April Fools' Day is probably the most confusing “holiday” that we recognize.  It’s the one day of the year that people can get away with being complete arses without the prerequisite of intoxication.  Some people partake in small workplace shenanigans while others manufacture elaborate schemes that test the limit of the recipient’s psyche.  And while I do nothing at all, I do encourage it.  So here’s a list that I found featuring 50 easy to execute pranks that you can do right now.

36. Take something from someone’s office and leave them a ransom note.
35. Add several odd appointments with alarms set to go off during the day to a co-worker’s Outlook calendar.

33. Put a “Please Use Other Door” sign on the entrance to your office building if it only has one entrance.
32. Put a balloon on the tailpipe of a someone’s car so it will pop when they start their car.
31. Glue the headset of someone’s phone down to the cradle.
30. Take the door knob off a door and put it back on backwards, then lock it and leave the door open.
29. Put plastic wrap around the door frame of a commonly used door.

vVv Gaming and Trevor from Kontrol Freek said:

How do KontrolFreeks work?
Our products snap on over your existing thumb pads to improve your gaming experience on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. Our flagship product is the FPS Freek. It works by increasing the length of your stock sticks by about 40%. This gives you more aiming control in first-person shooters like Halo and Call of Duty etc...

What is the science behind them?
Increasing the linear distance your thumb travels gives you the opportunity to make smaller adjustments and also “snap” to targets much faster in first-person shooters. This gives you the luxury of turning up controller sensitivities without sacrificing precision. Using the FPS Freek honestly gives you the closest feel to a mouse possible on a console today.

How can they improve your play?
The greater leverage offers you better control and less force. This helps to alleviate thumb-fatigue and adds more comfort to long gaming sessions. In short, this increased accuracy and decreased thumb-fatigue results in more kills and less deaths.

How long does it take to get accustomed to using them?
It varies, really. Some people get used to them quite quickly and notice a difference right away. Others take a little longer. I would say, try them for a week and see what happens. 95% of the time people are pleased with the results.

You have different kinds of Freeks. Can you explain the differences between each and explain what they were designed to do?
Besides the FPS Freek that I spent the last few minutes talking about, we also have the TD Freek and the Speed Freek. The TD Freek works much in the same way as the FPS Freek but was designed with Madden players in mind. For the sake of comfort, we used a softer material for grip and went with a convex design for the thumb pad. It's getting some pretty positive reviews. The Speed Freek is a little different. It was specifically designed to help you gain faster lap times in racing games like Forza and Grand Turismo. It is a "U" shaped attachment that acts like a cradle for your thumb. It helps you keep your thumb in place while holding long turns and aids you in making smaller adjustments on the track. It's quite unique and our fans have found many other uses for it--like in SKATE and HAWX for example.

Let’s talk longevity. How long do a pair last?
I don't really have a definitive answer to this question. It's like asking how long a car will last. It all depends on how much you play, the alkalinity of your skin, how much you sweat, all those x factors. In my experience they last longer than the stock Xbox 360 sticks.

Can you link us to some reviews so players have independent sources to compare information?
A good place to get unbiased reviews from normal gamers like yourself is actually on our own website: http://www.kontrolfr...view-Index.aspx Other than that you can just do a Google search or hop on YouTube and see the many video reviews found there.

Follow @KontrolFreek and @vvv_gaming, and start tweeting for your chance to win!

Those of you in-the-know already know, but for those who don’t know or just pretend to know, you really need to check out Attack of the Show—‘cause they know, you know?  And the latest “Attack This” segment proves how much they really know.  Their World Class Gaming Gear feature this week is the single best segment ever featured on G4TV… EVAR!  Of course, we’re a little biased because KontrolFreek was spotlighted in this week’s slice—but whatever.

Anyway, we’re pretty excited about it and wanted to thank all of you Freeks once again for your continued support.  We love seeing our products on TV, we love Alison Haislip talking about them on TV and we love you guys and gals for helping us get there.  Thank You!

Carefully designed to give gamers more leverage, the FPS Freek adapter adds movement precision without disturbing the natural game-playing feel. Team FeaR felt the advantage of using the FPS Freek first hand in recent MLG tournaments they’ve won, including the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare National Championship this November.

“We’ve been using FPS Freek’s for months and wouldn’t dare play without them”, said Joey ‘Moho’ Morehouse, Captain of Team FeaR. “We’re competitive gamers and winning matters – using FPS Freek is now just part of our winning routine.”  “We’re extremely proud of Team FeaR and their recent top place finish in Anaheim,” said Ashish Mistry, CEO of KontrolFreek. “We can’t wait to see how our guys do at nationals in Orlando this January.”

The KontrolFreek products are approved for use in MLG tournaments and have been widely adopted across the first person shooter, fighter and sports gaming genres. In fact, gamers have been evolving the products original use across many gaming titles.

In addition to the FPS Freek, KontrolFreek also offers the SpeedFreek. Designed to gives gamers added control and comfort when playing racing and aviation games, the SpeedFreek's supporting slide walls enable sharper movements while adding control and precision.The FPS Freek and the SpeedFreek are $9.99 each and can be purchased at www.kontrolfreek.com or participating retailers.
