You can’t portray it with a screencap, but the there is a section to do with toilets in FEAR2 in the hospital that I found very amusing, I can’t say more without giving it away.

You think a real stalker needs a toilet?

It might be on the Wii but how can no one mention the fact that the loo features in No More Heroes when the character regularly drops a log upon returning home from a long day of assassinating to save the game?

Necro post, I’ll admit, but I have to add some games to the list:

They Hunger mod for HL1 – One of the old fasioned wooden shack crapping holes has a guy who has jumped into the hole (lifted the top off and somehow put it back down).

And also Tunguska the secret files had a sequence in toilets where a military train couldn’t leave the station because the guard had dropped the appropriate document/item/key/whatever (I forget) down the toilet and was now crapping himself because there were really vicious russian agents who’d probably beat the crap out of him for a delay on the train journey.

I’m pretty sure you could walk into the bathroom on the train in the syberia series (Also adventure gamey), but don’t think you were able to get the character to ‘do the business’.

Probably the most thorough implementation of a toilet I’ve seen in a game was definitely in the text adventure Corruption by Magnetic Scrolls. In addition to its normal function, you could open the cistern to find a plastic bag of cocaine hidden there.

There is a level in Metal Gear Solid that involves a pair of guards, one of whom has a bladder the size of a thimble. He must also have a fondness for Super Big Gulps because he runs to the bathroom all the time.

If you’re stealthy enough you can actually attach a remote mine to his back while he’s at the urinal, only the minute you detonate it a dozen guards appear and make a beeline directly to you…

So a typical gaming session involved doing the remote mine thing and then setting up a dozen claymore mines to deal with the incoming bad guys. Good times.

The toilet in Portal is probably the most polite one in gaming. “Your business is appreciated.”

The Jet Set Willy toilet proved to be not only my first toilet encounter, but part of my first gaming encounter. I was five, my parents had just set up the C64 which had been out of action (presumed dead) since I was born, after I had been amazed by the BBC Micros at school. Their attempts to be educational with Hangman failed when the game failed to load, and instead I was introduced to Jet Set Willy. I still recall seeing the toilet (Not to mention the one on the cassette case) and, being five, being fairly amused.

I have to add the toilets in Hitman: Blood Money. I’ve noticed the cubicles in the toilets don’t seem to have doors, or if they do it would be physically impossible to close them while in the cubicle. I’d hate to walk in on someone taking matenrity leave (dropping the kids off(having a poo)) with no door to hide them.

This does suggest a whole new rating scheme: StT (Start to Toilet).

I sense a Doom fan! RPS should do The Hidden Truth Of The Gaming Crate next.

Maybe it’s banal to point out that the GLaDOS’ first lines (while you are looking at the toilet) include: “Your specimen has been processed.”

And, I must vote that of all the drivel that’s been written, ranted or drooled about Bioshock, Rob’s comment in this thread wins, and he doesn’t even mention the game:

Déus Ex deserves an honourable mention since it presented you first with a moral dilemma – do you go in the smelly gents or do you sneak in to the ladies’ – and then graphically showed you the repercussions of your choice (Manderly has a go at you for being a bit of a perv).

Complete with a superfluous sharp accent. Bravo. Caution explosive decompression of masturbatory rhetoric.
