I do believe I’ve found the perfect Christmas gift for the office. It’s called “Shocking Tanks” and it’s basically a set of two remote controlled tanks and two R/C controllers. The concept is easy enough - you have one person operate each of the tanks using an R/C controller and then have the tanks try to take each other out using the infrared cannon.  When a tank registers a hit, this where the “fun” begins. The person operating the tank getting hit, gets a little electric jolt through the controller. There are two shock levels labeled “Wimp” and “Tough Guy” and yes.. this is not suitable for those under 14. There’s a review of it here at TechRepublic. There’s even a funny YouTube clip of people playing with it:
