Now You Can Play Video Games with Your Pee

Video-game-urinals-in-london

Reading magazines and newspapers in the toilet is about to get some competition as a favorite restroom activity now that there's a new way to play video games.

A British company, Captive Media, has designed video games installed at restroom urinals that men control with their stream of urine, the BBC reports.

Men relieving their bladders can aim at different sensors placed in the urinal to control the outcome of the game.
There are three games to choose from: a skiing simulation, a trivia quiz with multiple choices, and a knock-down-the-penguins shooting gallery.

This (pee-deo) game is the brainchild of Gordon MacSween and Mark Melford, the owners of the game’s maker, Captive Media who thought they should give customers something more interesting to aim at. Gents can control the games – with names like Clever Dick and On The Piste – simply by moving their stream left and right.

The average trip to the men's room lasts 55 seconds in Britain, giving just enough time for a short advertisement before and after a round of the video game.

The console was tested in Cambridge before being released at a London pub. The makers will open the floodgates to other bars and clubs in the next few months, Sky News says.

Why stare at a blank tiled wall in front of a urinal when you can play a video game with your pee?
