This goes in the category of "What were they on when they made this game?" That doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, I think loading times would kind of kill the game anyway...

And Nintendo thought they had cornered the market on unique controller ideas.

I...I...Um...points for innovation, I...guess, but...morbid curiosity dictates that I ask if it lets you post your high score.

I am completely indifferent about this, but I have to ask whether or not local law enforcement is getting dumber or they have to much time on their hands.

Dude, i just ATE, man. XD

Wow, just wow.

Just from the Engadget coverage of the game, I was trying to reverse engineer the game play in my mind. What I came up with was this:

What I know:
The game plays on a screen at eye level above the urinal.
The game is a racing game.
The urinal has a pad in it that registers the "stream" of input.

What I theorize:
The steadier the stream on the pad the straighter the car drives on the track.
The more varied the stream, the more the car swerves and veers off its course.
The game then judges the motions of the car to determine what anti-drunk driving message to give the player (if he is not too drunk to comprehend it)

After considering this, I think the game is a great idea and should not have been given this ban.

For the inventors of french fires, the Belgians are rather humorless.

I think both were stupid: A game where you pee to play, and then a ban on a game where you pee to play.

It'd be interesting to keep you occupied if you get bored extremely quickly, but why on earth would there be a ban on it? Are they afraid the screen might be stolen, or (god forbid) the controllers? Who'd want a peed on pad? You'd literally have to CREATE the fetish for it to exist! Do they think people would be more tempted to crap on them? Seriously, what other problems could be posed? A dog eating the controller? (Dogs aren't allowed in restaurants, let alone the bathrooms) It's absolutely mind-boggling that there is some problem with this for it to be banned! Granted it's a stupid idea in the first place, but hey, let them do whatever the hell they want with their money!

Now there's a rare sight.

Seriously, I never thought I'd see this in a lifetime.

ummmmmmm. uhh..... hmmmmmmm...........

I got nothin either.

*twitch*

Wow. I... wow.

I got three letters to sum up this article: WTF?

My well thought out and appropriately formulated response:

BWUH?! O.o;;

I'll think I'll file this under "Stories so strange,they have to be true".

Urine my base killin my doodz.

Just too fucking funny for words.

Laugh.Out.Load.

Come on people is it any worse over the talking hot woman voice urinal cakes?


What this is is a way to grind in the message about Drinking and driving its a message that needs to be shocked into some, while this is more humorous or in slight bad taste the message out wighs any embarrassment(moralistic or otherwise) wrought.

Ther’es probably another reason why this game is banned.---

there's more to it for sure, there's no such thing as indecency in Europe, this is the sort of thing i would expect from the U.S not Belgium. we need more info...

@Mudclip.

My hunch is that the game could be perceived as making toilets as shitholes since the more people play it, the more people will "MISS the mark", if you know what I mean.

Heck, I know this game won't be popular in my country, Malaysia. Heck, our public toilets are pretty much rooms filled with radioactive wastes. Yes they're THAT bad. So bad, that our local politcal cartoonist made a joke about how America made a horror movie about them.

????....... thats all i got to say.

That would make public restrooms way more exciting.

I guess women would be annoyed because they can't play it...well, most women.

Unlike Dennis, I admit and amend mistakes.

@Scuzz McTuzz

Uhh7uh. Condescending toward gamers, a potshot at Dennis, again. Ok Thompson, you can stop pretending.

And if I am wrong I will accept a correction from Dennis himself at least.

Kurisu, It's a little thing called SARCASM.

Heck, look at the post about how he calls Games more harmful than drugs.

The real JT would NEVER say they're worse than drugs.

C'mon, the sarcasm is so thick you can cut it with a knife? Have we reached a point where sarcasm will label you as "in cahoots with JT"?

I think it is sadder that being in cohoots with Jack Thompson just HAS to be sarcasm. Me and Jack Thompson are this.

...You can't see it, but i'm making a hand gesture indicating just how close we are. There's nothing i can type to describe such a symbol

"…You can’t see it, but i’m making a hand gesture indicating just how close we are. There’s nothing i can type to describe such a symbol"

lol good one.

Jeez, why do they need to *ban* it? That just doesn't make sense to me, there must be more to it.

I thought about this all the time since I last posted.

there's really nothing to say about this. you really can't word this one out. we need a poet.

...but Manequin Pis is a national icon. WTF??

Like said before, there is no ban against the game itself, it was just banned to be displayed at the expo because the display was indecent.

[...] Piss Screen, of which we’ve spoken previously, has been shut down at a games show by Belgian police (a little while ago, yes, but news from the urinal gaming scene travels slowly). The game showed up for display at Belgium’s GamePower Expo, in Gent, but once there police believed the game to be “indecent” and had it removed. Despite the whole point of the thing being to discourage/prevent people from drink-driving. Ah well. Looks like it’s back to care-free games of “don’t cross the streams!” for the men of Belgium, then. Urinal game banned by killjoy Belgium police [Engadget, via GamePolitics] [...]

So what type of games did they make for the Ladies Restroom?
