Saw this on reddit the other day. It really is touching. It's pretty amazing how much work must have gone into it though. They even had the guys from deadliest catch(!), though I'm not sure why it had to be them instead of some schmuck, but whatever.

Wow, that's even more heart warming than when a Developer from Lucas Arts helped a cancer patient develop a video game.
