Wii Beer Pong
This weekend only, a Wii/Duff 6-pack bundle?
Somewhere in the dark recesses of disbarment, Jack Thompson's blood must be boiling. And he's not the only one. Video game censorship advocates nationwide have caught onto, what they class as a "disturbing" new video game for the world's most popular next generation video game system, the Nintendo Wii.
Certainly, the system has developed a reputation as appealing to all ages -- be they young or old -- but is known to be especially warmly received by the youngsters (and their parents).
That same Wii is now home to a curious new title that takes advantage of the Wii's motion sensing controls to offer up a time-honored competitive tradition that you won't be seeing in a Wii Sports pack anytime soon -- beer pong.
Beer pong, also known as beirut, lob pong, or many other names is a wildly popular college drinking game. It involves making a triangle of filled beer cups on each side of the table. Each team then takes terms bouncing ping pong balls at the other team’s cups. If the ball goes in, the other team has to chug the cup of beer. The winning team is the first to eliminate the others cups. The losing team has to chug the winners' remaining cups.
Wikipedia describes the necessary assets of a successful beer ponger as having a knack for aiming, taunting, and sexual gestures.

Re: Wii Beer Pong
Why would anyone want to "simulate" beer pong?

Re: Wii Beer Pong
They could also just simulate drinking the beer.
Take that, Jacko!
Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.
Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.

Re: Wii Beer Pong
I have seen terrible, terrible things happen in the name of beer pong. Can they accurately simulate using the same 20 cups for an entire semester? Do you shake the wiimote to remove the crust from around the lip?
I'll only play if you can fully customize your BeerPong Bro.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Re: Wii Beer Pong
Will the controls get less precise with every round you lose?

I tend to get better as the game progresses. This likely has more to do with me "finding my grove," than the effects of increasing levels of intoxication.

Yeah, but that's good sanitary college fun when compared to the people you live with, the place you live in, the crap you eat, the things you eat off, the place you sleep, and the people you sleep with.

Re: Wii Beer Pong
And I always remember that game as "Beirut." Beer Pong was actually played like ping pong, on a ping pong table, where you tried to hit cups or sink a ball in a cup.

Re: Wii Beer Pong
Bah. REAL Beer pong is played with paddles. Beirut has nothing to do with ping pong, aside from the fact that it uses a ping pong ball.
