Claptrap's Eulogy

[revarvel]

This makes me choke up every time.

[thgodofwar]

Gearbox: The nicest motherfuckers ever.

[x2n2004]

Wish could have hung out with you more, Mamaril..

[DeadSpaceMartyr90]

Made me shed a few tears R.I.P Michael

[ciccio39figo]

this is one of the classiest & most heartfelt things i've ever heard in my whole life! finally someone establishes a relationship with fans. see you in BL2 Mike, even though i don't know you... R.I.P.

[GRAWpcsucks216]

See you in BL2 my gaming brother.

[jjfiejnsp1]

So touching. Literally crying. To gaming, to Gearbox, and to Michael.

[TheKiraDood5]

Gearbox = One of the few gaming companies who actually CARE about their fans.

[GameGeek300]

Bro tears were shed. To Michael

[LKR1Dust]

To Michael!!!!!!!!!

[wolfates]

See you Michael in Borderlands 2!

[RubenMagana666]

LONG LIVE MICHEAL!!!!

[veitsknight]

@JimmelHappyFunTime, No. This is not the same Michael. Mico died about a week after the Long Live Play commercial was uploaded. I did contact sony and see if they could change the picture, but fuck'em. Never replied. Corporate Bastards.

[MrSneakySly]

I seriously cried when I heard this and had the Modern Warfare 3 ending song in the background..

[alexberry1991]

Gearbox, you have now solidifed your position as the best group of people on earth. This is the most touching gesture I've ever seen any deveoper give. To Michael!

[Machiniman20]

RIP Michael,

As a fellow gamer, I cannot say I ever knew you.

As a fellow human, I cannot say I ever saw you.

But as I like to say, all people, in death, shed their sins, shed their hate, and go to where they want. may you live on forever in borderlands, Michael.

[iammjolnir]

RIP Michael.

I may not have known you, but I do know this. You were a fellow gamer, and a Borderlands fan. As far as I'm concerned, that's all I need to know about you.

[MrJoeFlightless]

To Michael! And to the soulless wretches who disliked out of what I'm assuming is a grudge against the Borderlands series, I say fuck you... I've never even played Borderlands, and even then, nothing, I mean nothing, will make me disrespect Gearbox in anyway after this... And again I say, TO MICHAEL!

[fatalnightmare22]

When i find this guy in the game, my friends and I will give him our own farewall with the 21 gun salute :(

[wakoquacko]

Just can't stop crying at that. Truly touching 

[silence811]

R.I.P Michael John Mamaril

You Changed my life. We never met but i will never forget you.

Great work Gearbox ! Thats the only way to thank a Great fan and the team did it on a beautiful way.

[codRookie313]

Touching. R.I.P Micheal. He will not be forgotten.

[Houkai1]

R.I.P. Michael =/

[juanelo391]

que descance en paz TO MICHAEL

[SuperGamecube64]

My respect for Gearbox just skyrocketed.

[ToxixicaFree]

Seriously teared up listening to this eulogy. What a darling thing for Gearbox to do! Rest in Peace Michael.

[juicifergizzle]

I didn't plan on drinking tonight, but I must raise my wine glass to our fallen gamer brethren.

And you bet your ass I will raise my glass again when I find this claptrap in borderlands!

Rest in peace Michael and hang in there Carlo!

[areev]

a toast to Micheal. =')

-Long Live Play

[linkszxx]

T_T

[SuperMario1611]

I feel bad. I'm gonna look for his NPC in Borderlands 2. We salute our fallen comrade. PRESENT ARMS!!! *Salute*

[SirManguydude]

I cried a little bit.

[RTOONS42]

@SirManguydude I might have too..

[jackkuro]

Que descance en paz.

[Sawyervilleman]

For michael! May he rest in peace, may his friends and family find peace too, i know how hard it can be to lose someone you love to cancer. It's pretty painful, but thanks to Gearbox, he will be remembered and immortalised. I hope it will help his family to overcome his death.

Peace and have faith!

[xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

Claptrap was not annoying for once. I think that sums up how amazingly nice this was.

[LethalPekin]

Who disliked this?

[Lostwanderer14012]

they have my sympathy I know how it feels to lose family and friends

[tellytoy]

how do people dislike this?!? have they no souls?

[KingBobCat]

Borderlands is an awesome game and Gearbox has again shown us that they're a top-notch company!

[maggie112801]

2 people are heartless monsters

[sarge55555550000000]

i salute you gear box and you especially you Michael R.I.P. i am a 19 year old guy but i can admit this made me cry alot. thank you gearbox for restoring my faith in humanity

[TheGrizzlyReaper78]

R.I.P Michael

Kudos to Gearbox

you guys are awesome,borderlands is awesome and i like how they support the fans

the thing with the wedding and now with this not so cheerful moment

i am a sarcastic and sometimes a ignorant and foul mouthed person

but things like these always get to me

R.I.P Michael

you were a fellow gamer

[B4i1zebub]

Having endured and thankfully overcome Cancer (Leukemia) myself this has brought a little tear to my eye and i remember how friends, family and strangers helped me with my struggle.

RIP Michael and a friendly handshake to Gearbox.

As a person as cynical and sarcastic as the rest, things like this remind me, that one day, we're going to get everything right.

[TheMightyKawama]

@B4i1zebub well done on kicking the shit outta cancer's sorry ass! glad to see people DO make it, I know a few friends who have relatives with it and I'll tell them about you tomorrow when I go back to school

[ladydeathanji]

Rest in peace, Michael.

[monkeykid61]

This is why Gearbox is the only company I can really believe in.

[mitchjay1992]

Gearbox are really cool, first the proposal then this, what a truly amazing team of people.

R.I.P Michael.

[TheGreenskullgaming]

A tear rolled down my eye.... Gearbox you're truly amazing people.

[FivePercentSure]

So say we all!

[TimAyro]

Can't wait for Borderlands 2 so gearbox can TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY

FOR MICHAEL!

[pyroco101]

TO MICHAEL!

[JimmelHappyFunTime]

@pyroco101 Hm, is this the same Michael from the PS3 "Live. Long. Play." ad? Guessing it's just a coincidence, but still very touching for Gearbox to do this.

[JakeCWolf]

@pyroco101 To Michael!

[KignofDiggins]

To Michael, a toast of scotch and a manly tear.

[ELEEdoa]

My name is Eric Lee. I am a gamer. I'll raise my glass as well.

I'd like to point out how much I've come to love Gearbox for their hands on approach with the people who enjoy their work. No other company does these things in such a way.

[MrFugums343]

My name is Brian Paddock.

I am a gamer.

And I mourn for Micheal John Mamaril.

[MrFugums343]

It's bogus, media making us out to be people who don't care about anything but video games, people who are ignorant, and people who have no regard for others.

They often forget that gaming is a world filled with people who play games because it's fun, and we are connected by that fact.

We are all gamers, we all love the same thing, surely that makes us the same as everyone else. We are together, all joined by our love for games.

And we have lost one of our own.

And we mourn him.

[KingDeadly626]

I don't know who Michael is, but I hope he may rest in peace. This video made me tear up.

Like the top comment...

*Salutes*

Rest in peace, Michael.

[Luclikesgames]

Rest in Peace Michael

[rebirthangel]

This is one of the reasons why I love Gearbox so much. Besides the kickass video games, but also, they care about there fans.

I'm glad they're open enough to make videos for fans. :)

[Xman2006]

R.I.P. Mike

[QWERTYCommander]

RIP Michael. I never knew you, but I hope that your saga lives with your friends and family.

[madd0gsquid]

I love this world. Even out of the worst situations people show that there's still a lot good out there.

[ImBehindYouNow]

Also, the person who disliked this has no soul whatsoever.

[ImBehindYouNow]

This is pretty damn epic, I mean really freaking epic and touching. Gearbox, I praise you.

[tacomanfan]

wow this is touching

[xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

Wow, Gearbox you are now my favorite game developer of all time.

[lordskyller]

Michael will be an NPC in Borderlands 2.

R.I.P. Michael

Me and many other gamers will remember you in the future.

[TheCommanderPanda]

Live on forever In Borderlands <3

[chitownrsin]

R.I.P. Mike now you will inhabit the world you loved to play, now that's awesome.

[CutAndStick]

[Kiddizzy]

[Outcasttim]

I cried both for Michael but also kinda proud to say im part of a Community of Gamers that houses such a bond. i hope this is proof to those who underestimate the human side to all Gamers. Rest In Peace for now Michael hope your soul comes back to us as a Gamer again in the future.. in advance if this happens Welcome back.and to Carlo i Praise you for having the fortitude to go to this level of honouring your Friend. Lastly Gearbox it is an absolute astonishing show of compassion on your part.<3

[playman350]

[Deokflsa]

This restored my faith in humanity.

[Spamdownftw]

[nico641]

I salute our fallen member of the Borderlands gaming community. Rest in Peace.

[banksprice77]

So sad. R.I.P. Michael john Mamaril.

[gunzlingerbil]

indeed he will live on forever in the hearts of loved ones and in borderlands...may his soul rest in peace.

[patrickjcollett]

this is how game developers show appreciation to a fan who recently passed on.. R.I.P Michael John Mamaril..

[XxShadowOfAgesxX]

I don't know who Michael is.

But i know he was a fellow gamer.

A fellow human.

A man.

A person who lived his life.

A Borderlander.

*stands at attention*

*Salutes*

Rest In Peace Michael.

[ataboytt]

@XxShadowOfAgesxX R.I.P. Michael

[Flashcreature24]

Beautiful how Gearbox wanted to honor your wish, honestly.

It makes me warm inside.

Best of luck to those who knew Michael.

[thickerthanair]

Oh, how that breaks my heart. To Michael!

[ltanza66]

Thank you so much for doing this, we really appreciate it . Michael ( Mico ) was my nephew who I know was an avid gamer, he played to divert his attention from all the pain that he had at that time. A very strong kid , never complained , it's just unfortunate that he was taken from us so soon .
