MIT Creates Urine-Controlled Video Game
cscx writes "Well, they've done it again. The boys at MIT have designed a video game that's playable by doing your business at a urinal . The game resembles "Duck Hunt" from the Nintendo days, except instead of the Zapper gun, the game is controlled by your stream hitting a multitude of sensors placed on the back wall of the urinal. Weird? Yes. Still cool? You bet." The accompanying document (PDF link, here's an HTML version from Google) explains how this game could lead to improved sanitation, since you won't want to miss, and may even increase personal hydration, since getting rid of all that water is now so much fun.
I seriously think this game is just taking the piss...

The FlyUI already does this over in Europe, just without all the high-tech crap.
Video games are always being marketed to boys, but this takes that gender-preference a little far, don't you think?

Peeball!
Basically, it's who can dissolve the ball of dodgy chemicals int the fastest time/most stylish way. I'm a Master Blaster :)
Finaly people will stop looking at the urinal I'm using!
Now we just need to get these sensors working in toilets. Every time I drop a deuce, I'd use the Redeemer in UT2003, or bomb the unsuspecting enemy camp in Battlefield 1942.

I think "Dick Hunt" is a catchy name that is far less ambiguous than "You're In Control".
Some of the slogans this can use:
"We aim to please, you aim too, please!"
"The fingers that pick the cigarette butts out of the urnal also flip your burgers."
However, I hope they don't start accepting advertising on this system:
"Hey guys - want high score? ENLARGE YOUR THING!"
"You could aim higher if you got OUR GENUINE V*AGRA!"

I can just see some guy getting addicted to this game:
"No, sweetheart, we can't leave... I HAVE to go to the bathroom again. Get me a pitcher!"
No, it just creates a new market for accessories.
It's just another pissing contest.

It's old. The more humans I meet, the more I like my cats. At least they are honest.
At least it's not a swordfight game.
One word: "Battleship!"
This is typical sexism at MIT. How are women supposed to play this game??
One future, two choices. Oppose them or let them destroy us.

Defending IP by destroying access to it? That makes sense, RIAA/MPAA. Go to the corner until you can play nice!
