Dream Cheeky & Microsoft Building a Better USB Missile Launcher
December 12th, 2007
For those of you that bought the original USB Missile Launcher, you know that it can be a blast to play with at the office. Unfortunately, with it being tethered to your PC via a cable, it left little doubt as to who was the culprit of the daily executions. Thankfully it's gotten a few upgrades! Now you can place the USB Wireless Missile Launcher all over the place, as long as it can get a signal, and fire them while blaming it on someone else. I wonder if you can set up multiple ones all over the place and control them individually. Maybe you want to have a little more fun at home, so they developed the USB MSN Missile Launcher (co-developed with Microsoft) as well. Now you can sit in your chair and via the detachable video camera let all your friends shoot missiles right in your eye. I think I'll get one of these for a friend and tell him the camera is to detect people coming in his room, not so I can shoot him at random intervals. Dream Cheeky doesn't appear to have the new launchers on their website but expect them there soon. Until they do, use the picture to hold you over. The MSN launcher is on top and the wireless version to the bottom. About Everything USB
