Gearbox

Carlo’s friend Michael passed away the other day at the young age of 22. Both were huge Borderlands fans so Carlo emailed Gearbox, developers of Borderlands, asking if they would mind doing a eulogy by the game’s smart-mouthed robot mascot Claptrap. Not only did Gearbox comply with the request, it also promised to insert Michael into the upcoming Borderlands 2 as an NPC. Hands down this has got to be one of the most heartfelt connections between fan and game developer. We’re pretty impressed and I just added the Borderlands series to my Steam going-to-buy-for-sure list.

For some reason Soundcloud isn’t letting me embed the audio file of the eulogy so I’ll just link to it instead. It’s definitely worth listening to.
