Good Night Mr. Colbert

In 1996 I started watching what would be come one of my favorite shows of all time, The Daily Show. Jon Stewart opened an entire world of world events, and politics that before that I just didn't care about. Because of the Daily Show I actually started to watch the news. Stewart brought me something else too, Steven Colbert.

In 2005 Steven got his own show, The Colbert Report. Steven played a fictional anchorman he discribed as "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot."  He satirized political pundits tirelessly, in particular Bill O'Reilly.  Tonight was his final episode.

Colbert did so much more than make me laugh though. He made the insanity of the world bearable. No matter how crazy everything got, no matter how stupid I thought a political event was I knew I could turn on the Report and laugh my away my annoyance for a good half an hour.

The show ended in it's usual over the top craziness, I laughed my way threw the episode as I always do and at the very end Mr. Colbert thanked the Colbert Nation, but Mr. Colbert I'd like to thank you. You really did bring a lot of light to my, and so many others worlds. Thank you for making me laugh and making it seem like just maybe everything was going to be alright.

All is not lost though, we still have The Daily Show and Steven will be taking of the Late Show, replacing Letterman some time next year. Awhile he wont be the same over the top Steven Colbert we've grown to love over the years, I'm hoping the show is still just as funny.

Anyway if you haven't had your fill of The Colbert Report yet you can check out some of his greatest moments at :

Gearbox has released news on the next DLC of Borderlands 2, T.K Baha's Bloody Harvest.  We first met T.K. Baha in the first Borderlands game, blind, missing a leg and brandishing a shotgun. Spoilers, later in the game we find him murdered by bandits, hanging in his shack by his prosthetic leg. In the expansion "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned," T.K. make surprise reappearance as a zombie. Anyway, T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest is set to be released October 22, 2013 on PS3, XBox 360, and steam for $2.99. The DLC is set to have new missions, multiple side quests and a boss battle against the Pumpkin Kingpin. Along the quests you'll get different candies that give you temporary buffs. This is supposed to be the first of Borderlands 2 headhunter packs, where you take out a boss which will give you it's wearable head and a new skin for your character.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

That's right it's a new day and another bounty has been released for all of us hunters in the Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt. Today's bounty is DJ Tanner , he can be found in Magnys Lighthouse . This hunt is another that is in the Captain Scarlett DLC. He should drop the " Tidal Wave " that can be used for the community bounty. Speaking of the community bounty, today's community bounty is Sand Worm Queens . You may remember fighting one while doing the My life for a sand sandskiff mission  early on in the DLC. A Sand Worm Queen is what leaps out of the sand and swallows Lionel's engine capacitor. I found the best place to find the Sand Worm Queen in Wurmwater just north of the Rustyard exit in a crater. You actually have to hope out of your skiff for them to spawn and they don't always spawn. I have a picture of the location down below. Borderlands 2 screen shot, Captain Scarlett DLC, Sand Worm Queen location.
