Mentos and Diet Coke Explosion at 1200fps: Casio EX-F1 Strikes Again
Giz reader Robert Woodhead combined two things that I just can't seem to get sick of seeing: Stuffing Mentos into Diet Coke bottles and the super-slow-mo action of Casio's EX-F1 camera to create this stunningly beautiful video. More »

DIY Discovery Channel: Casio EX-F1 Slow-Mo Cam In My Backyard
Tomato violence only marks the beginning of my love affair with the Casio's Exilim EX-F1, aka the Hiro Nakamura supercam. It's crazy addictive. Last weekend I went looking for fast-moving objects to capture in slow-mo, and in my backyard I came up with a freakin' menagerie of unexpectedly interesting little beasties. More »

Casio Exilim EX-F1: Tomato Violence at 300, 600 and 1200fps
What's the first thing we did with our Casio Exilim EX-F1, the Hiro Nakamura camera/camcorder that makes time stand still? We recorded a mini Cuisinart laying havoc to some tomatoes. Why? If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be here. The top vid is a view of the carnage at 300 frames per second. (As you'll see, I call my food processor "Hitchcock" because it's always keeping me in suspense.) Below, additional tomatoes get annihilated at 600fps and then 1200fps, with increasing detail, but decreasing resolution and light. More »

KontrolFreek, the company that made the SpeedFreek add-ons to the Xbox 360 controller that we reviewed last year, has a new accessory coming soon called the FPS Freek. It's essentially a snap-on to your controller's thumbsticks, which lengthens them and makes small adjustments in aiming easier. Why is this necessary? IGN Gear says the first 20% of the range of motion is the hardest because of spring resistance, which makes small tweaks to aiming especially difficult.

LG KU990 Viewty Touchscreen Cellphone Can Now Record 640x480 DivX at 120FPS
Recording VGA-quality movies is nothing new, but DivX and LG just announced that the LG Viewty smartphone can now record VGA-quality movies at 120 frames per second with what looks like a software update (new ones will ship with it pre-loaded). Best of all, it records in the DivX format, which means you can watch it back on all kinds of DivX devices (your computer, various PMPs, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 for example). Besides recording at such a high rate, the phone can also take 5-megapixel stills, for the times when one picture says more than 120 of them. The Viewty is already available in Europe, and we got a hands-on with it last year. [Mobile Burn]

I have always been frustrated using a standard mouse when it comes to playing FPS on a PC. Granted, most of that is due to the fact that I suck—but I digress. Zalman's new FPSGun FG1000 is attempting to incorporate a more visceral experience into the popular FPS genre with a uniquely designed gun-like mouse. Maximum PC recently took the FPSGun for a spin, but the reality is that the device is far from perfect.

XFPS Mouse and Keyboard Adapter Now Available For PS3
The XFPS adapter that lets you plug in a USB or PS2 mouse and keyboard and map it to the appropriate commands on your PlayStation 3 controller is now available. This thing made sense when it was released for the Xbox 360 (which doesn't support a mouse and keyboard in ANY game), but why would you need it for the PS3? Because although there are loads of USB ports, only a handful of games (UT3, Resistance) let you actually use something else besides the standard controller to play. It also lets you plug in PlayStation 2 DualShocks. The only downside? It's $99. [TotalConsole]

75FPS Snowball Fight Filmed With Red One Video Camera Shows Snowy Decimation
WonderHowTo rented a Red One video camera (the camera that shoots 4K resolution footage), took 30 kids up into the mountains and shot some snowball fight footage. The result, shown here at just slightly lower resolution than the Red can support, still shows off how much their own Perez Hilton lookalike got pelted with snowballs. Hit the jump for a higher quality version that will murder your browser. More »

Casio's Exilim Cam Lets You Shoot 300 Frames Per Second, MythBusters-Style
Like you, I suffer from jealousy of Jamie and Adam's high-speed cams, so I'm all jazzed that a new Casio Exilim can pull off 300fps at VGA quality thanks to a new high-speed CMOS. More »

Sniper BB Gun: Taking Down the Varmints, One Bunny at a Time
Not that we recommend becoming an assassin or anything, but if you're looking for ultra-low-noise BB shooting with pinpoint accuracy, the UTG Model 700 FPS-325 Accurate Shot Competition Master Sniper airsoft gun is for you. It's a spring-loaded air gun that shoots .20g BBs, and it must be cocked every time you shoot it, but that can be done with just one finger. Its effective range is between 150 and 170 feet, perfect for some challenging target shooting. More »
