In the days of my youth, there were many hours spent playing games with others that involved inflicting pain on one another. There was “Quarters”, where a player would lay there fist down on a table, while someone would slingshot a quarter using their thumb into the bare-knuckle. Of course the loser would always be who bled first. Now it looks as though I’ll be able to relive some of those quirky childhood memories with the Pocket Shock-It. This game, coming out of England is all about reaction time and reflexes. Basically, players will put their thumbs on buttons around the device, then an electric charge will begin to store. Then once the command is given to press the button, the player who is last to press receives an electric jolt. You can use such device to decide who has to drive to go out, or who has to buy dinner that night, etc… The Pocket Shock-IT retails for £11.99, and can be purchased here.
