New Urinal-Based Video Game Makes a Splash

Those who enjoy drinking beer, playing video games, and (oddly enough) peeing in urinals may be able to reach true nirvana after all. "Place to Pee" is a new video game that relies on a player's ability to hit sensors in a urinal to control game play. While this may seem extremely male-centric, don't worry, ladies, the game designers have thought of you too, and have designed a specialized paper cone for participation. Man, it's a bad day to be a janitor.

You have to give the people what they want

Personally, I love it when I go to a bar and they have ice cubes in the bottom of the urinal ... and I defy any man here (especially after a few beers) to resist the urge to strategically and enthusiastically pee all over the ice cubes, melting them individually, melting them in groups, moving over to despoil a fresh zone ... it's tremendously good fun.

Slash - dot

I had to laugh. For the benefit of those not fully familiar with English (probably originally Irish) slang, "to have a slash" means to take a pee. Thus, it is quite appropriate that a game that involves peeing to hit a target should appear on Slashdot.

This is new?

I recall a shockwave flash game made in the late 90s called the Urinal game. The objective was to determine which urinal was the "correct" one to use. You could even select an occupied one, just to see what happens. It was quite amusing for its time.

Talking about shit there should be a game that weighs a persons shit and there should be some sort of top score system on the door.

Seen this a long time ago

Seriously, years ago I saw a graduate project at Parsons School of Design in their Design & Technology [parsons.edu] department that was a video game in a urinal, sort of like the space aliens version mentioned in this article. For the public exhibit, they put out squirt guns so that men could play the game without being obscene, and women could play as well. I am pretty sure it was just water in the squirt guns....

I'd for years thought to try to come up with some form fitting funnel with a hose attached to it they could use.

It exists: the P-Mate [plastuit.nl]. I still have one somewhere.
