"小便電玩遊戲"

看看這個遊戲本身，遊戲的概念看似過時又簡單──穿著滑雪板衝下山丘，設法擊中企鵝來獲得分數。差別在於這個由英國公司創意媒體所研發的遊戲，是特別設計成要在男廁裡玩的。這個遊戲利用裝在小便斗裡的感應器，偵測小便流動方向。用小便擊中目標，也就是螢幕上的企鵝，就能獲得分數獎勵。由於這些遊戲機主要裝在運動場內，人們甚至可以從場內的數位電子看板上驕傲地觀看自己的優異成績。

對話範例：

(廁所電玩) 莎曼珊和克莉絲汀是同事，正利用午餐休息時間上網。莎曼珊讀到小便電玩的介紹，和克莉絲汀聊起這件事。讓我們來聽聽他們的對話。

莎曼珊：我真不敢相信。有家英國公司發明了一款在廁所裡玩的遊戲，用小便來控制。他們接下來還會想到什麼點子啊？

克莉絲汀：我不是很喜歡科技這樣無孔不入地入侵我們的日常生活。現在我們連上個廁所都擺脫不了科技。

莎曼珊：這樣有什麼不好？又不是說大家不會把手機和平板電腦帶進廁所。

克莉絲汀：我只是覺得做事要看時間跟場合。我前幾天晚上跟我男朋友吃晚餐，他一直玩手機遊戲玩個不停。

莎曼珊：你能想像如果那間餐廳也有廁所電玩的話會是什麼狀況嗎？

克莉絲汀：他一定會喝很多水，然後幾乎整晚都待在廁所裡。

莎曼珊：如果是那樣，我想問題是出在妳男朋友身上，而不是科技。

克莉絲汀：妳說的沒錯。或許我該甩了他，另外找個喜歡真人女友勝過遊戲的男人。

(Technology) Pee-to-Play Video Game

Looking at the game itself, the concept of the game appears outdated and simple V race down a hill on your skis and hit as many penguins as you can to earn points. The difference is that this game, created by British company Creative Media, is specially designed to be played in the mens restroom. The game uses sensors placed in the urinal to detect the direction of urine flow. By hitting targets, that appear as penguins on the screen, with your pee, points will then be awarded to you. As these gaming units will be primarily placed in sports arenas, people can even proudly view their high scores on digital boards in the stadium.

Dialogue Example:

(Bathroom Video Game) Samantha and Christine are co-workers who are spending their lunch break surfing the internet. Samantha reads about the pee-to-play video game and talks to Christine about it. Lets listen to their conversation.

Samantha: I cant believe it. A British company created a game to be played in the bathroom, using ones urine to control the game. What will they think of next?

Christine: Im not really thrilled about how technology has invaded every part of our daily lives. Now, we cant even be free of it in the bathroom.

Samantha: Whats wrong with that? Its not like people dont bring their phones and tablet computers to the bathroom with them.

Christine: I just feel like there should be a place and time for everything. I was having dinner with my boyfriend the other night and he wouldnt stop playing games on his phone.

Samantha: Can you imagine what would have happened if the bathroom video game was available at that restaurant

Christine: He would have drunk a lot of water and spent most of the night in the bathroom.

Samantha: In that case, I would think the problem is with your boyfriend and not with technology.

Christine: You are right. Maybe I should dump him and find someone else who would prefer a live girlfriend over a game.
