What's scarier, being absolutely broke or regretting never taking a chance t' have a piece a video game history? An auction for Akira Yamaoka's guitar 'n FX amps, which be used t' create the audio atmosphere for a little franchise called Silent Hill, be currently underway on eBay ('n will last for five days).

The auction be part a Play for Japan, a coordinated effort t' present consumers 'n gamers with means t' help the relief effort in Japan. If ye partake, ye'll not only feel good about donating money t' Japan, but ye'll possibly give this guitar a new home 'n outlook on life, one filled with joy, sunshine 'n family -- not giant death bunnies 'n other unspeakable horrors.
