Video Games are bad for my relationship

Well, not really. But FI and I get super into playing Super Mario on the Wii. You can play two players at once and you're supposed to work together but it ends up being a bunch of yelling and swearing at the other person because they made you die. It's quite fun =) Does anyone else get really competitive with their SO playing games/sports/etc?

  • BF and I play carnival games and mario for the wii - we are super competitive
  • FI and I played some game called Army of Two. We beat the whole game together haha. It was fun because it was a co-op game.

  • Bf won't play games with me anymore :( we are both VERY competitive and I just happen to be much better at games than he is so he won't play lol. Yahtzee is my absolute favorite game and he doesn't understand the strategy to it so he refuses to play. We have a sega racing game for the ps3 that we play together, it gets competitive, but not nearly as bad as board games do!
  • Haha. Yeah, I almost think we shouldn't play games together because we're both so hard headed and competitive =)

  • We played Kirby's Epic Yarn because he could be Prince Fluff and save my ass whenever I died. I suck at video games.

    FI and I love to play Co-Op games together. We refer to Left 4 Dead (and Left 4 Dead 2) as our "stress relief", lol. People hear us say we're going into the bedroom for stress relief and they automatically assume we're having sex. Not the case, lol.

    We've beaten both of those together, as well as Dead Island and Portal 2.

    Co-Op is the only way we play with each other, as there's really not any competitive games that we play.
  • BF and I play Little Big Planet (and LBP2) together. It sometimes ends not well. I suck at video games and he gets in my way and I end up dying. Plus he'll like grab me and smack me with a frying pan (me, as in my character in the game, not me IRL) at the worst times. It kinda pisses me off. 

    Sometimes he'll watch me play Skyrim and he'll try making suggestions while I'm trying to do stuff, which sometimes pisses me off because I was trying to do it my own way, or the thing he suggests doesn't work and something bad happens. Like today I was playing and I had a pony in the game, which died like 3 times so he was all like "oh do this, do that then do this and your pony won't get killed" I had already come up with a strategy, but figured he knew better. So I followed his advice and sure enough, my pony got killed AGAIN. Then when I went and tried what I had planned, the pony lived.
