The latest in Wii technology: video game urinals
The Telegraph ^ | 11-25-11

Posted on 11/26/2011 3:31:33 PM PST by DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis

Visitors at the The Exhibit Bar in Balham can play one of three games every time they use a urinal.

The video game has been trialled in a bar in Cambridge since mid-July and it has proved to be both popular and profitable.

One of the game's co-founders, Gordon MacSween, was not sure how the public would react to the game initially. But as soon he saw the game on trial at a bar in Cambridge he knew he was on to something good.

The game was designed to create a valuable media opportunity from the 55 seconds the average male spends while he pees just staring at a blank wall.

There is an advert played before and after the game promoting a drink you can buy at the bar.

At the end of the game, players are encouraged to post their scores via mobile to Twitter and to a live leader board so they can compete with their friends.

I hope they are also recommended to wash their hands.

That looks like fun. But for me, nothing will replace the “Jane Fonda Tinkle-Time Target.”

Don’t you have to purchase the optional Wii-Wii pad for this to work?

Maybe Wii could fix it up in their next game so the old P. stream acts as a machine gun traversing a hillside of advancing jawa terrorists, like in those WW2 video games. Really put the hose to the bastards. Automatic scoring, most terrorists hosed by one ‘shooter’ total each evening wins a case of beer! Unlimited trips to the can would be allowed. Drink up gunners!!!
