A Scatological Version of The Oregon Trail

Many folks were introduced to computer games by playing The Oregon Trail in the 1970s or '80s. Even if you weren't, you know the game ended when you died of dysentery. Life as a pioneer was hard. But did you really learn anything about dysentery? Dysentery can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, but the illness is defined by severe diarrhea. Most people recover, and those who die of dysentery are actually dying of dehydration. Ingesting plenty of fluids will get you through it.   

Woe Industries has remade the game to reflect this reality. You Have Not Died of Dysentery is an alternate version of The Oregon Trail in which you suffer from dysentery, but do not die. Instead, you have to constantly deal with diarrhea as you make your way across the Great Plains with your family. How much toilet paper should you take? How many times can you cause the wagon train to stop before they abandon you? And how do you keep your pants clean? This game may be too real for some folks, as the aim of finding a new home takes a backseat to just finding a place to poop. -via Kottke
