After much deliberation Cam has finally chosen the winner of his Desert Bus driver challenge! Congrats to Jon, who wins a set of From the Vault: Exiled, very generously donated by Wizards of the Coast.

Honorable mentions go to David and Donovan!

And here’s the rest of the entries!

We got a number of great submissions for the Dengler & Butts poster challenge, but the winner is…

Kia-Ora!

The rest of the amazing submissions are here:

Three more auctions are up for bidding and they’re all genuine works of art:

• Crafter Cheryl Kraus has made a gorgeous glass and wire Deep Flame necklace for all of your bids!
• A signed, limited edition poster of the volume 2 TPB cover of Fathom with certificate of authenticity!
• A very special set of 3D magic cards hand crafted by Justin Barr (who himself is also in 3D).

Pulling inspiration from Anne Wheaton and Bonnie Burton and VandalEyes.net, we’ve asked you to do some VandalEyesing to a Desert Bus theme (or meme)! Cast an eye or two over all of our great submissions. And first of all, here’s our winner, “Vandalnaise:”

Mikey Neumann is the Chief Creative “Champion” at Gearbox Software. He has worked at the company since Half Life for Playstation 2 and loves what he does. In addition to writing many of the games at Gearbox, he’s also the voice of Scooter in the Borderlands series.

On the side he writes comics and novels. If you want to read some of his books, you can do that for free at his publishing website, “BOZ.” Head on over and check out some of his material at www.bozpublishing.com

One time he ran over a banana peel in his car and that’s where Mario Kart came from. (The last thing isn’t true. He’s actually quite allergic to bananas. One time he held one and he died. Okay, that’s not totally true either. Mikey is a pathological lie-face.)

What is true is that there will be an awesome auction for a lot that includes a whole bunch of Borderlands stuff.

Mikey will be calling in on Sunday at 7:00 PM PST, 10:00 PM EST, 3:00 AM GMT. Leave your questions in the comments!

Are you ready for one of the biggest live auctions in Desert Bus history? Starting at 4PM PST (in just moments!)!

The winner of the auction will get a custom N7 Jacket custom made!

This is one classy jacket!  And if that wasn’t enough we are including a very cool, brand new model of the Cerberus Normandy SR-2!
