Out of all current entertainment systems, I anticipate that this one will provide the most fluid gameplay.

Although it may be hard to top Zin5ki hilarious comment, only Japan would come up with such a out of box idea like this.

You have to wonder though, what genre does this game even go into though?

I'm just weirded out by the "3272 ml" score on the initial screenshot, before you see who's setting it.

For anyone who's seen the first Scary Movie, they should already know the scene that this reminds me of. I don't think the writers could've ever imagined one of their own gags become seriously manifest.

Only in Japan, man. Only in Japan.... Laughing

The sad thing is, that's not all that bad of an idea. People are all about micro-management and playing games on the go nowadays. I could definitely see this taking off in sports bars or casinos.

This will be a hit at frat houses and bars.

"Yo, dude, get me another round! I gotta beat the high score!"

I do kinda feel bad for Toylet.net now, though. As if their name wasn't funny enough...

Well, really this is just taking an existing idea and going much futher and making it better. There had been actual research done that indicated when there was a sticker or something to aim at in the urinal, there were much fewer misses. If you're playing a game, I'd imagine there will be even less! Unless the current high score holder is standing by you and purposely knocks you out of the way so you don't beat his score...

That already violates one of the man rules, but I think we'd have to make another to prevent any other kind of disruption while attempting to piss off the score leader.

I think there needs to a meeting.

"Toilet humor"

How much ya wanna bet that people will cheat? Gamers always cheat! Laughing

This'll probably end up full of graffiti though.

I can't wait for the Poop Game - but South Park already made fun of that. Laughing

Japan wasn't the first with a urinal game:
