Gearbox to honor late fan as an NPC in Borderlands 2

Destructoid's Tony Ponce writes, "This morning, we received an email from a Destructoid fan named Carlo who shared a story about his late friend Michael John Mamaril. Last month, Michael passed away due to cancer at the young age of 22. Both were huge Borderlands fans, so Carlo thought a great way to honor his buddy's memory would be to shoot Gearbox Software an email asking for a short eulogy to be read by the game's smart-mouthed robot mascot Claptrap."

WARNING! POOR TASTE JOKE BELOW!

Well, at least they will have an excuse for the stiff animations for once.

On a serious note though, that is a really cool thing for Gearbox to do, much respect for them.

Someone dying is nothing to joke about.

DarkBlood4554d ago

i wouldnt give a damn if someone made a joke on me if i ever were to die of something someday

Chnswdchldrn4554d ago

its the internet. your moral values are invalid

BX814554d ago (Edited 4554d ago )

@DarkBlood. That's ok because you don't mind, so I'll be sure when you die to make a comment about how your dad pipped you as a kid but for someone you don't know it's not so funny.

DarkBlood4554d ago

fair enough i guess, since it should be obvious to me the only ones caring if its funny or not are the ones that are alive for which i did not laugh at whatever joke the guy was trying to make anyways

Laxman4554d ago

Loosen up. If you cant make light hearted jokes about a tragedy, then there is nothing but the pain, misery and sadness that comes with it. It only makes it worse becuase all you are thinking about is the bad behind it.

When i Die, ill Leave so much Debt that my Tombstone will be Repo'd

chazjamie4554d ago

@laxman. those are some wise words. I been watching every season of 6 feet under, and my word you nailed it.
i am telling my friend today when i die, he must send an email to capcom and inform them that i am the biggest Dante (DMC) fan to exist. Hopefully capcom still loves their fans as much as their fans love their games (not all games)

Hopefully, they fired the entire writing team after B3 cause that dialogue was truly atrocious.

jeromeface154d ago

doubtful... this is gearbox we're talking about.. Randy thinks everything the studio does is gold because he has a bad concept of reality

DrDoomer154d ago

FFS make something else. If you can't make anything new, at least bring back Brothers In Arms or something.

-Foxtrot154d ago

I know it will never happen (for obvious story reasons that's happened) but I wish we could play the original Vault hunters again with new abilities you could choose to develop in a skill branch. Never really felt I could get behind most of them after the first game, especially move wise. Lilith's phase walk will always be the best to me.

Speaking of Lilith, I'm kind of wondering how they'll get around the whole Siren thing since they wrote themselves into a corner saying there's "only 6 Sirens in the entire universe" and now thanks to Borderlines 3 they apparently pass on their abilities meaning once we see each of 6 powers available that's it, no new brand new ones. I don't know why they don't just say there's more than 6 since all of them in the ENTIRE Universe just conveniently coming to Pandora is a bit strange.

BrainSyphoned154d ago

That's super easy to get around. Each person that has the skill could have their own personal spin on it. There could be a new power that morphs them into something else. One of the weapon manufacturers could experiment on 5 of the Sirens and the 6th would have to fight a horde of siren powered bad guys to rescue the others. Fiction has been there and done that with power more complex or simple thousands of times before.

As for revisting the first game? That would be totally unlike the gaming industry to reboot a series...
