    I initially thought it was a hoax, but after reading several net articles, it seemed that one of my favorite Youtube Borderlands 2 video guide makers was killed in a car crash. Reportedly the driver of the vehicle attempted to outrun a train at a rail crossing and lost his own and two other lives; police suspect that alcohol may have been a factor. Either way, it a devastating loss of life for a bad decision.

    For those that don't know who Yoteslaya is, here's a link to his Youtube Page, where he has thousands of videos about how to play games better. He was a gamer's resource that was considered legendary. There's an on line movement to get Gearbox, who own's the Borderlands titles, to dedicate or memorialize him in within its Borderlands game like it had previously done with another fan who had died of cancer. IMHO, this would be a fitting tribute and recognition of all the hard work this guy had put into this game. An example of his well known commentary, starting with his trademark audio lead in, "What is going on, ladies and genitals, Yoteslaya here..." :

    Either way, RIP, gamer. Even as I never knew you personally, nonetheless, I'm going to miss you. Condolences to the family and the gaming community.
