Is anyone else finding Tiny Tina to be extremely annoying?

She's odd, but quite hilarious for the time being... I mean, what do you expect out of a 13 year old who has no other real human interaction (much like todays youth?)?

I guess its just me then...I don't find her funny that much.
Well, I do admit that the "tea party" was delightfully twisted.

C'Mon you DIDN'T like hunting down "badonkadonks" ??

Nope. I was just really confused why she kept called the rockets "butts." Are rockets on Pandora powered by baked beans or something?

Make sure you find the "Patient Logs" in the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve.

They make Tiny Tina so much less...psychotic in your eyes after hearing them.

Yeah, that was a very nice touch. I love finding those audio logs. I still find Tina to be annoying, but it does flesh out her character some at least.
It would be awesome if there was an audio log showing the adverse effects of the New-U machines, like, the more times you get resurrected the more insane you become. It would show how psychos came to be, for one thing.

Any idea where to find Zero's and Salvador's logs? I have no idea where to find those.

**Kanluwen**

Salvador's are in Thousand Cuts and Zer0's in...an area I'm drawing a blank on right now.

**Necros**

Finished the game last night. I liked the final battle and ending a lot more than the first game. But me being the noob that I am, I found the easiest way possible to kill the warrior.

Spoiler:

**CthuluIsSpy**

What do those bonus blue objectives give you? Like, "kill 15 bullymongs" for the quest Hammerlock gives out.

Extra xp and badass tokens I think.

**Avatar 720**

A warm feeling inside.

Extra XP and cash.

You don't get awarded Badass tokens for completing missions, but there is one challenge which is for completing the "Optional" objectives.

**CthuluIsSpy**

Has anyone found this yet?

I intend to get it next time I play BL2.

**Kanluwen**

Yep.

It's terrible.

Doesn't seem to be that bad. Gives %75 percent more crit damage and appears to pack quite a punch. What does "thinking outside the box do?"

**Avatar 720**

Fires seven shots in burst mode.

Heh, nice reference.

Just got "The Sham" Vladof shield from BNK-3R on True Vault Hunter Mode.

75% absorption chance. My bullets will always be full! Mwhahahaha.

I guess that makes you a veritable bullet magnet then

**Kanluwen**

If you are not signed up for SHiFt, you need to be. Especially given that Randy Pitchford (@DuvalMagic on Twitter) is posting up Golden Key codes as part of a "SHiFt stress testing" mechanic.

A code for each platform has been posted, and they become redeemable in 1 hr and 38 minutes.

Oh yes. It works great with my Support build, where my shields never fall.

Set a reminder in Outlook to run into the house and enter it.

I used my shift codes (2) the other day to see what would happen. Got a Purple Rocket Launcher (awesome) and 2 purple grenade mod (disappointing).

Are people holding their keys or just using them?

**Kanluwen**

Since my Commando is 50...I'm using them.

Basically, the loot you get from the chest is dependent upon the level of your character which opens it. So use your highest level character to open it.

**pretre**

Heh. My highest level character is 16 or 17. The Rocket Launcher made bosses trivial though at this point. 1500 damage stat + explosion bonus is nothing to sneeze at.

I figured the levelling speed bonus would be worth it if I got good stuff.

**Kanluwen**

Basically:
You'll want to use one key, tops, at lower levels. If it gets you something spectabularly wondertastic--that's great!

If it doesn't--meh. It'll still be something you can pass around characters, it'd have to be good for one of them right?

Save the keys for higher levels where good loot becomes an issue.

**pretre**

Fair enough. I will save the rest of them.

**Kanluwen**

Alternatively, you could do what a friend of mine is doing where he used a key at 25, 30, 40, and then 45.

**pretre**

Hmm. I don't have that many. I got one for registering with shift and one from the 10k redemption. Hoping for one more in an hour or so.

Took a couple tries, but it went through.

**Necros**

Do you have to be signed up for twitter to get the codes? I got the first 2 codes for signing up for shift, but I'm too lazy to sign up for anything else and I'm one of those low tech old people that hates twitter and facebook

**Kanluwen**

You don't need to be signed up for Twitter to get the codes, but you do need to be able to actually view his tweets.

**Alfndrate**

What is SHiFt?

**pretre**

Shift is a weird customer loyalty thingy that's built into the game. If you sign up for it, you get a key to the gold chest in Sanctuary. Then you can enter c odes that get you more keys.

**Necros**

meh .. the code will be dead by the time I get home from work.. oh well.

**pretre**

He said it was a Euro testing. There'll be more for US.
