LGR - Three Weird Mice #4: Viagra, Bullets, & The 4th Dimension
Added 2022-08-31 21:39:00 +0000 UTCBack again with another weird mouse video! And of course the selection is a bunch of nonsense, from a Pfizer product, to a dual-wheeled '4D' mouse, to a piece of ammunition that very much requires plugging in. Downright silliness.
As usual with these, it's a bit of a filler video while I work on more involved projects. Or in this case, while I prepare to get outta town! Next week I'll be driving up from NC to Elmhurst, Illinois, as I'll be exhibiting at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest on the weekend of September 10-11. It's gonna be one heckuva lineup of YouTubers, vintage vendors, and generally awesome tech folks, just check out this list: vcfmw.org/ex.html
I may have a donations unboxing video or something equally laid-back prepared to go up next week while I'm gone, but we'll see. I haven't actually gotten that made yet, and I'm not sure if I should spend my time on that or simply continue working on the larger videos that I have in the pipeline. I mean, either way I need to unbox all the stuff that's shown up since I've moved... eh we'll see how the rest of this week goes after I've finished preparing my machines and things for display at VCFMW. Oh and merch and signage, almost forgot I have more merch and signage. Fun times.
Have a nice week and I hope you enjoy these stupid mice β and I hope to see some of you at the show, too!

Kept thinking that the Viagra mouse should have had the same design as the bullet mouse, especially when you look at the bullet mouse logo - and it could have come bundled with Leisure Suit Larry or something...

2022-09-08 14:30:22 +0000 UTCYou could say the Viagra mouse gets "erect" when using since its popping up from that slant on the design

2022-09-07 04:09:06 +0000 UTCFor a mouse that came out in 2002, I found it interesting it was still a PS/2 connector and came with a 3.5" floppy disk, but perhaps they were still trying to market it for the Win98 crowd. Or the actual hardware might have been some other older stock mouse with a new chassis?

2022-09-03 16:38:32 +0000 UTCThere is something just hilarious to me that the viagra mouse has such a short cord π

2022-09-01 21:52:34 +0000 UTCI don't remember seeing many mice with two scroll wheels. I'm more familiar with scrollwheels that you push/tilt left or right for horizontal scrolling. Did those arrive later or was it a competing technology? π€

2022-09-01 21:20:06 +0000 UTC㪠Hoo boy that intro ramble for the Viagra mouse is sure to drum up some Engagement, especially from international viewers, though maybe more the kind that you turn notifications off for and never look at again. :V Even if it is weird as hell and very much noooot great Still. Impressive dedication to the pun game though.

2022-09-01 09:28:33 +0000 UTCWell... Being hard is very important, but Viagra didn't forget the importance of lube either!

2022-09-01 01:26:29 +0000 UTCHe's 63 years old and despite being retired, maintains his enthusiasm for two things which figured prominently in the latter half of his career: weight training and rap. When he was inducted into NASCAR's hall of fame, Gucci Mane tweeted to personally congratulate him. He's generally thought to be the most accomplished driver of NASCAR's modern era without a championship, he finished runner up 5 times in the course of close to 20 years- the drivers who won those championships over him have a combined total 21 among them.
