Piss Screen: Urine Controlled Game!

August 09, 2007 in News comments 21

Have you ever had the sudden urge to play a video game, but then you drank too much and need to take a leak? Well here's your chance to do both at once. It's called the Piss Screen. It was recently put into a Frankfurt bar to test people if they could drive before going home. So what you do is aim at the pressure controlled buttons to drive your car. Could this be the best or worst invention ever?

Created in response to what looks like a marketing brief - encourage people to take taxis after a few bevvies, rather than risk driving themselves - this peripheral is really thinking outside the box. Aiming to reach the target audience "in a fresh and impactful way", the Piss Screen enables urinal users to enjoy a Need for Speed style racing game by splashing their waters against pressure sensitive control pads. Although exactly how "fresh" it would be at 2am on a Sunday morning is barely worth considering.

      Sure they can, it just takes some creative positioning

    Well, I certainly don't want to play this game. My mom already yells at me if I miss, lol, I don't need a game to tell me I have bad aim...

    I'd have to say this is pretty cool. Yet a little awkward and gross when you think about it. Nevertheless, I'd be cool to try out and install one in my house.

    This is one of the funniest articles I think I have ever read! What a crazy idea, I would LOVE to be able to go into the toilets and play a game with your aim whilst taking a piss, would be amusing.

    Also there are some good benefits of this, the end scene ending with a big crash if your reflexes were too slow really is a brilliant way of making drunk people understand the dangers they may be taking later on when they drive home.

    This thing is pretty good, especially if you've waited a few days without taking a piss.

      Dood, you could be dead if you held it in that long >_>

      Piss is a way of clearing out toxins from the body...not to mention, your bladder could easily burst...someone actually has died by not pissing when he had to (medival, he didn't want to appear rude)...

    This could only work in bars where people have long flows. If it was just in malls, then the game could last as short as ten seconds for little kids.

    People can just walk to the bathroom, what's next? Something that feeds us and gives us a bath as well? And then we can sleep on it?

    People need to move around, what's the point in learning how to walk?

    Wouldn't want to be the guy that had to clean that...especially if a lot of people had bad aim...

    And you can have bad aim, and still be totally sober...its called "having crappy aim"...

    That's nasty because nobody washes their hands after they go, and then they touch the controller and sweat their germs on it. ew, I'd never use of these things.

    It's target market will be half of that of a normal console. Seems like a waste of good money for a small problem, which it doesn't even clear up properly.

    Who would want to go through the hassle of cleaning it? There's a reason why there's a pause button.

    Also, something tells me liquid and electronics don't go good together lol.

    On people will just croud up and play it, 2 I would not like to touch the controles last at night after alot of "pissers" have been in there.. and 3 I would agree that it is one of the worst inventions.
