Halloween Bubble Fogger Delivers Targeted Strikes of Fog-Filled Bubbles to Your Eyes

Jack Loftus — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 10:00:00 EDT

Halloween fog machines? Been there, inhaled that. Bubble machines? Still pretty cool, soap in the eye or not. But what if humanity had created a machine that combined the venerable fog machine with bubbles? Interest piqued? Consider it done!

According to the Bubble Fogger's Amazon listing, this marvelous contraption creates fog solution-filled bubbles and casts them out into the Halloween kitsch-filled ether that is your home in October. When the bubbles pop, most likely in your eyes or on stain prone furniture, they become fog. The kit includes both the bubble and fog solution, and will set you back $40. As far as over-priced, short-lived Halloween crap goes, that's kind of a bargain. [Amazon via Random Good Stuff]

Smoke Turret Will Make You King of the Party (Through Force if Necessary)

Mark Wilson — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:20:00 EDT

Quite simply, the Smoke Turret is the most dangerous-looking fog machine on the market. Five feet tall and swiveling 180-degrees on its tripod base, the turret's six barrels utilize a 90psi air compressor to fire smoke for up to 15 feet. On top of that, a strobe light is concealed in the gun sight for a little extra firepower to get the party started. Still, what's the $2,400 Smoke Turret do that a normal fog machine can't? It makes you look like a total badass, that's what. [Fright Catalog via Nerd Approved]

More Details on the Rock Band Stage Kit

Mark Wilson — Tue, 27 May 2008 10:10:00 EDT

If the latest update over at Gamestop is correct, we have new details on Rock Band's upcoming stage kit, an easy way to bring real lights and fog to your otherwise fake performances. (Hey, I'm not bashing it. 99.9% of the population has failed at their dreams of rock stardom, including those who actually play instruments.)

The new kit is said to be released August 15th of this year and cost $100. And at this time it's available for pre-order now on the Xbox 360, but not listed as a PS3 option (which may or may not mean something). That said, we're still holding out for Rock Band's next, most promising simulation peripheral—the groupie kit. [Gamestop via Kotaku]

Gin and Tonic Fog Will Get You Drunk, I Think

Adam Frucci — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:30:27 EST

Like being drunk but hate drinking? Well, why drink? At the GAT FOG exhibition that took place way back in 2004 (we just found out about it, OK?), there was a contraption set up in a big room that pumped out Gin and Tonic fog. Yes, seriously. This insanely dangerous sounding experience was "art," apparently. Would inhaling gin fog get you drunk? Would inhaling tonic fog give you lung cancer? Would you leave completely sticky and smelling like a hobo? I'm not sure, and I don't think I want to find out. [Marti Guixe via NotCot]

Glowing, Foggy Ice Bowl

How much is a bowl that holds ice cubes, five bucks? How much is that same bowl, but with blue LEDs and fog effects? Apparently, it's $60.

If you really need to have your ice be 2000 Flushes blue, or love fog, this is for you. For the other 6.6 billion people in the world, sorry for wasting your time.
