We are lucky to live in an age where technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. This is clearly evident in video gaming, where awesome new breakthroughs have given us futuristic motion sensing devices and touch screens.
Back in the day, the earliest gamers got their jollies batting the PONG ball back and forth. The next generation was swept into the third dimension by the Virtual Boy. And the current generation is experiencing the hidden joys of intense exercise with Wii Fit.

Despite these technological breakthroughs, something was still missing. While the hardcore gamers of today waggled their Wiis with impunity, they were empty on the inside. They searched for the ultimate gaming experience, which could only be found in the filthy men's room of your local dive bar.

Thanks to the innovative team of Belgian engineers Werner Dupont and Bart Geraets, the dreams of untold numbers of gamers have finally come true. Earlier this year, Dupont and Geraets debuted Place to Pee, the world's first game that is not controlled by your Wii, but instead by your wee.

Place to Pee is not available for the PlayStation 3, XBox 360, or any other modern gaming console. Instead, this groundbreaking title is played on the urinals in your favorite local pub.

In Place to Pee, the player begins by selecting one of two available games, which include a ski race and a Space Invaders style shoot-em-up. Would-be whizzers begin the game by assuming the standard urinal position, and start the action by emptying their bladders. The gamer controls their character by peeing into the specially designed urinal, which sports motion detecting sensors all around the bowl. To maneuver your character left or right, simply shift your stream in the appropriate direction. There's even a multiplayer mode where gamers in neighboring stalls can compete to see who is Number One.

When Place to Pee was first introduced to the Belgian people, it garnered a lot of negative attention. Authorities, citing decency complaints, shut the Place to Pee parlors down. It looked as though gamers across the globe would never be able to experience the thrill of Slalom racing the guy two stalls over with your pants down.

Thankfully, our friends in Germany were ready to take the Belgians' baton and run with it. A group from Frankfurt called Saatchi & Saatchi devised a pee game of their own. To avoid confrontations with the law, the wily Germans packaged the game as tool to fight drink driving. The German urinal game, which is called the Piss Screen and features an auto race instead of a skiing contest, works just like the Belgian version. However, when the game is over, real footage of a car crash is shown on screen and telephone numbers for local taxi cabs are shown. Piss Screen's makers say that gamers will notice how bad their drunkenness has made them at virtual driving and will decide not to try the real thing.

Despite the best efforts of prudish conservatives and self titled decency guardians, it appears as though the pee-powered video game is here to stay. Here in America, we eagerly await the arrival of our very own urinal games and the stream of exciting games that would soon follow. In case any potential Pee Game designers are reading (you know who you are), we humbly suggest the following sure to be hit titles...

Burning Rangers: What better way to showcase the Pee Screen technology than with an update of this Sega Saturn classic. In the original Burning Rangers, the player controlled a team of futuristic fire fighters who put out blazing infernos. In our proposed Urinal based sequel, gamers can use their own natural talents to put out forest fires, instead of relying on a bulky Fire Hose peripheral for their Wiimotes.

Pissing of the Dead: Sega's zombie franchise has been everywhere and done everything. We've seen Typing of the Dead, Pinball of the Dead, and even English of the Dead. The only way that Sega can pump some life into the rotting Of the Dead franchise is to harness the innovation of the urinal game.

Cho Aniki: If ever there was a franchise that was made for the porcelain screen, Japan's favorite bodybuilding adventure series would be it. Masaya's hit series of scrolling shooter games, featuring the heroic musclemen Samson and Adon, was a treasure trove of bizarre phallic imagery that would not seem out of place in the mens room.

The gameplay mechanics of Cho Aniki are simple, just maneuver your half naked oily man up and down and try not to get blasted by the hordes of evil half naked oily men. Nothing would have to be changed in order to port these title over to the Piss Screen.

However we would suggest using caution if you ever come across a Urinal based Cho Aniki game. It might be a little difficult to do your business if this guy is staring at you while you pee...
