    Nintendo Wii "Beer Pong" game causes stir

    LOL

    JV Games has cleaned up its new Nintendo Wii version of the college drinking game "Beer Pong" by removing references to booze and renaming the title, but authorities and mental health experts fear that it will only reinforce an alcohol culture on teens.

    In the Wii Nintendo game "Pong Toss," developed by JV Games, the player scores a point after tossing a ping pong ball into the opponent's cup.
    (Courtesy JV Games)"Pong Toss," as its now called, still gives gamers the ability to practice the tossing skills required for Beer Pong, a popular drinking game involving ping pong balls aimed into cups of beer. Beer-guzzling is the goal of the real Beer Pong game in many college settings.

    This game has been played at carnies since I was like 7. Just because some college kids decided to get clever and make a drinking game out of it, it doesn't make it automatically evil. Good grief people

    Yes, but those carnies are just good people trying to make a buck. There were never there to take advantage of someone.

    How to promote shitty shovelware on a shoestring budget.

    1) Give it a title that makes it a huge target for 'family values' watchdog groups
    2) Wait for said groups to bitch about said game on the national media
    3) Collect your revenues as the free publicity sells your awful game for you.

Queue sort of works for your usage, but 'cue' indicates signaling or prompting of some kind, which is, as you indicated, what this line of discussion will invoke toward guartz to cause him to come forth with a rant. It stems from the notes in screenplays that are/were marked simply with the letter q, short for quando, or 'when', used to indicate particular events that should happen at given points along the dialog.
