In days of yore, you could just slap a knave across the face with a glove and challenge him to a man-duel. Now, we must resort to technology deployed in a highly controlled “game” scenario. That’s where our Christmas wish comes in, Daddy. The R/C Laser Shock Tanks. It’s like remote-control laser tag. If that weren’t sweet enough, every direct hit you score inflicts lets loose a shock through the controller into your opponent’s wrists.

Perfect for venting your inner sadist around the office.

R/C Laser Shocking Tanks $49.99 at Think Geek.
