Avengers: Endgame brings together story threads that have been building and developing over the last 21 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. That’s a whole lot of stuff for the movie to wrap up–some 11 years’ worth–and it’s going to take a while (you can read our spoiler-free review to get a sense of the movie’s success). Endgame clocks in at three hours long, and while it’s a pretty brisk movie in terms of pacing, plenty of us will still need a bathroom break in the middle.

The trouble is finding the right time to abscond to the restroom. A lot happens in Endgame, with a great deal of setup taking place as the remaining Avengers prepare for a rematch with Thanos. Luckily, we’ve seen the movie and have identified a few moments where you’ll suffer the least story damage if you have to get up.

Now, be warned: We don’t actually recommend you head to the bathroom if you can avoid it. Endgame is super dense and there’s a lot of important stuff all over the place, and you’re going to miss some of it. But if you have to make a sacrifice, these are the times to do it. No spoilers!

Pee Break No. 1

Your first potential wee comes during about act 2, after the team returns to the Avengers compound. Again, we’re trying to stay as vague as possible here, but when you hear the phrase “Test no. 1” with the characters preparing to do a bunch of science stuff, you’re pretty safe. You’ll miss a couple of fun jokes, but nothing in this moment is essential to what happens afterward.

Pee Break No. 2

Sometime later in the second act, you’ll get another shot if you act quickly. This one comes when the Avengers start leaving for their “missions” that have been teased in the trailers. Watch for Nebula and co. reaching their destination in space; you’ll be able to slip away during some jokey discussions that don’t advance the plot beyond what you already know is happening. The same is true of Thor’s arrival at his destination in the same stretch.

Pee Break No. 3

If you’re really desperate, you can run for the bathroom during the final act, but this is when all the big action is starting to really pop off, as one might expect. Amidst the superhero antics, you’ll get a chance when things calm down for a moment. When you see a portal open followed by a…let’s say recognizable line from Captain America, you’ll be able to slip away during the ensuing action scene–but only if you really, really have to go. It’s a desperate time for a desperate measure.

The new video game World War Z is inspired in part by the 2013 Brad Pitt movie of the same name. Despite the film being about six years ago, the new game is selling very well. Developer Saber Interactive and publisher Focus Home Interactive announced today that the co-op shooter has reached more than 1 million copies sold in its first week since launching on April 16 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Saber CEO Matthew Karch said the studio is “humbled and thrilled” by the game’s “immense success.” He specifically called out the PC edition as doing especially well. Released as an Epic Store exclusive, the game sold 250,000 copies on PC alone and that success was due in part to the “tremendous support” Epic gave Saber, Karch said.

“Moving forward, we’ll continue to expand the game and its community with new improvements, stability updates, and bonus gameplay content, beginning very soon with a special new mission for the Tokyo episode,” Karch said.

World War Z runs on Saber’s own “Swarm Engine,” which is capable of rendering “hundreds” of zombies on screen at once. In the game you play as one of six difference classes in four-player co-op missions set in places like New York, Jerusalem, Moscow, and Tokyo. In addition to fighting against zombies, World War Z features multiplayer support for team-based PvP.

World War Z is a budget-priced game, coming in at $40 USD on PS4 and Xbox One, and $35 USD on PC. It’s only available digitally.

Mortal Kombat 11 released today for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and while standard editions for a big title like this usually sit at $60 for weeks before dropping, the PS4 version of NetherRealm’s new fighting game is already discounted at Amazon (even Anthem lasted five days before dropping in price).

Amazon’s algorithm works in mysterious ways, and it’s possible the site is price-matching a random deal somewhere else on the internet, but regardless of the reason, you might as well save yourself $5 if you were planning to pick up Mortal Kombat 11 for PS4 today. If you’re a Prime member, you’ll get free two-day shipping on this title as usual.

The game received an 8/10 in GameSpot’s Mortal Kombat 11 review. “MK11 isn’t just a sequel for series fans and Netherrealm devotees, it’s a gateway into the realm of fighting games for anyone who has a passing interest in watching ruthless warriors beat each other silly,” wrote Edmond Tran. “Streamlined mechanics keep the act of fighting furiously exciting no matter what your skill level, and comprehensive tutorials encourage you to dig into the nitty-gritty. There’s a diverse roster of interesting characters and playstyles, and the story mode is an entertaining romp.”
