While it's easy to fixate on the more ****** aspects of the game industry, it's always incredible to see when a developer does something like this.

Gearbox actually created a character in Borderlands 2 for a fan that passed at the age of 22. If you haven't heard it, here is the eulogy they provided for Michael Mamaril.

I might not be a developer or anything but i did something similar in my game of dragons dogma. Had a best friend of mine who had dealt with cancer most of his life. We both loved the character creation and how detailed it was, so we made a near exact copy of us, me the character and him as the pawn. The likeness was scary accurate with him in particular and became a running joke.

Did all this in the middle of his cancer rearing its head again. It took him long before i could finish the game. I put it down out of grief for a few months, but eventually got back into it, enjoying the chance to play with him again at least somewhat.

Honestly its the only reason i still have my xbox 360.

Now what about Yoteslaya?

He was a die hard fan of BL2 and decently popular youtuber, tried to beat a train and was subsequently killed.

He loved Borderlands 2, man.
I hope Gearbox smartens the **** up and adds some sort of memoram to Borderlands 3. Be it a gun or an NPC.
I think that would bring back a very large amount of people back to the fanbase.

I'd like to aggree with you, but at the same time, he was literally drunk driving when he died as far as i remember the story...
I'm just saying that they'll probably not make too big of a yoteslaya reference because of that.

I do know that he was drink driving at the time of the accident. And i'm fairly certain that was the reason why there was no mention of him the PreSequel.
But his passion for BL2 rivaled Bahroo's and Gothalion's passion for the game.
I would just like to see an easter egg gun called "The Slaya" or something.
His exit wasn't that great but let's be happy that he was there and not how he wasn't.

Gearbox are nice like that. This box you find in the Pre-sequel has the words "Isaiah's loot hand's off!" in it, which refers to a kid from the make a wish foundation who's favorite caracter was Gaige.

God damn, I love borderlands and was like cool CL4PTR4P and started the video and went and continued my grocery list while it played in the background and when clap slowed down and started breaking character I went like "oh no, I didn't sign up for these feels". That was beautiful, God speed you glorious bastard.

**Corndoggeh used "*roll picture*"**
**Corndoggeh rolled image** Really any buisiness that does that deserves regards. Due to a screwup with an alignment over a year ago, the inner side of the front tires were down to the cords. I didn't have ANY money to buy new tires until I was paid the next weed so I hoped that if I went to Discount Tire they could switch do a rotation to buy me some time. The manager showed me options and I explained the situation and he goes "come with me I need to show you something" (it was busy that day too) and I go with him to the bay and he tells me that he will put all 4 new tires on my truck at no charge and to come back in 2 weeks to pay what I could, he then asked if I had time after for an alignment and he then called the local firestone and set me up with the manager there to get their lifetime alignment under the same deal that I come back in a few weeks and pay it off.

I damn well made sure to pay everything back in full those 2 weeks later on time and they both earned a lifetime customer for taking such a large risk to help a random customer.

In Skyrim, people made a mod about a guy who's brother passed away, they put a small monument to where his last location in game was, and you can see the ghost of the player and his companion.

A kid with a terminal sickness wanted to meet the creators of League of Legends. His favorite hero was Jax, and the skin in that pic was his favorite to wear. Unfortunately, the kid passed on, but they added a line when he wears that skin to honor him. "Here's to you, kid."

make a wish foundation kid was big fan of jax from league of legends. he went in to riot games and spent a couple days there with staff seeing how game was made and stuff. he ended up dying i think it was leukemia , and they made this skin in honor of him. that's why all money raised on that skin goes to the make a wish foundation, and that line (here's to you, kid).

I know Bethesda did something like that with FO4's Nuka World. They added a character called Evan based on a fan who passed away.

Pity i only ever find him once every never. I only saw him a couple times in god knows how many hours i put into the xbox version after i broke my ankle. I looked almost every time i entered sanctuary, it got to the point where i actually had a stopwatch to see how fast i could visit each spot he appears in, and i was comparing different routes and everything. Cant remember my times though.

When the game first came out there a bug where instead of having like a 10% chance of showing up, it had a 100% chance, so every time I visited Sanctuary he was there giving me cool rare gun.

I figured they'd get something special since it's a lot more popular over there. I hope they eventually distribute to everyone though.

I used to be like that until I splurged for it a year or so ago. It's definitely worth buying outright so you don't miss any Splatfests. Those are the best moments in the game

I'm going to buy those Splatoon joycons this year and wait until next year to get a Switch.
I've heard of a lot of production errors on the console itself so I'm waiting for Nintendo to fix those before the next production line-up is made.

Are you going to buy a Switch as well? I'm making Switch friends because I know only one person who has a Switch.

I actually have one, and I haven't had any issues. I know it has a few innate errors, but I've treated mine well and it hasn't failed me yet.

I got mine early so I could play the Splatoon 2 beta, which definitely was worth it.
