This is old news I am sure, but for anyone who hasn't played Borderlands or Borderlands 2 I highly recommend both. Everyone at Gearbox are incredibly thoughtful, and very unique with awesome humor most notably including their small Hyperion robot: Claptrap. I want to put how thoughtful it is out there for them to have made this, and I would hope more pay their respects.

Michael Mamaril is based off a real person, whom Gearbox Software decided to pay tribute to (hence, the "Tribute to a Vault Hunter" Achievement/Trophy). A Destructoid fan named Carlo wrote an email into Gearbox Software about his friend, Michael John Mamaril, who passed away from cancer at 22. Michael was a huge fan of Borderlands 2 and Carlo thought that he would be cool for Claptrap to read a eulogy
