Beer Pong Game Coming to Nintendo Wii

The Wii Game We’ve Been Waiting For

A new Beer Pong video game will be released in mid-June on Nintendo’s WiiWare platform. The game - in development by JV Games Inc. - will offer players the chance to play tournament-style in three classic beerpong venues (the garage, the basement, and the bar), as well as have a Speed Pong mode where players compete against each other to eliminate their cups first.

The game will allow 1-4 players to compete against each other in the same way that they would in real life. “We created a very accurate and realistic throw system. No buttons to time your throw with; just hold the Wii Remote™ like you would a normal ball and throw.” says JV Games VP Jag Jaeger.

The game is expected to be a huge hit with college students. Jaeger reports that the staff is already having a hard time keeping up with e-mail inquiries about the game. “People are anxious to get their hands on the game,” he says.

We’re one of the anxious ones. From the pictures, this looks like it is going to be a pretty legit game, but the degree to which the controls feel as natural as they claim will be the determinant.

Underage Drinking Could Lead to Loss of License

A new bill passed in Illinois states that any minor charged and convicted of underage drinking could lose their driver’s license for up to 3 months — without ever stepping foot near a car.

The bill, which was passed by the Illinois General Assembly in August 2007, went into effect on January 1st. Though the house and senate votes were close to unanimous, the new law is being met with much more disagreement by the public. People seem to agree that “drunk driving is wrong,” but find fault with punishing minors who are “just walking and not causing a ruckus or anything.” This, one 20 year old Monmouth College student feels, “shouldn’t be a big deal.”

Another Monmouth College student comments that there is in fact “an association between drinking and driving, but drinking doesn’t [imply] that you’re going to be drinking and driving… all [this law serves to do is] punish those who may or may not be drinking responsibly.”

Albert Algren, Warren County State Attorney, defends the new bill, stating that the new law is not supposed to be fair, but more of a way to get people’s attention and “a good way to get their attention is to take away their driving priviledges.”

The effectiveness of the law is still being questioned, and it is uncertain to what degree it will be enforced.

13 Year Old Steals Father’s Credit Card to Play Xbox with Hookers

Don’t try this at home:

When Ralph Hardy, age 13, ordered an extra credit card from his father’s card company, he did not hold back. The Newark, Texas native spent roughly $30,000 with his friends, their most expensive purchase being a couple of hookers and a cheap motel.

Hardy was discovered after having the motel desk clerk to deliver Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos, then asking him “where they could score some chicks [that they were] willing to pay.” They went further, elaborating that “they had just made a big score at a ‘World of Warcraft’ tournament and wanted to get some relaxation.” The concerned desk clerk alerted local authorities.

Upon entering the room, police found $3000 in cash, several electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console, and two local prostitutes. The prostitutes, who were released without charge, told the arresting officers that they became suspicious when the kids said that “they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.”

Hardy is said to have reported that his father probably won’t mind, as he had forgotten to buy him a birthday present the week before.
