In case some of you hadn’t noticed I have been gone for the last couple of weeks traveling. I spent a couple of weeks in Germany watching futbol (soccer for those of you in America) and drinking tasty beer, it is a hard job, but some one had to do it.
So that meant no video games for me for the last two weeks except for my trusty DS and The World Ends With You, that game continues to grow on me the more I play it. Unfortunatley I learned a quick lesson, the power charger on the DS is not rated to European electricity, so once my DS died it was dead.
After being in Germany and watching a lot of futbol, since the European Champions League is happening right now, I really feel like picking up a copy of a good soccer game, perhaps the newest FIFA or Winning Eleven Seven. Futbol is huge in Europe and is a lot of fun to watch with a beer in one hand a soccer hooligan screaming around you.
Now that I am back in the swing of things it is time to get to the news and business of games to make our readers smile.
Well do you often take a whiz and wonder what you could be doing to make that experience more fun? Well look no further, peeing is now a video game. That’s right, take a tinkle and compete against a buddy to kill aliens or ski down a mountain.
The Place to Pee’ booth is designed for two users at a time and offers two games - blowing up aliens in outer space or skiing down a virtual slope.
Gamers hit their target by aiming at sensors positioned on either side of the urinal.
A specially designed paper cone allows women to play too, the inventors say.
Leave it to two Belgian beer fans to develop a peeing game and name it “Place to Pee”, this is straight out of Beerfest. The two gentlemen Werner Dupont, a software developer and Bart Geraets, an electrical engineer, got the idea while drinking beers and having a strong urge to pee.
We told you we would get some thoughts form the current Guinness World Record holder for fastest time through the first 5 stages of Tapper and we deliver. Look into the mind of man consumed by everything Tapper related.
Loot Ninja: Tell us a bit about yourself and how long you have been gaming.
Michael P.: I’m 25, and I’m from the middle of nowhere in western PA. I moved to NYC about 7 months ago, and I’m currently a graphic designer at a web marketing company in Brooklyn. I’m still trying to figure out what I really want to do though. I’ve been gaming for about as long as I can remember. Although my dad has long since stopped gaming, he is the one that got me started with ColecoVision. I can remember playing that obsessively until around 1990 when we got an NES. My favorite games for Coleco are Jumpman Junior, The Heist, Oil’s Well and Squish’em Sam. After SNES, I stopped playing the new ones so much. Every once in awhile though, I get really into a new game. I’m really into drumming in Rock Band right now. I love Mario Kart 64, and my favorite game ever might be Amplitude. I also like the color blue. Read More »
Have you ever wanted to grab a Guiness World Record? Or even better a World record that may be video game related? Well now is your fucking chance! If you happen to be in the New York City area tomorrow, more specifically in Brooklyn, Guiness World Records is hosting a competition to coincide with the release of it’s inaugural Gamers’ Edition.
Here are the five events:
• Fastest Time to Beat Five Boards on Ms. Pac Man
• Fastest Time to Beat Five Boards on Tapper
• Highest Out-Run Score
• Highest Ghosts ‘n Goblins Score
• Highest Donkey Kong Score Without Using the Hammer
The event is going to be held at a bar called Barcade at 7:30 pm Thursday, April 10, and the exact location is 388 Union Ave., Brooklyn, NY.
If you are in the area drop on by and tell ‘em Loot-Ninja sent you, we will have someone there checking it out. In a worst case scenario and it turns out being lame the place is a bar and you can grab a beer. Leave a comment if your stopping by, but we will have some coverage of this event for you afterwards.
I have to tell you that there is an utter and constant lack of nudity in video games. Why can’t I play a mature rated game and see some gratuitous breasts walk by? The first major game to incorporate any kind of mature content was God of War with the mini game where you had sex and got extra Red orbs. GTA tried to have it incorporated into their games, but was reduced to calling a hooker over to your car and driving to a shaded area where the car just jumped up and down.
Since majority of the video game players of the world are over 18, putting in some sex or just random nudity shouldn’t be a problem. Don’t we have a fully robust ESRB system where games are clearly marked as Mature or Adult only? I can see people just coming out of the woodworks to complain that there is nudity in a game and that a child might be able to see some tits before his nuts have dropped, but again isn’t that why games are rated? What other purpose do the small letters in the corner of games boxes serve? Read More »
OK Nintendo now you have gone too far. The casual gamer has taken over and urinating has become a full fledged sport. Why McLovin Why?!
Check out this movie of Super Pii Pii Brothers in action. I find it funny how they chose a girl to play the game, I guess making a guy put on the harness would be all kinds of wrong, although the shot where she turns around and you get the front view is a bit scary.
After the jump you can see some shots of the product. Read More »

The Simpsons game has caught quite a beating wherever you check, but we will give you the lowdown on your fine-feathered Yellow family. Okay they aren’t feathered, but read on anyway.
Presentation and Graphics: Each level starts and ends with a Simpsons cut-scene that looks amazing in HD. The game itself for the most part looks pretty good and sticks with the cartoonish style of Springfield. The odd part is that at times during the stages the cutscenes change to a horrid almost sketch like style, which makes the family look like their first season artistic style. The game is bright and the environments are good looking, but there isn’t much to put in here other than it looks like the Simpsons. 3 out of 5
I am drinking Hoegaarden. A white Belgian ale. It is good. Luckily there are no umlauts in the name, for I do not know how to type them. Anyways.
Sega’s and AM2’s fighting series Virtua Fighter debuted in the summer of 1993 and was hailed as the first 3-D fighting game in the world. At the time the combination of graphic prowess and a cast of eight playable characters had arcade patrons running around with fist fulls of quarters like maniacs.
Fourteen years later Sega and AM2 release Virtua Fighter 5. The game now boasts a cast of fifteen characters and a variety of online modes. Hazzah!
