But for two Belgian beer fans, that&#8217;s simply not enough. Seems that they think you should be able to relieve yourself and shot aliens or slalom down ski slopes at the same time.
To that end, they designed and have recently released the &#8216;Place to Pee&#8217; video game. It&#8217;s set up in a booth and caters for two users at a time. Gamers (ie pee-ers) score by aiming and hitting sensors positioned on either side of the urinal.

<p>And ladies, if you think that it&#8217;s just a &#8216;man thing&#8217;, think again. Seems that they have created a paper cone allows women to play too. Lucky us!</p>
<p>Personally, I think these guys have more than one beer too many!!!</p>

The video game is Re-Mission and it features an intrepid nanobot called Roxxi who journeys through cancer patients bodies, destroying the cancer cells, fighting the infections, and dealing with the side effects usually associated with different cancers and cancer treatments.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fighting cancer is no game. But thanks to <a href="http://www.hopelab.org/">HopeLab</a>, there is a video game designed to help empower kids with cancer.</p>
<p>The video game is <a href="http://www.re-mission.net">Re-Mission</a> and it features an intrepid nanobot called Roxxi who journeys through cancer patients bodies, destroying the cancer cells, fighting the infections, and dealing with the side effects usually associated with different cancers and cancer treatments.</p>
<p>If you think it’s just another video game, think again. To ensure that Re-Mission was on track to help cancer suffers, a controlled research study was undertaken prior to the game&#8217;s release. 375 cancer patients between the ages of 13 and 29 from the United States, Australia, and Canada were recruited to test the games effectiveness.</p>
<p>Here are the <a href="http://www.hopelab.org/our-research/re-mission-outcomes-study/">results</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Re-Mission significantly enhanced self-efficacy, cancer-related knowledge, and treatment adherence in adolescents and young adults with cancer. Young people who played Re-Mission maintained higher blood levels of chemotherapy and showed higher rates of antibiotic utilization than those in the control group.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Re-Mission is available free of charge to young people with cancer. View the tralier and download it <a href="http://www.re-mission.net">here</a>.</p>
