Line 67:
* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in Michael Stackpole's ''X-Wing: The Bacta War'' [[Star Wars]] Extended Universe novel, in which a character notices a stormtrooper coming out of the bathroom and wonders how they can possibly...
** It's worth nothing that the incredibly detailed diagrams of the Millenum Falcon have no bathroom. Although, one could potentially handwave it away by having Firefly-style toilets.
* This is especially obvious in ''[[Dan Brown]]'' novels like ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]'' and ''[[Angels
Line 111:
* In ''[[Betrayal at Krondor]]'' and its sequels, sleep and food are important concerns for the party on the go.
* ''[[Breath of Fire]] II'' had toilets in most homes, though the characters never seemed to need to use them, aside from diving into them during ''two'' game events (with an honorable mention going to a lift that performs double duty as a toilet). They could also barge into occupied bathrooms, which would invariably piss off the occupant.
* In [[Brave Fencer Musashi]], you have a tiredness percentage that will increase the longer you go without rest. As your tiredness increases, your movements and attacks will slow, and eventually, if you hit 100%, you will fall asleep where you stand, even if in the middle of combat! You can restore your tiredness fully by sleeping at the inn or in your room, but if you're out in the wilderness you can find a safe spot to lie down and sleep to gradually restore your tiredness, up to 50%. Tiredness can also be reduced by certain consumable items, and sleeping outside is a good way to get to [[In
* Averted to an extent in ''[[Bully (video game)|Bully]]''. Protagonist Jimmy Hopkins must sleep every night, and if he isn't in bed by 2 AM, he'll collapse from exhaustion. ''Bully'' also has both toilets and urinals, and while Jimmy doesn't actually need to use them, the game does keep track of how many times you've used each.
* ''[[Chibi-Robo!]]'' takes place inside a [[Mouse World|normal family's house from a small robot's perspective.]] While the house contains a number of well-outfitted and detailed rooms, ''none'' of these rooms is a bathroom.
Line 167:
*** Considering the game takes place over the course of a few hours, tops, it's probable that he just ''holds it in''. Adrenaline can do that, ya know. Also, the notable time period where he ''is'' required to waste a lot of time (assumed to be three or four hours, maybe more), he's being ''tortured'', which tends to have the unfortunate side effect of loss of bladder control...
** However, even though Snake never has to use the bathroom, there is an easter egg in ''Metal Gear Solid 2'' where Raiden uses the urinal. Don't believe me? Watch Part 13 of MGC's LP of the game right [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_OUfieR98U here.]
** Lets not forget that a huge portion of the gameplay of ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'' is finding and eating various things, though he still never has to relieve himself...Well, then again, Naked Snake does wet himself upon being electrocuted in the torture scene...
*** It's implied that he does that whenever you save, along with sleeping.
* In the same vein of space suits that seem to possess extraordinary bladder-emptying technology, the Master Chief in ''Halo'' never seems to need the bathroom, or food.
