That's quite a sad topic title, isn't it?
Anyway, my wife and I decided to play some Perfect Dark last night, in co-op mode. Somehow we've reached mission 3, Chicago, despite sucking most mightily at games in this genre.
It took us around 4 goes to complete the first part of the level, because one of us would either shoot an innocent person, or we'd wander into the wrong area, and they'd shut off the lift.
When we did do the level, it took 15 minutes. Anyone that's played it will know it's relatively simple!
This is the kind of thing that would happen:
Me: I'm going to get the reprogrammer from under there. Make sure nobody shoots me.
Lisa: Okay
Later....
Me: Is that you?
Lisa: What?
Me: Arrgh, no! Why is that person shooting at me?
Lisa: Oh sorry, I was looking at this water. Come and look at me so I can see what it looks like!
So I go over there, and we play in the storm drain for a bit!
On other such occasions I got shot at because I was pouring more wine, which lead to my death, and a handfull of popcorn meant I was making all of the enemies find me, as I wasn't hiding. D'oh!
On the next level we were possibly worse.
There's a bit where you have to crawl along up above everyone. Lisa was following me, then fell off, causing mission failure. She couldn't help at, as she was laughing at the way my characters bum moved when crawling.
We also notice that when in the crawling position your head can disappear through walls, so we would pretend that we had our heads stuck in doors.
We suck, but was it ever fun.
Ben and Lisa Dark. Disavowed.

When playing in those sorts of situations, it doesn't matter how much you suck at a game, so long as you're not so bad at it that you get sick of it.
Half the time when I'm playing Smash Brothers, it's not so much win as tease and humiliate my brothers by dodging their moves and pulling off annoying attacks on them.
I love multiplayer gaming! :-)

My bird will play SSX but I have to let her win, without her knowing.
The trick is in the not letting her know bit.

I think, the worst thing you can do in a game is play co-operative with someone who is, let's say somewhat inadequate at the game, because no matter how good you are, you'll always find they let you down and you'll end up failing.

Yeah, must be.
The last time I played that game, I had the cow.
Stupid cow doesn't learn too fast, so stupid cow got set on fire.
A lot.
Now stupid cow too scared to leave his pen, eat or take a dump in case he gets a whupping.
Or lightning.

That sounds like my girl's only foray into computer games, Black & White.
She gets the tiger (we'll call it Kitty).
It does it's thing, with incredulous looks from me along with "It's a tiger, it eats meat."
"Not kitty, he eats grain"
"Tiger. Meat. See those fangs? Not for grain."
"Well my tiger eats grain"
So I take my computer back home with me after the weekend, and the next time she gets to play with kitty, he has mysteriously changed into a 13ft carnivore with massive claws and a hunch.
Strangely Kitty now has a penchant for villagers and throwing cows into the sea.
Funny that.
