Announcing the 2023 Bucket Brigadier of the Year!

Gaming Thrones consists of an army of shitter hunters who flood my notifications with exquisite screenshots and among many, one has stood out this year as the most eagle-eyed of all - Rockin T, who submitted so many shitters I couldn’t even post them all in 2023. There are currently 8 of Rockin T’s shitter snaps up on this blog, and many more that are still waiting to be revealed. Please enjoy this interview of our 2023 Brigadier, as she grants us insight into her ways and means:

“A pic of my dog Blizzard Snowball McFluffyface (Blizzy for short), using my Skyrim pillow and chilling next to my spider plushie Charlie! The pillow has the quote “Hey, you. You’re finally awake” which is really funny to see when you wake up in the morning.”

What were some of the best games you played in 2023?

“I loved Jedi: Survivor and Outer Worlds! Jedi: Survivor really expanded beyond the scope of the first game. I had a lot of fun changing up Cal’s appearance (#LongHairCalForLife), getting to know Skoova Stev, and customizing my lightsaber! Outer Worlds was also so so fun as someone who loves Fallout: New Vegas. I love Parvati with my whole entire heart. Also, shout-out to honorable mentions Yakuza 4 and the Resident Evil 3/4 REmakes. OH AND Life Makeover! It’s a dress-up/mystery game that I’ve played every day for months that I like a lot.”

What games are you playing right now?

“I’m technically in the middle of Ocarina of Time, the Ace Attorney trilogy, Yakuza: Dead Souls, Separate Ways (REmake 4), Outer Worlds (the DLCs), Sonic and the Secret Rings, and Balder’s Gate 3. I bounce between consoles that I have at school and at home, so I’m a bit all over the place!”

How do you feel about being the Bucket Brigadier of 2023?

“It’s an honor! I told my brother and he had me repeat myself about 5 times trying to figure out if I was saying actual words. I had never given much thought to toilets/bathrooms in video games before, but now I get excited when I find one! It’s like a scavenger hunt and I’ve got my eyes PEELED. It’s especially exciting when some kind of encounter happens IN the bathroom.”

Thank you, Rockin T for all you do to enhance and enrich the diversity of our shitter compendium. You have a winner’s mindset when it comes to Shitter Safari. Rockin T worked really hard for this award, and she deserves it. In honor of Rockin T’s commitment to Gaming Thrones, $25 will be donated to the sanitation charity of our choice in 2024. Please look forward to the Blue Bowl Awards, coming soon!

Flooded District shitter!

If you go exploring in the Flooded District you’ll find it, well, flooded. Yeah, pretty amazing, right? They could turn this into an attraction with gondolas or body surfing but no. There’s just remnants of a crumbled civilization down there… and this is no place for a shitter! This is Empress Emily Kaldwin’s legacy!

Questionable Upgrade shitter!

Are we sure this is an improvement? Certainly the bathtub, but this washroom in Aramis Stilton’s renovated mansion has only an outrageously opulent bathtub, complete with Roman edifice, while the shitter (a humble chamberpot) has been replaced with NOTHING. Now, ordinarily this would be inexcusable, however, the upgraded Stilton mansion has four separate new bathrooms, some with multiple shitters!

Waning Moon Tavern shitter!

Amid the chasms and megaflora swallowing up an entire city lies the quaint and loot-laden Waning Moon Tavern. It used to be a watering hole for jolly, plump, rosy-cheeked lads but for the last century it’s been fucked sideways by evil. Reithwin was the quintessential medieval stopover, all Dutch Tudor homes n’ stone byways n’ shit, but now it’s been shadow-cursed up the ass. I think it’s safe to say there’s not enough infrastructure-boosting bipartisan funding in the universe that’ll put it back in order. What’s now a splintering barfbag saloon has ONE potty stall with a CORPSE in it. The shitter is always your final friend!
The outhouse was a great choice for a place to kick the ol’ bucket but when the angels descend, they descend not for thee! The shitter is the only sinless, blameless, perfect little lamb that has been through a LOT and is ready to be assumed into heaven both body and soul.

From one of the greatest minds behind Skyrim, Fallout, and Marvel Anatomy…

comes a big adventure comic about a little skeleton!

I recently had the opportunity to chat with Jonah Lobe, an artist whose visionary work has delighted and mesmerized over 115 million people worldwide. Jonah has gifted our human race with the endearing and unforgettable, such as the Skyrim giants and the masks of the Dragon Priests, as well as the terrifying and UNFORGIVABLE, like the deathclaws and bloodbugs of Fallout 4. This time, Jonah is leaning toward the charming and inspiring in his new project Quiet: Level One. In the words of the artist, this project is “an epic fantasy about a mute little skeleton who must defeat a rampaging barbarian before he can cut down the Tree of Worlds. The story is cute, whimsical, scary and fun.” Check out the link in the image source to get a peek at the project, and of course give him a follow on Quiet Level One Instagram, to get the latest updates.

Covenant shitter!

Yoo-hoo, sweetie! Down here and pressed all the way up against the concrete barricade is a shitter who does not want to be seen with Covenant’s anti-synth tomfuckery. She is ready to scale this wall with her lunchpail and the town’s most valuable item, KNOWLEDGE, which is buried within a single Overdue Book. She is ready to be OUT of this mental prison! Once you take over this town and kick out (read: kill) the Fascist squatters, you can decorate this alley and make it look really nice back there for this shitter. She has been through a lot and deserves some beauty.

Greenbriar Bunker shitter!

For like two hundred years or some shit this radio signal has been broadcasting for two oldsters camped in the safety of a bunker but who couldn’t leave because of the creatures. They died down here (see second image) but thank hell they had this shitter to maintain order during this terrible ordeal. Here’s the question, Brigade - Is this a prison shitter? Is that shitter a Wilson? Perchance a little of both.

Oaf’s Hovel shitter!

After your wife kicks you out and 100% blames you for a tragedy that was actually due to both of your combined failures (as well as the magic of a telepathic clown), you’ll go live in a shanty in the worst part of Murder City that is already disgustingly filthy and you will NEVER clean it.

Even so, Oaf’s hovel has TWO bathrooms, which is very, very swanky for this level of visual depression. The first confined nook is dirty as hell, he’s got newspapers in there for some fucking reason. The one that HAS a sink, as well as both a bathtub AND shower, is so dark and he doesn’t even bother turning on the light so I had to maximize the brightness and colors just so you can see his LOL brand flip phone. Maybe this particular detail, for once, is not the Oaf’s fault, I mean if you look the bathroom has several light switches and no visible light fixtures. So who knows what they’re for. Maybe they turn the shower on. The shitter is so mortified to be witnessed as present in this dreadful abode, but it’s a true friend that will stick by your side even when you’re at rock fucking bottom. Given this Oaf’s track record, I’m thinking that’s probably a box of rat poison on his sink. Well, good thing Shaun (aka, ‘the other one’) is only stuck here one day a week.

Momo’s shitter!

Momo is a robo bigshot who is like Stray Doc Emmett Brown in a granny’s shirtdress. He’s kind of a mechanical genius, though doesn’t know where any of his friends are. He’s quite cynical until the Cat shows up to give him new hope again. Momo gets brave before the end, his death is very tragic and I don’t want to talk about it. Meanwhile, this is his shitter, where he stacks cartons of Men’s Socks.

Image 2 is a sad little note from Momo and a reminder to always appreciate and say “thank you” to your microwave.

The Many Bowls of Alan Wake 2!

Bucket Brigadier ILikeSocks submitted this incredible series from Alan Wake 2 with the following commentary:

Cabin shitter: “Theres a sink in there as well, it’s just kinda a weird angle cause the house was mostly pitch black. IDK where to even start; I never finished Alan Wake 1. I played it after playing CONTROL and its gameplay was about as fun as shitting glass. But the premise is you’re a horror/thriller writer (basically Stephen King) and there’s a lake that has the ability to rewrite reality when artists create fiction there. Theres the dark place in the lake that is trying to escape and it takes Alan’s wife hostage. He ends up trapped in the dark place and it slightly adjust events in reality while trying to get him to write its freedom. That’s where the second game takes place. And it’s all tied into CONTROL where this is just another case file for the FBC.

Sheriff Station shitter: A single bare bar of soap that you know won’t lather just from looking at it and TP that looks like the texture of cardboard. High contrast between the utterly filthy sink and pristine toilet.

Creepy Coffee-Themed Park shitters: I knew you’d like this. Out of order when they don’t flush. I REALLY like this universe tho. Alan Wake 2 is my new girlfriend now.

Doctor, I don’t know what I am Anymore shitter: You have a case of shitterformia. You will slowly turn into a shitter.

Video: “I cant tell if there’s a shitter back there.”

This exemplary lineup of five stellar shitters represents a $25 donation to the World Toilet organization!! ILikeSocks, our 2022 bucket brigadier, remains a figurehead in our community, always on high alert for that glint of porcelain.
