We all use it, sometimes even multiple times a day. Which is probably the reason we have such a soft place in our hearts for holes in the ground where human waste passes through. In fact there are even a couple of days every year where we all bow down and worship our porcelain friends. From Wikipedia: The Japan Toilet Association celebrates an unofficial Toilet Day on November 10, because in Japan the numbers 11/10 (for the month and the day) can be read as ii-to(ire), which also means "Good Toilet". So, there you go. Enjoy our fab 18 and make sure you come back on November 19 for World Toilet Day, where we'll be unveiling two more awesome butt thrones!

Realism factor: 5/10
How good are the toilets in this game? Even the zombies chose one as its final place of rest. Just make sure you find one, you know, not occupied by scissor-handed life forms or nurses with disfigured faces.

If you haven't heard yet, Gears of War 2 finally makes its way to stores at midnight tonight. Above you'll find a sneak peek at a SciFi Channel special airing tonight at 11 PM EST. The show, "Sci vs. Fi: Gears of War 2," focuses on the game's developers, celebrities, and Luke Walton (sorry dude, you're still "Bill Walton's kid" around the offices) talking about what goes into making a bigger, badder sequel, including developing the "meat cube." If you need a reminder on how good it is before buying the game tonight, check out our review or trying winning your way into the war against the Locust Horde. Till then, watch the sizable clip above.

The Skinny: The Webhead returns for his 85th installment in Activision’s easy-money franchise when an outbreak of alien symbiosis engineered by Venom threatens to engulf New York City. Playing back-up is an array of Marvel characters including Black Cat, Wolverine, and Luke Cage.

The Good: Our review is so late because it took this long just to get to the story. For some, that’s plodding. For us, it’s immersion. After a protracted but rewarding period of training and low-level crime busting, the pace gets increasingly frenetic, yielding explosive boss battles and hero team-ups that shame the often mindless, infuriatingly repetitive motions of the previous movie tie-in. Improvements have been made to the swinging and combat systems, allowing for more varied, linkable attacks which double in number when you switch between black and red costumes. There are plenty of gimmes for dorks and die-hards of the series, but lots of action for people who just want to punch shit.

The Bad: See above. If you’re not into deliberate plot development, you’ll spend several hours waiting for the game to start. It helps to come into the game a fan of the character and/or the game franchise. Spider-Man 3 (the game and the movie) didn’t help matters.

Get Ready to Dig into Your Old Comics Box: Freed from obligatory nods to the movie series, WoS is loaded with jokes and references to the comic book continuity, including in-battle trivia that can affect your dealings with other characters in the game.

Buy, Rent, or Disembowel? Activision has always done justice to Spidey’s abilities, so if you’re a fan of the character and the mechanics with which he’s been portrayed over the years, buy the shit out of it.

Among the daily angry e-mails I usually get were people who wanted to get their hands on our totally awesome Gears of War 2 press kit. Sorry, buddy. That one's staying with me. However, we've put together something even better for you: a Gears of War 2 prize package giveaway. One lucky grand prize winner will be taking home a special edition Gears branded Zune MP3 player (pictured above). Not enough? Fine, you'll also get a limited edition copy of the game, which includes the game, an extra bonus disc with cool behind-the-scenes videos, and a special book about the different environments and people you'll see in the game.

And, because we're nice people, we'll also be giving out four runner-up prizes: a copy of Gears of War 2, and a limited edition art book called "Beneath the Surface: An Inside Look at Gears of War 2." Sound good, now? We thought so. By now, you should know how it works, but for my own edification, I'll repeat the rules. Try beating our caption for the photo below by entering your own caption in the comments section. We'll run it past our editors and once we conduct a thorough background check and find you an upstanding citizen, we'll grant you your prize. (Not really how it works. We just pick the best captions.) Be funny, be snarky, be all that you can be. Just be. Good luck!
