Why does it hurt when I play this game?

Place to pee: new Belgian urinal-based video game
By Michael Thompson | Published: May 20, 2008 - 10:05AM CT

As if peeing into a urinal wasn't fun enough already, it's now possible to play video games while doing so. Two men in Belgium (the home of the world's greatest beers) have unveiled Place to Pee, a video game that relies on players hitting sensors in urinals to control game play.

Werner Dupont and Bart Geraets (a software and electrical engineer, respectively), the game's developers and self-labeled beer fans, created the Place to Pee games to be playable for two bathroom visitors at time. According to Dupont and Geraets, the idea for the game came to them while they were drinking some Belgian trappist ale, a time when most breakthroughs of genius take place.

The two different modes feature a ski race that has players compete against each other on a virtual slalom course and a space battle where you fire on hostile aliens. Despite the fact that players are required to relieve themselves into a urinal in order to actually play, women are capable of competing in the game, as well: apparently, female players can get in on the action by utilizing a specially-designed paper cone.

While these games are recent creations, they seem to be a part of the same franchise that was shut down by Belgian gendarmes this past summer due to claims of indecency.

Neat idea but I don't think the paper cone thing is gonna catch on.

Hell Atlantic would see this installed in the urinal, puzzle on it a bit, then realize it's part of an insidious plan to encourage drunk jerks to not miss the facilities, so as to make the custodians' job easier.

Then he'd take a shit in the sink.

So now I have to take a friend to the bathroom with me? It's going to suck when I have to ask a stranger to come pee with me even more though....

Good question.

A urinal with a view and a video game for me and my friends to spend the day at would be the ultimate reason to drink more beer to keep peeing.

Best of all worlds! Three taps of your favorite beers, right above the urinal.
