Martin "AmbossTV" Rabl has a habit of getting mad at Fifa 15. A little too mad. As someone who suffers from the occasional bout of flailing, wailing gamer rage, I can identify. Rabl's solution? A shock collar—yes, the kind intended to keep dogs from barking—that gives him a quick jolt when he gets too loud. It looks... uncomfortable.

The collar also shocks him when he laughs, so the plan isn't exactly fool-proof.
