When men use a public urinal they are cruelly left in full view, with nothing to do as they answer nature's call.
Until now.
British company Captive Media thinks it has developed a product that fills a gap in the market - a urinal mounted, urine-controlled games console for men.
It calls it the first "hands-free" video gaming console of its kind.
The sturdy device sits above the normal oval ceramic urinal bowl, opening up a whole new world of entertainment.
The user is presented with three generous targets to aim for in the urinal: stickers in the unit that read "Start", "Left" and "Right".
The console is able to detect where the urine is falling by means of an infra-red device.
And so a rudimentary "joystick" is set up.[/quote]

When I was little, my mom called it "aim for the cheerios".
This is pretty useless, to be honest.
Urinating doesn't even take that long to actually play a quick game of anything, nor is it enough time to actually get bored enough to want to play a game in the first place.

Eh? Obviously your mother has problems if she eats urine-sodden cheerios out of a toilet bowl
soon we will be a toilet bound species anyway. let's face it, humanity is circling down the drain.

I was thinking the same...
I mean, the only people who take awhile to have a pee are old people, and they can't aim their piss properly in the first place, let alone play video games
A full actual video game isn't worth it at all.
Those little football/soccer things, though, are pretty cool.
Didn't Sega do this in Japan ages ago?
Skiing challenge? No space invaders? Or a game that you piss out the fire
inb4 users get distracted and piss on themselves/ the floor.

the posts in this thread are more of a pissing contest than the actual game
I don't know how this could be a good idea at all. Considering that most people want to get out of public rest rooms as fast as possible.
I'm surprised they chose games instead of advertisements to shove in your face at the urinal.
It's a great way to piss away money, I'll tell ya.
Unless you're old and pee in bursts or/and have kidney stones you won't be there too long. Waste of money why not apply the money for something the population wants and can really benefit them?
What's wrong with whistling?
Will there be any multiplayer games?
If you really have pee problems and it takes you hours you might aswell bring a handheld and sit on the toilet. And no one as far as I know spends time in public bathrooms.

Ghostbusters the urinal game: Don't cross the streams
I already have enough fun playing with my willy as is, this is just taking the piss.
I'm surprised this didn't come from Japan.

It did. It was already there like 2 years ago
R. Kelly once tried getting rid of his urinal boredom. That didn't go too well.
I don't even piss in the urinal, most guys in my town don't either. Everybody hits the stalls. Even the girls know it, one told me today that the only reason some men use the urinals is because they want to "advertise" or want another guy to see their junk---since we don't even have fucking dividers.
I just wish public washrooms had privacy. Washrooms in homes are like private areas, but apparently every where else it's everyone's business what everyone does in there.
I just love how this doesn't solve the issue of privacy that the article mentioned first. It actually exacerbates it.
They need to put games like this inside the bathroom stalls, that would be more handy. At the urinal, I spend maybe 30 seconds? Sometimes more, usually less. In a bathroom stall, it can take anywhere from a few mere minutes to as much as 20 depending on the bowel movement.

Real men don't use dividers. Our school has bathrooms near the football field, and in it, the urinals literally look like wide bowls that everyone just circles around and pisses into. It's really creepy actually.

Speaking of which, this is pretty much what it looks like.
