Mr. Pulsar (pictured, above) arrived at PAX this year wanting to compete in the Guitar Hero II Tourneys and with the help of a new found friend ended up taking first place in the GH II team competition. In an amazing feat he turned around the next day and took home first place in the GH II singles tourney as well. Using the prize points he had won in the tournaments, he then purchased a Wii which he took around the conference and had various internet gaming celebs sign. Signers included VG Cats' Scott Ramsoomair and the masters of PAX themselves, Gabe and Tycho. Once the Wii was autographed to the teeth, he promptly donated it to Child's Play, Penny Arcade's charity for hospitalized children, to be auctioned off.

It really gives me renewed faith in the gaming populace to hear stories like this and I hope that other gamers will read this story and be inspired to similar acts. A tip of the hat to you, Mr. Pulsar, you are truly a Guitar Hero in more ways than one.

In this time of Playstation 3 violence and line-waiting, gamers should come together. 360, PS3, Wii, we're all just in it for the games, so why not go out and do a random act of kindness, like reader Jimmy Canuck.

JC decided to deliver cups of hot chocolate to his local line-waiters.

Reports have been coming in all day about problems with violence in the line-up's for the PS3. One look at Kotaku and you'll see everything you need to - four injured with BB guns in Kentucky, rioting outside of a Wal-Mart in Wisconsin, rioting inside of a Wal-Mart in California - and we've still got a day to go. Despite all of this, I had to pop into my local Best Buy this morning and saw about a dozen fanboys and one nice grandma huddled under plastic tarps and tents to keep themselves out of the freezing rain. So I drove across the parking lot to Tim Horton's and brought them all back hot chocolate.

I thought about writing "Buy a Wii instead" on the bottoms of all the cups, but by the time I thought of it they were already full of delicious chocolately goodness.

It's an easy thing to do, especially if there aren't too many line campers in your area - so on your way home from work today stop by your local PS3 line-up and do something nice.. After all, these people might be trampled to death at any moment.

If you do something kind (no, jumping someone with a PS3, beating their face into a pulp and taking their console isn't kind) email us you're story so we can post it.
