GameDaily has the right idea, suggests games to play on the crapper photo

We here at Destructoid are huge advocates of playing games on the toilet. The Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable have revolutionized the fine Art of S**t Taking, replacing magazines and newspapers as the entertainment of choice after a particularly hearty meal. Hey, it beats reading the usage instructions on a shampoo bottle over and over again, right? (Don't act like you've never done it.)

GameDaily's Chris Buffa has compiled a decent (and helpful) list, entitled "Games to Play on the Toilet." This "serious business" piece of gaming journalism includes the likes of Tetris DS, Puzzle Quest, and WipeOut Pure (it has the word "wipe" in it; you can't go wrong). Buffa even suggests the mental challenges of Brain Age to help you squeeze one out, or getting a bit creative with Ubisoft's Jam Sessions

Notice any glaring ommissions, or do you have any particularly thoughtful additions? Personally, I'd suggest Guitar Hero III on the Xbox 360. Sure, my wife wasn't thrilled when I dragged our LCD television out of the living room and into the bathroom. But what better place to practice "Through the Fire and Flames" with limited interruptions?

If it didn't smell so bad when I pooped, I wouldn't mind playing some games while on the toilet.

Shouldn't somebody be making a joke about bricks and alien toilets?

Anyway, after some healty greenage, game playing on the toilet is a blast.

How ever, if you stay for too long, you'll get hemrrhoids, which is when your butt goes inside out.

Listen to your butt hole.

I'm not going to bullshit. I bring my PSP into the bathroom. When I get into a game, I usually stay in the crapper until my numb legs tell me it's time to get up.

I read anything I can on the toilet. The lamest things seem like the most fascinating thing when you're on the toilet. Oh look an ant walking on the wall, wonder where it's going. should i kill it? no what for, be pointless. Oh look at this toilet paper. I wonder how it's bad. oh look another one of them spears girls is pregnant

I think Super Mario Land 1 and 2 got more playing time in my bathroom than they did any other time.

At one point, I had a small TV and my Dreamcast in my bathroom so I could play PSO while doing my business. Good times.

I remember playing SNK Vs Capcom: Card Fighter's Clash along with every other NGPC puzzle game on the can years ago. I remember I played through a 40 minute battle on Faselei and nearly tripped because my legs fell asleep. Also had some good times with GBA games on the can, Harmony of Dissonance and Super Dodgeball were some standouts.

since I don't take smoke breaks at work I like to think I'm entitled to a little PSP break on the john, and some games are definitely better than others for the bathroom at work. They should load fast, have an efficient menu interface, and a quicksave.
Either that or just be stupid and easy to pick up and put down.
Like Luxor, which I praised for it's p00pability here: http://resignedgamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/luxor-is-for-pooping_25.html

The best feeling is when I'm going poop and winning online matches against people on Planet Puzzle League.
