If this doesn't leave warm and fuzzy feelings in your bones, you clearly have no soul

I struggled to find a decent headline for a story that is as heart touching and wonderful as this.
You’ve likely never heard of Michael John Mamaril, in fact most people outside of his group of friends wouldn’t know who he was but Michael was a massive Borderlands fan and unfortunately also had cancer.


He lost his battle with cancer at the young age of 22 and to try and honour his Michael his best friend, Carlo, emailed Gearbox software and asked if they could please put a short eulogy together for Michael using the voice of Claptrap.


It must have been a strange request to receive but the incredible guys at Gearbox software not only agreed and put together a quick eulogy (listen to it below) but then also went a step further and offered to give Michael a part in Borderlands 2 as one of the NPC characters so that he could live forever in the game world he so loved.
Thankfully Carlo let Destructoid know about this after the funeral events had transpired and now we are all able to hear something special for ourselves.

Dude if you saw all the letters I read everyday lamenting the fact that children in africa are dying you wouldn't care either.

Plus there is the whole Misanthropy thing yeah.
 
Ok, so let's not turn this thread into another "I hate everyone on planet earth" threads....

It's about the good thing that Gearbox did!

Awesome at least there are still some decent development houses with people in them out there that one can gladly support

That was cool of Gearbox. If Borderlands 2 ends up being a crap game, I hope Michael haunts them forever:mad: Anyway, what type of role do you think Michael will have in the game?
