Belgian beer fans unveil urinal video game

Belgian beer fans unveil urinal video game
Mon May 19, 2008 12:40pm BST

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Two Belgian beer fans have launched a video game named 'Place to pee', which allows players to slalom down ski slopes or kill aliens while relieving themselves at urinals.

Werner Dupont, a software developer, and Bart Geraets, an electrical engineer, got the idea while drinking Belgian trappist beers, they told Reuters Television at a local festival on Sunday.

"This thing had to be invented by Belgian people and that's what we are," they said.

The 'Place to pee' booth is designed for two users at a time and offers two games -- blowing up aliens in outer space or skiing down a virtual slope. Gamers hit their target by aiming at sensors positioned on either side of the urinal.

A specially designed paper cone allows women to play too, the inventors say.

Their 'Place to pee' logo resembles 'Manneken Pis', the little urinating boy fountain that is among Brussels' top sightseeing attractions.

I used to throw a ping-pong ball in the toilet, when I threw parties. It kept people from pissing on the floor as they tried to "sink" the ball. When they flushed, the ball wouldn't flush down. Worked like a charm.

Dude, that's ingenious. (Especially if the ball centered itself after each flush).

If we ever happen to play ping pong, though, remind me to let you serve. ^_^

And what if you happen to play beer pong?

:lol2: The balls come three to a pack. Only one goes in the toilet. I'll let you guess which one of the three. :devilgrin:

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
What a great idea. Frank's pingpong ball, that is.

The Belgian thing? It kind of reminds me of how we used to play Sink The Swiss Navy - it was on paper and you drew a grid and guessed X/Y coordinates for shots. Then they came out with Battleship, the electronic game. All it did differently was make sounds. This whizzer game is about the same. I used to play game slike that all the time as a kid - sink the cigarette butt submarine, etc.
