Tired of awkwardly looking at the wall while you use the public urinal? It’s 2011 … that’s wasted time that could be used with technology! So Sega has fixed all that with its new invention, The Toylet. It will allow restroom users to “play four mini-games controlled by their own urine.” Ha. Now I don’t have to go outside in the snow. From AOL News:
The sensor sends that information to a screen above the porcelain urinal, where users can keep real-time tabs on their bathroom performance.
The games are pretty straightforward:
- “Manneken Pis” calculates exactly how much a player peed.
- In “Graffiti Eraser,” players try to urinate forcefully to blast graffiti off a wall.
- In “The North Wind and Her,” gamers act as the wind, attempting to lift a woman’s dress with powerful blasts.
- In “Milk From Nose,” players go head to head with the previous urinal user to see who has the strongest flow. The gamers appear as sumo wrestlers who squirt milk from their noses to push their peers out of the ring.
And the best part:
Gamers who are proud of their performance will reportedly be able to download their high scores onto a flash drive.
I don’t want to know how that’s accomplished.
Right now the games are scheduled to be installed only in four Tokyo-area metro station restrooms. But if successful, Sega plans to expand; they say they plan to make big bucks by showing commercials between games.
That’s a lot of time at the urinal, and frankly, way too much pressure. Although these guys are probably looking forward to it.
