I've tried but my girl is pretty awful and I get annoyed having to constantly tell her how to do stuff.
Gaming with your S/O

My girl doesn't game and I'm glad she doesn't. I can't imagine sharing my consoles, or having to buy another one for that matter. She's tried playing games like Borderlands 2, but she just can't get around the controls.
My wife and I met in highschool over our love of video games (I first noticed her one day in the halls wearing an SNK shirt and became instantly fascinated in her).
A large part of our time together is spent playing video games, especially fighting games and shooters.
The most fun we've had this generation has been bro-oping Borderlands 1+2, where she has my back with sniper fire while I run in like a soldier-dolt and shoot rockets and turretfriends.
There was also a time when we played WoW (at launch) and she would be the tank and I would supply healing support.
It's pretty much the best thing ever when we can find games where we get to work together because our complementary dynamic really gets to shine.

she thinks its a waste of time (for her) because its not fun for her.
she'd rather do her own thing...
i understand, but you got me wrong - she doesn't think they're terrible. just boring and merit-less.
We do it all the time because we're both gamers since a young age. He's pretty good. We have our different strengths and styles though. As for what we play. Anything and everything. Neither of us are that competitive though, so we don't often play versus each other, even at LANs. I just don't like chopping my partner's head off in Chivalry. Well sometimes I do, but mostly not, lol.
She's right 100% to be quite honest. However, it's a habit I can't drop..

i rationalize and continue to play for the storyline
i can;t wait untill gaming develops to a point where it becomes like film or books.I managed to convince my GF to play stuff like Limbo and Thomas was alone, she never does any gaming so something that involves moving both thumbsticks is tricky, it usually ends up with her shooting the air or spinning around :L
I'll get there!
EDIT: I forgot, the 3DS I recently got has had more use from her than me, mainly due to the easier controls and simpler games I guess

Yes. That was exactly it. How perceptive of you.

What the fuck is an "S/O" ?
Serious Other (unless I am completely wrong and we are talking about Squeamish Ostrich's)
Same, but then I remember that relationships are expensive.

Don't you mean "significant other" ?

Me and my girl play 3DS together. Mario kart gets played a lot.
Mario golf is going to be the next one, then Animal Crossing.
She stole my OOT3D and is playing it all the time.
She loves Zelda

My wife plays only a few specific games but the most surprising one she loved to death was Red Dead Revolver, usually she is more into Jak & Daxter/Psychonauts type games but she loved RDR and craves a sequel.
Usually though if I play a game she will read on the couch and we will talk about it periodically (Bioshock Infinite was the last one).
EDIT: Oh and she loved the PS2 SSX games.

We Battlefield together. It all started with her watching me play Warhawk, she put quite a few hours into that game as well as Resistance 1. We then moved onto KZ2 together, bought two copies of KZ3 and were both very put off by it.
The only bad thing about this is that we now have to own two of everything. Hopefully PS4 is under $450 because we'll probably be taking turns for a few months.

My girlfriend is borderline addicted to Call of Duty. She also loves loot-based games, so once Diablo 3 comes out for PS3 (we have a shit-laptop)... I'm afraid of losing her forever. (Please don't turn this into a "Don't worry Diablo 3 sucks" thread)
Unfortunately we pretty much like totally different games. I'm not a huge fan of most FPS games, and pretty much all she plays is Call of Duty and Borderlands (with a little LittleBigPlanet sprinkled in). We can't really play anything else because she's so competitive she gets mad if I'm better than her at anything else (and, I am, at anything that's not a FPS). Pretty much the only thing we both play and like is Pokemon, but that's not exactly multiplayer, and she won't ever battle me, haha.

I wonder what watching TV and reading a book merit.
