Anger issues? Me? What the *&^%$^ are you talking about??

What do you do when you get angry? Scream. Break stuff? Throw things? Swear out the window? There’s an easier – and probably much safer way – to get out your anger. It’s called the RageGage. Think of a slightly over-sized hockey puck. The only differences are that this hockey puck is padded, has lights and can talk!!It just sits there on your desk until you feel the next next fit ot anger is building. When you do, you slam your fist down on RageGage Smash Pad. As you work through your rage there are audio taunts to push you on to hitting harder. A row of green, yellow and red LED lights act as a gauge meter to let you know how hard you’re hitting. There’s a final audio taunt that caught me off guard. It was something like: “Wow, you just voided your warrantee!” Right out of the box I thought it was fun, but after a few minutes I began to think, this gets boring fast. That’s why I thought I better check the directions. It turns out there’s a USB cable in the box, and once you connect RageGage to your computer, you can do a lot more with it. You can download different voices, which are free, for now anyway. You can play games online, or download a game. You play the games with a combination of using your computer keyboard and hitting your RageGage. There’s a whole Facebook app too when your can Tweet your rage level and compete with Facebook friends. RageGage is available in a bunch of patterns and colors. It retails for $19.99.
