My kids finally got me to try a game that isn't 10 years old

For the longest time I only played older couch co-op games. Left 4 Dead 2, the original Halo trilogy, old Mario stuff. Figured if it worked then it still works now. But my son and daughter kept pestering me to play Overcooked 2 with them. I finally gave in last Saturday night and we went through 4 hours of it. The chaos of that game is something else. We were yelling at each other over who grabbed the tomatoes. Reminded me of the old days playing split-screen Halo but way more stressful in a good way. Has anyone else had a recent game surprise them after sticking to the classics for a long time?

My kids finally got me to try a game that isn't 10 years old

My game night controller died mid-boss fight and taught me a lesson

Appreciation post: Overcooked 2 actually fixed our game night

That time I realized I was hogging the screen in co-op games for years

Spent 45 minutes trying to split-screen Halo with my brother last night

My brother laughed at me for buying a $5 roll of painter's tape for our Halo split-screen sessions, but after we used it to mark our spots on the floor so nobody blocked the TV, he admitted it was the best couch co-op hack I ever came up with.

The time I realized I was griefing my own co-op sessions by being a loot hog

My brother insisted we play Heave Ho with 4 players and it turned into pure chaos real fast

Hit 100 hours in Ultimate Chicken Horse last night with my buddy

I used to think Overcooked 2 was the ultimate couch co-op game until my brother brought over Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime last weekend and now I think chaos without the timer is way better

My brother's one comment about our co-op session changed how I pick games

Vent: That one Saturday when the internet went out and nobody had backups

Spent 45 minutes trying to fix a controller that just needed a new battery pack

My brother and I tried overcooked 2 and our friendship almost didn't survive the third kitchen

Question about finding a good co-op game for my son and me

Warning: The 'cozy' couch co-op at PAX East was actually chaos

Why does nobody talk about the overheating on Switch during 4 player Mario Kart?

Picked Mario Kart over Crash Team Racing for game night - big mistake

Warning: that "party mode" button on Mario Party is a trap

Finally beat that final boss after 3 years of trying with my brother

Tried Asymmetric vs Symmetrical co-op last weekend and my friend group split

The weekend my brother and I nearly threw the controller through the TV

Shoutout to my buddy Dave who convinced me that Overcooked 2 is better with 3 people instead of 4

Spent 40 minutes trying to get player 2 to join a co-op game last night

Used to play 4 player split-screen Halo with screen looking, now we just do 2 player
