We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky. We're casual, conversational, NSFW and hopefully interesting. We hope you enjoy it.

Altruistic Efforts: Autographed Guitar Hero Controller

 guitar.JPGOne of our fellow geeks, a man who guys by the name Mister Three and regularly kicks the shit out Chris at Every Extend Extra Extreme has done something immensely charitable. We've been sitting on this one for a while, but back at PAX Senor Three went around collecting signatures on a Guitar Hero Controller with the express purpose of auctioning it off and donating the proceeds to Child's Play. The controller is signed by the likes of these here ne'erdowells:

  • Tycho and Gabe
  • Wil Wheaton
  • Jonathan Coulton
  • Caitlin Glass (Winry from FMA)
  • Gus Sorola, Geoff Ramsey, and Burnie Burns (Simmons, Grif, and Church from RvB)
  • Harmonix Employees (Makers of Guitar Hero): Alex Rigopulos (Co Founder), Sean Baptiste (Community Director), Dan Teasdale (Senior Programmer)
  • Dave Grossman (Co-Creator of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and the new Sam and Max)
  • Ron Gilbert (Co-Creator of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion)
  • Members of Optimus Rhyme
  • Members of The MiniBosses
  • Liz Excitement from Freezepop
  • MC Frontalot

The bidding is getting heated folks, get into the excitement now to own not only a one of a kind piece of gamer kitsch but also to give to a good cause.
