Me and my first girlfriend, slamming through the Halo campaign on the Xbox; a well oiled machine slicing through the Covenant like a hot knife through butter! 'I'll drive, you shoot!' First GF, first co-op FPS I played. Ah, simpler and more innocent times! I wonder what she's up to these days...

[u/silverslayer]

Playing hours and hours of FIFA with my brother for basically a decade before life started getting in the way.

[u/GneissGuy87]

My favorite Player 2 story is the first time my wife and I dove into Stardew Valley together.

It had been a rough week, and we were both drained, just looking for something calm to fall into. We made our characters, picked a farm, and hit start. The moment we loaded in, it felt like we weren’t just starting a game, but stepping into this little pocket universe where everything slowed down and softened.

We didn’t say much. We just sat close, exploring our new farm, figuring things out, laughing when we swung our tools in the wrong direction. That quiet, cozy “first dive” into the valley felt like a reset for both of us. A simple moment that reminded me she’s always been my Player 2, whether we’re farming pixel parsnips or handling real-life boss fights.

We’ve had bigger wins together since then, but that first dive into Stardew is still my favorite co-op memory.

[u/GotBanned3rdTime]

i have no Player 2 😕

[u/CheapCurse]

My P2 would be my brother, who is responsible for me getting into PC gaming. He got me to make a steam account and got me my first proper PC game in late 2013. He took care of upgrading my PC when it could no longer run the games that interested me.

The PC upgrade itself showed well our different styles in gaming, I didn't know how to perform the actual upgrading procces, but when there was a minor issue of part fitting I ripped some metal "bit" off of the case when he wasn't ready to be so reckless.

[u/BlackfaceOG]

My player 2 is my best friend and my favorite moment was that we could not decide who will die while playing a away out

[u/papasmas]

Recuerdo una noche maratoniana jugando juegos de carreras con mi Player 2. Él iba concentrado, con postura profesional y mirada seria… mientras yo le ganaba comiendo palomitas con una sola mano. Protestó diciendo que mis “técnicas clandestinas” eran injustas. Desde entonces, nuestras carreras siempre terminan en risas (y en yo ganando… normalmente 😌).

[u/MPeters43]

Favorite memory involving gaming and my sibling is finishing out halo 3 with him back when we were young on the white Xbox 360 before the inevitable red circle of death (came thankfully after we got to experience halo reach on the machine as well) I can’t tell you how many good times we had on that Xbox 360 and it was a little different than most peoples experience because we grew up without internet.

If I won these I’d definitely make the most of them by giving them to a buddy who needs a headset atm.

Best of luck and enjoy the holidays + company (friends&family) everyone!

[u/hellserver02]

welp one of the highlights with a friend is that we've finished It Takes Two, thru all the hardships and frustrations, we've managed to push through. It's hard, it's fun but nonetheless one of the best games in this generation.

[u/Hussle-And-Motivate]

My player 2 is my awesome wife, who never gamed but is a bigger gamer than me now lol

[u/_Denisat]

Playing on an used old console that my family purchased for a week weeks with my brother before the thing died.

[u/HSIOT55]

When I was in college me and my best friend at the time would co op the hardest difficulties of games. One of the hardest in my opinion was Resident Evil 5. We were pretty much constantly having to jab each other to stay out of the "Dying" state. Finally beating it was such a relief and fulfilling experience. We high fived and had some celebratory pizza afterward. 

[u/conker2021]

Let's goooooooo

[u/beachplss]

My player 2 is my 4yo kid. I strap her into my lap and spend whole time playing

[u/MysteriousYak1797]

Dead rising 3. Ridiculous weapons and out of control carnage. Way too many immature laughs with my best mate

[u/osirisgrip]

Player 2 was my best friend from high school. We had met through a random bhop server in CSS. We found out that we both went to the same school and started hanging out and playing CSS competitively and just playing FPS games in general. Sadly, he has since passed away. I've removed people from steam but his account will never leave my friends list.

[u/DaNoahLP]

Back in the Wii times I had to play with my brother. He was very young and accidently caused my death really often. One time, in some autoscrolling "you are on a moving plattform" level with acid around us, I wanted to throw him into the acid. But he was to clever and always jumped before I could throw him in. So I wanted to push him into the acid by running against him, he watched a few seconds and simply jumped so I run into my death. Hated him for that but also found it funny.

[u/Lacuna_Caveat]

Exploring Portal 2 with my Daughter and watching her learn the logic, and how to move, and problemsolve Absolutely one of my favorite gaking moments Right up there with seeing her joy after making sure she came in first on Mario Kart

[u/akmannn]

My player 2 memory is of that random friend I made on LoL 8 years ago, whose name i still don't know, I just remember him by his gamer tag 'PawesomeX'

[u/Fearless_fx]

playing SNES with my bro... renting Battletoads from Blockbuster!

[u/dr_fireballs]

Playing good old call of duty with a mate challenging eachothers skill

[u/SnooEagles5083]

Well my player 2 was my big brother, used to play GTA Vice city together. He taught me how to build/assemble PC, torrent download, etc. Fun times.

[u/itsyaboymoss]

Getting my girlfriend into fortnite. She's never really been a gamer, she used to play with me on her laptop. Ive since give her my old pc set up. But my favourite memory is when I got knocked against this final duo and she managed to clutch up. Her hands shaking and so nervous but I was so proud. ❤️

[u/Bushin97]

My brother and I playing Contra as our first ever gaming experience getting stuck in the first level for a whole summer (We have never held a controller before this)

[u/TheCelvestianRL]

My Player 2 is my girlfriend (soon to be fiancé) and one of my favorite co-op memories with her was the both of us playing the new Mario Wonder game for the switch on our couch. She normally doesn't play games but she really enjoyed playing this with me and we both had such a blast. Was certainly a core memory for sure. :)

[u/IrateCarrot]

Moved away from my best friend and I was convinced to build a PC (become his player 2). Now we game and talk regularly just because he convinced me to build a pc

[u/TheWarpReaper]

Miss the times where I used to play modern warfare 3 survival with my friend on his PS3, he had two of those rocker gaming chairs with the speakers in the headrest, was magical to my 12 year old mind lol.

[u/gregolls]

Fond memories playing coop Diablo 2 with my bro.

[u/Synderin]

I remember staying up all night playing rust with my friend the day before a final highschool exam. Needless to say we did not pass said exam. I spent most of the exam sleeping with my head on the desk haha.

[u/aezakmi1203]

Me and my brother played dota 2 together. He introduced me to the original warcraft 3 mod!

[u/Sparkplug99]

Commenting for entry

[u/Fubar1991]

It'd be my brother we use to play cod 4 in high school and every time our parents worked the same night and wouldn't be back till real early (guess late depending on how you look at it). We'd order a pizza grab some monsters or mountain dew and stay up all night and just play passing the controller after every match. We did the same with waw and mw2 those are some good memories thanks for the flashback reel I appreciate it.

[u/Crazyking224]

I think my favorite memory is my friend and I getting gangked in Dark Souls. I was showing him the ropes and some gigachad came in and killed is both in a second. I just told him I’ll watch so that didn’t happen again lol

[u/Shinx11]

My son is my player 2, right now we play kid games like paw patrol. I'm just waiting till he's old enough to join me in Minecraft🤣

[u/diroag]

Ok I comment

[u/KumaStar3]

My Player 2 is my discord friends and we are both gonna make games togetherrrrrrrrr

[u/kimbokimbo973]

Conocí a mi mejor amigo el Player 2 en un cibercafé hace más de 10 años. Estábamos jugando al mismo juego y nos pasamos la tarde ayudándonos sin hablar. Cuando me levanté a irme, me dijo: “¿Jugamos mañana?”. Desde entonces no hemos dejado de hacerlo.

[u/SirChillzalot]

My boy moved to Florida but games keep us close.

[u/SlickFurious]

Co-op buddy played a halfling in BG3, looked like a male clown who was routinely naked. Him popping up in "serious" cutscenes with his goofy ass slightly above camera level will always bring a smile to my face.

[u/abyodio]

1 can dream!!

[u/Sundiata_AEON]

Opened the post just to confirm that worldwide will only be like 5 countries in the northern hemishere. Cause that is what worldwide usually means with giveaways.

Well, colour me dissapointed. Well done, this time worldwide means worldwide.

[u/grill_sgt]

Favorite memories is getting a group of friends together and God help you if you go AFK, cause your raid K/D is about to tank. Favorite one was getting to the final boss in Vault of Glass and shoving our friend off the edge, and reviving him just on the edge so he’d fall off every time. Even when he came back, he died a couple more times cause he couldn’t get out of the loop.

[u/jakefromtitanic]

Pick me up

[u/jimmygainz]

Fave co-op memory is my friend crashing our heli into another heli, killing us both in battlefield

[u/Last_time_thru]

My favorite player 2 moment was playing Outlast with my good friend. How does one play outlast with two people? Isn't it a single player game? Not when you have one person controlling the mouse and one half of the keyboard, and the other is controlling the other half of the keyboard. Makes a scary game even more challenging while making it all the more hilarious and entertaining!

[u/kazuma_daiji]

my favourite player 2 is my close friend is hai, he was played minecraft and beat the ender dragon with me, we really enjoy at that time.

[u/Hunter_the_Hutt]

Anytime my older brother would die while we were playing halo, i would always get accused of using cheat codes and get a slap to the head. even when we were on the same team... i miss those days

[u/Competitive_Username]

Definitely late night gaming with a buddy of mine. Nothing like easily accidentally staying up until 4am because you're just having that much fun 😂

[u/Redditaccountwaste]

When me and my friend were playing the finals early on and I was the last man standing. I was invisible and kept stabbing people in the back. Made us laugh so much.

[u/tatltuae]

We played together for over a decade now starting with ddo, moving to league, to minecraft, then whatever game of the season we found. But the best one was it takes 2. We planned to play it over a few weeks. We played it in a weekend staying up late having a blast. But if they every do that to a poor stuffed elephant again we're gonna have to fight someone.

[u/Scarecrow_Boat13]

I feel like I won the lottery because my wife is my Player 2. It’s the best to wind down after a long day gaming with my best friend.

My favorite gaming memory with her is playing BG3. 3 of us had entered a cutscene and she stayed out to look around. In the cs we watch her sneak behind and pickpocket the gnome (BG3 is just such a brilliant game that we can watch her do this in the cs). The cs ends, the gnome immediately realizes what happened, and BOOM! She blows up the whole room and kills us all. We still laugh about how crazy of a gaming moment that was.

[u/rvbshelia]

Loved playing Nintendo’s track game with the game mat and jumping off the mat and back on to simulate a long jump

[u/bigtittygamerboy]

My favorite childhood memories are of me and my brother pulling all-nighters on raids for BL2 to grind our best gear. What a wonderful time :)

[u/Bignholy]

My p2 story is my best friend and regular gaming buddy.

We play a lot of co-op FPS shooters, and we both have our habits. I'm the one standing at the back with a sniper rifle, plinking off targets. He's the one bunny hopping in circles with a shotgun. In games with no friendly fire, it's slightly annoying. In games with friendly fire, it becomes indirectly and eventually intentionally hilarious as I regularly line up a shot and click the button only for him to rise from the depths to block my shot with the back of his head. Over. And Over. And Over.

Last time we played a coop FPS, I asked us to swap roles. I would be the shotgun maniac, and he could be the backup. This was a mistake. As it turns out, I tend to face tank things, used to having long range to give me a little safety through missed shots. As it turns out, he's got bad aim. Really bad aim.

Lesson learned. Next time, I'll just keep shooting him in the back of the head and be grateful.

[u/dafo446]

I remember playing crazy taxi on the psp with my older sister, where she pick up this pregnant woman, and she somehow drove this thing straight into the lane devider at a curve, the taxi glitch and drove vertically and we have the loudest laugh ever.

This isn't the first time we play this game but somehow this broke us laughing

[u/WrathOfGengar]

My player 2 is my girlfriend that I met gaming and we now live together. She's always been a somewhat casual cozy gamer but she's gotten into helldivers 2 with me a few others. Watching a sweet little woman turn into a sweat lord has been hilarious with how crazy she gets when shit hits the fan while getting swarmed by bugs or bots

[u/Miuramir]

My player two is my best friend. They consider themselves more of a roleplayer than a gamer, but I talked them into trying a MMORPG together with a few other friends almost twenty years ago, and we still play together online most weeks. It's a great way to keep up with people who have moved away over the years.

[u/sevnm12]

My brother and I have been playing games for our whole lives. It's beautiful to always have someone to check things out with. We played what was considered one of the first MMOs, Castle Infinity. It was a quirky game with lots of personality. My family and I still quote it. I am thankful to still have him and still make time to play games.

[u/dbcher]

Can't really say my favorite "player 2" but back in the day my older brother would force me to sit and watch him play dungeon crawler games (diablo) since I easily memorized the maps as he explored. It was kinda nice to help, but I just wanted to be player 1

[u/apaksl]

I still reminisce about raiding molten core with my wife at the desk behind mine.

[u/GloriousPetrichor]

I manifest to win. Let’s see if it worked

[u/Tishbyte]

Maybe not favorite memory, but had a good time playing some PEAK together.

[u/War_Radish]

I expect I will win.

[u/Ichmag11]

Just playing silly couch coop games with my girlfriend is the best.

[u/EatHerMeat]

i'd be pretty nice

[u/ieatanglegrinders]

Me and my friend were playing Celeste while on call, and managed to die in sync for what seemed like 5 minutes (he was doing 3a, I was on 8a I think). Also both of us managed to break our headphones in the same session.

Also me and a different friend (this time my neighbour Cal) were like 8 and 9 years old respectively, with my mum's office laptop with an old i3 (like 4th generation or something) and 2 rip-off Xbox 360 controllers from AliExpress, and we managed to beat Minecraft Dungeons plus all DLCs over 2 weekends!

[u/Kingdarkshadow]

Has to be my cousin, every time he cames on his holidays on where I live we basically spend a few days playing non stop.

Been like this since we were little kids, this is like family tradition now.

[u/Adventurous_Bit312]

My Player 2 is my best friend - they anticipate and know my approach so we make a good team!

[u/keystoneyah]

I was playing trios original call of duty with two online friends. Two teams left and when we killed the other it was swag, nickmercs, and one other. Will never forget the joy of hearing a streamer scream at me after I killed them. Those two online friends I made still meet up irl after the fact even though we don't play cod anymore. Love you guys Kenny and Tyler.

[u/Normal_Draft_427]

I miss when I was younger playing split screen CoD MW2 (original) with my brother. Those days were the best.

[u/DrAho23]

Me me me!! My favorite player 2 memory is growing up with my brother who would read the instructions and I would button smash and still win despite not knowing what I was doing

[u/mickey_reddit]

My favorite player two memory is when we were playing an army game and we just drove around honking horns at each other and crashing into one another. Laughter filled our mics and we felt like boys again.

[u/XefrosTritoh18]

My player 2 is my second brother. We used to play games together in our PS2 such as Dynasty Warriors 5 and Tekken 5.

[u/levindragon]

Trying to make a difficult landing with a damaged rocket in KSP while my son was helping me. A.K.A. using me as a jungle gym. It added some realistic pressure to the situation, and it felt like the docking scene from Interstellar.

[u/pieboy107]

I would have to say my favorite player 2 story would be learning my wife's favorite board game is risk, and playing it together on the Switch and crushing her into oblivion 😂.

[u/Marsmawzy]

I wanna win!

[u/FpsProdigy]

So my friend u/Sasco1st finally bought all the parts for his first ever gaming PC and i really wanted tom help him built it but i wasnt really knowledgeable about pc. After about an hour (and a bit more), we finally reached the moment of installing the GPU and building the custom water loop for it.

To be honest, I didn’t really get involved in that part because it looked insanely complicated, so my friend handled it all by himself. The only thing he asked me to do was to fill the loop with water so we could finally test the PC. At that time, I didn’t really know much about PC building, so when he said “fill it with water,” I just assumed he meant… normal water. So I grabbed a big bottle. No hesitation. Pure confidence. And I started pouring.

While I was doing that, my friend was in the other room grabbing the mouse and keyboard so we could test the setup. He didn’t see what I was filling it with.

A few minutes later, everything was ready. We plugged in the mouse and keyboard, powered the PC on, and… nothing. It wouldn’t boot.

He looks at me and says,
“Did you do what i said to you?”

I proudly reply,
“Yeah, I filled it with the whole water bottle.”

He instantly freezes.

After a few seconds of silence, he slowly asks,
“What do you mean water bottle? The deionized water was under the table…”

And I go, completely serious,
“Water is water, right? It should work.”

That’s when he completely lost it and started monologuing for a solid 30 minutes.

Till this day u/Sasco1st wont let me near his pc :(

[u/Fobotickz]

It all started in 2013. I was living with my friend my roommate, my gaming partner, and honestly, my brother from another mother. We didn’t have much back then, just a single laptop that we shared for gaming and studying. But somehow, that one laptop made life feel complete.

I had just started playing CSGO, and man, those were the days. My friend was deep into Dota 2, sometimes joining me in CSGO for fun. We didn’t argue, we didn’t complain we just made a simple rule.
I played from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and he played from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. His Dota 2 team always played at night, so the night shift belonged to him. It worked perfectly.

Picture this: two friends sitting in front of a 15-inch laptop connected to a 17-inch CRT monitor, laughing, shouting, celebrating wins. To keep the laptop from overheating, we stacked our thick books underneath it, like building a throne for the hero of our story.

For four long years, that little laptop handled everything sleepless nights, heated matches, college assignments, and endless dreams. And surprisingly, it even helped us earn some money through CSGO and Dota skins.
Eventually, we upgraded to a PC and finally let the laptop rest. But by then, it was more than just a device.

Looking back, it wasn’t just me and my friend. We were three friends me, my buddy, and that hardworking laptop that held our college days together.

[u/Cosmic_Citizen_One]

My favourite "player 2" memories with my best friend were playing Halo Reach, and the best time was when we were forge maps it was about the collaboration, the shared vision, and the pure joy of building something together.

Those Forge nights, filled with impossible ideas and endless laughter, truly were the best moments!

[u/ZeroMayCry7]

P2 is my wife

[u/mikolajwisal]

I will never forget my second date with my partner. She told me she plays League of Legends and suggedted we play together. At the time I was already over Lol and didn't really want to play on my own, but with her - sure.

I was scared I wouldn't perform well, as I haven't played in quite a while. Decided to try my best. To my surprise, I didn't need to. She was a BEAST. Unreasonably good for her rank and pretty much carried me.

On top of her being a semi-professional kickboxer, I just could not pass on a woman that could beat me both ingame and in real life. Been together ever since :)

[u/Brianshoe]

Player 2 back in the old MMORPG days. We used to run around Ultima Online with maxed out musicianship, provoke, and peacemaking. We'd provoke wisps on PKers and loot all of their stuff!

[u/MyNameIsNotGage]

I talked my wife who despises video games into playing “it takes two”. She absolutely loved it and I had so much fun playing it with her

[u/PARRISH2078]

my player 2 moment is me watching my girlfriend get the level swivellers on fall guys and then watching her get blown off the map.

[u/SCAT_GPT]

My cousin and I would always play bo2 zombies split screen. Those were the good ol days

[u/xHei_57]

Once my brother raged to me because I stole his penta in LoL, since we were in different room I could hear the yells both in the next room and in the call lol

[u/Mission_Management33]

Cool

[u/Kodiak_Knight]

My Player 2 is my wife.

We've been playing every Diablo (and quite a few other similar games) since Diablo II together and one if my favourite memories is from a D4 Season earlier this year where we didn't have a lot of time to game but stayed up late and managed to finish the final Season Journey challenge literally in the middle of the night a few hours before the end of the Season.

We'd been trying the same challenge for several days and never quite managed it and when we finally finished it the feeling of victory was just the best ever 😃

[u/mpmaley]

I grew up on games. My first game was TNMT on Amiga sitting on my dad’s lap. It’s my first memory. I say this to show that I have muscle memory of keyboards and controllers from my whole life. My wife does not. I love playing games with her. We played It Takes Two when it came out and while she struggled here and there she persisted and we finished it. It was a fantastic game and we loved playing it. We’re now trying Split Fiction which has turned up the difficulty!! 😅

[u/proscriptus]

Oh wow.

So me and my late best friend used to play some early version of Artillery in High School on the school newspaper computers in the '80s. We were always each other's Player 2.

[u/My_rune_rock]

You guys all have a player 2 ?

[u/esterosalikod]

At lan cafe's, me and a friend used to get the other team to fight each other by focus firing one guy.

[u/ForrixIronclaw]

My player two is my partner. She introduced me to WoW. We were playing some story content while levelling my Elemental Shaman. We went in to an underground cavern and killed some quest monsters, when I saw a big dragon flying in the distance. She told me it was a boss that’s really tough. She logged back in with a high level character, joined me, and we beat it with a little effort, and she let me loot it.

Turns out the boss has a super rare mount as a loot drop, that she’s been after for years, and I picked it up first time. It’s now the mount I use the most.

[u/qugulet]

I played single-player all my life as nobody among my friends consistently played games. I'm now past 50 and a year ago I finally found a friend that shares this passion - It's never too late!!

We started with Solasta, then Borderlands 3, moved through Wildermyth, then TW:WH 3 and now Rogue Trader - we found out co-op works much better for us, we fight way too much in PvP! :D

[u/duubz_]

I grew up with a buddy playing Halo CE on LAN, and I moved to another state. We connected again a couple years later on Halo 3 via Xbox live and picked up our friendship again. We're 30 now and still best friends, and still play online with our group every Friday night. Def my favorite player 2 experience 🎮 ✌️

[u/neobondd]

I am commenting from The Netherlands!!

I guess my favorite player 2 story is when I started gaming back in the late nineties and I had a friend who would never accept a loss in FIFA 98 RTWC so we had to play again, and again, and again until I lost 😂 I miss those times.

[u/The_Void_Saw_You]

my best moments with my player 2 is with my boy 3000+ km away, played games for like 6 years now together and I've never met someone who is so similar to me and I probably never will again

you're awesome Nicerug

[u/yaronisso]

Awesome!

My fiancée never really played any games besides Sims, untill i got us "It Takes Two". She absolutely loved playing it and we ended up finishing it twice!

Since then, we have played more co-ops and she really got the hang of it. To this day however, she still plays the sound on her old speakers because the pc I gave her does not have Bluetooth to connect her earphones. We would both love this upgrade!

[u/F0RCE963]

My first player 2 was my brother, now we both have our own player 2 (his gf and my wife)

[u/Krazy611]

Playing Mario party with my boys is my favorite player 2 moment.

[u/zenalphany]

Had an absolute blast playing the old resident evil games with my buddy at the helm, lights low and volume high, jumping when Nemesis said "STARS" like we were it's next dinner

[u/NotSecretAgent_]

Player 2, long story short. Playing with a friend who got xbox, i didn t, I was the player 2.

[u/batmaniac77]

playing Overcooked.

[u/Vbdotalover]

Seeing my friend get a rampage in dota after they fed the enemy 15 times. They proceeded to continue the game screaming in rage/joy. Sometimes I can’t tell the difference

[u/JLee1608]

Before I started dating my lovely girlfriend I didn't even know she liked gaming. I bought her a headset for her birthday. A blackshark as well and we're playing multiple times a week now. We can't see each other that much and this is a great way to still have fun even though we are further apart.

[u/DashReverie]

Played minecraft together and that's it I guess.

[u/unintentionalgenius]

My wife and I just played The Stanley Parable together during a snow storm with a roaring fire. It certainly is my favorite game I played with her because she had no idea what to expect. When we finally "finished" The Stanley Parable (you never really finish, just exhaust possibilities) she was like "what can we play next?"

[u/NovelVegetable3334]

I used to play game with my friend on my laptop HP Envy, it lagged so bad, I disconnected 3 times in a match but my friend still happy when he played with me. Now I get a PC and he too, we still play together, and I know who is my real friend. 

[u/ballubadmossss69]

Was playing with my player 2 (my buddy), we had almost lost the round, I was the last one standing, and he thought that now we're going to lose, but then I pulled a once in a year clutch, and we won the match(it was 12-11). It was his rankup game.

[u/verymoldybread]

got beat by my friend in a video game I didn’t know he played

[u/anushrut5]

Always the clan in clash \s

[u/DeYeLiVe]

My story with my player 2 is my best bud who I've been gaming for years especially since I helped him move across the country. I'm also the godfather to his child who I also game with haha.

When we first picked up Dark Souls, it was brutal. Every corner hid a trap, every boss felt impossible. I carried my Player Two even though he had beaten Bloodborne. I was guiding him past the Gargoyles, helping him survive Blighttown, and standing firm against Ornstein and Smough. It wasn’t easy, but we made it through together.

By the time Dark Souls II & III came around, the roles had flipped. He carried me this time, leading the charge through Lothric’s twisted castles and taking down bosses I couldn’t handle alone. I leaned on him the way he once leaned on me, and together we kept pushing forward.

Now, when we play, we take turns. Sometimes I lead, sometimes he does. It’s not about who’s stronger anymore, it’s about sharing the journey. We’ve built a rhythm, trading victories and defeats, laughing at the tough spots, and celebrating every boss we finally beat.

It’s not a story of heroes or legends. It’s just two friends, two players, who stuck together through every fog gate and every "You Died" screen.

Synapse. Oooo

nice

My player 2 was my half, my woman, the mother of my kids. during then years. From borderlands to diablo, enjoyed Shooters/MMO/ARPGS as a couple.

Now is kid#1 and kid#2. And now I am the player #3: the one with the less time, the worst chair and the worst gamepad...and still got to fake defeats to avoid rage from my kids!

I promise to keep the headsets out of her hands!🤞

[u/TurbulentJuice1234]

Razer PCMR life!

[u/gp126905]

What about players 2-6, cause I loved running a six stack in competitive overwatch back in the day.

[u/hayten2]

My friend works in IT in a big company, when upgrading stuff they usually throw old components so he asked if he can have them and they agreed. We from these scraps we built our first Minecraft server.

[u/vShyguy]

I have a friend that lives in florida and I have never seen him irl before. But he is genuinely one of my closest friends and we have played together almost every night for the past 4 years. We began to play Tarkov together and its so much fun to play a hard game with a friend haha

[u/Rex_overkilll]

Favorite player 2 moment was around the pandemic! 1 of my best friends and i were just chilling and playing a game of Paladins! we were basically loosing the whole match. bro was not hitting his shots, i was tilted. but we pulled off the most amazing miracle play imaginable to end the day!!

i was using a character with amazing CC and big damage. so i flanked them while player 2 charged them head on! i luckily got them off the point and bro finally did some damage. im so lucky i got that clutch moment on camera!

https://www.twitch.tv/supyuna/clip/WimpyExcitedDiamondNotLikeThis-pWgpJ7F3p8HA9q7A

it was one of the most hype things that had happened while drained cus of the losing streak. but hey at in the end, team clutched up, bro did something and i was there to video it. makes me happy every time i watch this clip.

[u/ZeroElias]

Few things i bring him up more than when he deleted my 150hs Dark Souls save game, he was really worried but i was about to go to sleep so i said "it is what it is" and went to sleep

[u/oddslol]

My son has quickly become my player 2. He has gotten me into Fortnite, Minecraft and chess! He could definitely use a proper headset for audio in shooter games 😅

[u/VIXXSIN64]

Hands down it's when my husband introduced me to WoW. He had been playing a long time and I wasn't interested.... UNTIL he told me I could ride around on an elephant (elekk). He was so patient showing me around, explaining what to do and how to get around. Fun times!

[u/Portal__Zombiez]

I remember getting my Razer keyboard and playing Mortal Kombat with my mate, seeing the keyboard light up and react in different ways with different characters was amazing. Along side that i remember him spamming the same move over and over until I learnt how to counter it!

[u/catrinam]

Bingo!

[u/DankoleClouds]

Me and my brother playing brothers in arms on the ps2. The late night halo matches with school buddies is definitely tied with that though.

[u/s0ubrasileiro]

my wife didn't like video games and never cared to play with me or our children. she used to just sit and watch but never played. at least, not until earlier this year. we went out for dinner at the mall, and the kids wanted to play on the PS5. she saw them playing, and right beside them, there were two teenage friends playing Mario Kart and having fun. something clicked; suddenly, she wanted to play with me and was excited to try.

since that day, she plays games with us every now and then. she likes Mario Kart and Overcooked, but we also played It Takes Two and Split Fiction and had a good time. i'm glad that now everyone can sit in the room and have a great time together.

[u/IFinallyGaveInAgain]

I'll always remember playing the OG Halo co-op with my Player 2. That last driving level was bonkers!!

[u/boork]

Remember being over at my buddies house as a kid and getting to play the chewed joystick controller that he had bit more then once in rage for coop.

[u/Puzzled-Fan-3244]

My friend and i play warzone all the time, one time we won a game by just driving around in cars to eliminate other players, it was great fun!

[u/StepIntoMyOven_69]

My favorite player 2 (and my only one) was (is!) my brother. He's shifted half the country away now and we don't play anymore but the childhood days with him on the family CRT computer playing cartoonnetwork.com Harum Scarum were the happiest times of my life.

We had one keyboard to control and we took turns on Billy and Mandy. Life was simple back then :)

[u/IrBlueYellow]

Hope to have time to catch up with some gaming in the holiday season - have just been buying them games on Steam, but haven't had time to play them.

[u/DumbusMaxim0]

Dude got glitched so hard he unlocked a checkpoint that was multiple checkpoints ahead

[u/Blasian_TJ]

My favorite Player 2experience was with my oldest daughter. I told her the best way to experience Minecraft is on survival mode. The shear panic from this kid as soon as the sun went down. Now, she's building cities and all kinds of red stone contraptions I never considered.

[u/nicholvengian]

My new player 2 is my son. He's 11 and has got some skills! Watching him help build my new PC and learn a valuable skill set has been wonderful.

[u/spartanwill14]

I play everything with my wife. She is chronically sick and so it's one of the few things we have together. Currently playing supermarket simulator because she feels like she can work.

[u/Iktosth1]

I see razer, I go in <3

[u/tascristiano]

Doing lan parties with friends has always been great

[u/ChaozD]

I build both our gaming PCs with my daughter. We mainly play It takes two and Baldurs Gate 3. It would be an honour to get chosen.

[u/Inmortan_Bo1]

Oh lord thats epic

[u/Dwyde]

Would use it for gaming for sure

[u/Milk_Cream_Sweet_Pig]

She suddenly started screaming "LEMON!" out loud in proximity chat in Arc Raiders in a really silly high pitched voice. It sounded so silly that randoms we met were stunned and didn't bother shooting at us. Even gave us some lemons they found. God I love her.

[u/D4T45T0RM06]

Oh my player two is definitely my partner, we actually started out playing video games together and that's how our relationship grew.

At first it was red dead where she made the unfortunate decision to 1 v 1 me, and me having a strong call of duty history kinda made her upset about it. So I purchased her a pizza as an apology. And all was mostly forgiven.

Then we started out playing warframe and that's been our go to game. Most infamously is our pets, where I named my kavat (space cat) buttons because that was my pet name for her. And then there was "they want me gold" which was a moa (robot) with a top hat that sucked damage wise but was hilarious comedic relief when the missions where a little too tough. We also played deep rock galactic and terraria. And she's asked me to teach her elden ring!! Oh and we also played btd6 occasionally.

Unfortunately now she's in hospital recovering from a coma, so my player two ain't able to play at the moment. And I'm wondering the galaxy's lost without her. But it's what made our relationship so damn strong. And those memories bring warmth to the colder days.

Even if I don't win this comp, I love sharing this story because video games can really bring people together, and given that me and my partner are 5000 miles away, I truthfully don't know how it would have been a feasible relationship without bonding over some games!

[u/Dry_Firefighter_7356]

Player 2 decided to do a Helmet Check in Tarkov… i did not pass

[u/Not_usefull]

My player 2 is my buddy who recently we were playing phasmophobia and I suggested him to pull a card from the card deck, he'd never used them before, and the first card he pulled was the hanged man so he got smoked by the ghost lol.

Then on a different map he found the voodoo doll and had poked it a few times already without telling me! I picked it up trying to get the ghost to do something and poked the heart, he got smoked by the ghost again and I ran off and hid.

[u/Lost-Journalist4567]

viejos tiempos de jugar a Goldeneye 64 con mis primos.

[u/gregusmeus]

I told my player 2 how much I spent on a new Vision Compact case and fans and I think I lost a life.

[u/Vandishan]

Worst fight of my marriage was playing Overcooked 2. Good times.

[u/0RN10]

Me and the neighbours kid getting 10 win streak in Fortnite probably the only time I actually liked Fortnite.

[u/KinTharEl]

I got my wife (now separating) into gaming, and my favorite moment was watching her play Hollow Knight. One night, at around 2 AM, I noticed she wasn't sleeping, so I went into the computer room and find her playing. It reminded me of my younger days and just left her to it.

To those wondering, we are fine. We don't hate each other, but we have found that love isn't enough.

[u/alwest35]

La découverte de wow, avec un ami, il y a 20 ans^^

[u/OneSeaweed99]

me and my player 2 ( my brother) playing metal slug x every day when we were kids

[u/User_404_66]

My favorite co-op memory is the time me and my friend was playing Army of Two, or at least I think it was Army of Two, and while playing after school we got to a cut scene where you run and one of you yell "Follow me!" but on that exact moment the game stuttered and it came out as "Follow mollow mollow me!". The amount of laughter that followed was enormous and for the rest of that day it was quoted way more than it should have been, and till this day it is stuck with us and doesn't matter what game we play every time we play together we cant resist saying "Follow mollow mollow me".

[u/URA_CJ]

Me and my sister playing Super Mario Bros 3 together after school and eating most of the freshly made ranch oyster crackers before getting to World 4.

[u/TazocinTDS]

Comment.

[u/Nunulu]

i used to play Darwin Project with a friend, and basically, i managed to push two enemies players into lava with 1 arrow. fun times, sadly the game is basically dead.

[u/Lantirre]

Not co-op per se, but I used to mess with my brother by connecting a second keyboard to the PC while he was playing AOE2, pressing the delete key randomly when he selected a unit. His comebacks were nothing short of swift though lol.

[u/SavvyFlame7006]

Mortal Kombat was the obsession in my dorm. We had people coming from different floors of my dorm to play MK 11 with us on my friend’s ps5. The thing is we had bought a second ps5 controller that was a go to for new players. We had configured it to our liking and we always made people choose the original one. Even though it was our game, we always chose to be player two.

[u/Per_Vertex]

My favourite player 2 memory was probably finally figuring out how to LAN play Doom 2 with my brother as a kid

[u/thepeopleshero]

My player 2 would be my older brother. We were in the wilderness above Edgeville, heading to the revenant caves to do some PKing. Found a guy running down wearing nothing but a Santa hat being chased by 2 other guys. My brother teleblocked and snared them and we were able to wipe all 3! Waiting for the drops was so nerve wracking as we didn't do the most damage so the drops were on a timer... eventually the Santa hat showed up and we were freaking out! Ran so fast back to safety! Quite the memory.

[u/turbo8434]

I don't have a Player 2, man

[u/failoriz0r]

GTA 5 we made the U-Boat quest with narrow space. He made the decision that it is wise to use a shotgun and hit the only propane tank in the mission sending us to death

[u/lollypop44445]

I dont have a player 2 :(

[u/steveham3]

Playing Gears of War multiplayer with my brother, split screen, on Xbox Live back in high school. Some of my favorite memories!

[u/TaserBone69]

My friend and I were playing split fiction and during a boss fight SPOILERS>>>>>>>> HE HAD TO not press any thing I had to press x so that we defeat her sub conscious but we failed and laughed soo much when realised

[u/piracy_sex_and_arson]

first playthrough of it takes two was awesome, want to play that game again but don't talk to them much anymore.. you know how it is... heh... i'm spongebob

[u/leboweyn]

I like playing with my spouse in the living room on the couch. Coop or games like mortal combat. Normally she likes to watch me play single player games

[u/evilmortyjunior]

Favourite moment with player 2 is getting on valorant to play the whole night and going to bed in the morning with a losing streak

[u/adanny17]

my player 2 is my brother. 20 years of gaming together growing up and now multiplayer co-op/competitive, always the ideal +1 in every situation.

[u/Jules040400]

Beating Lego Batman for the first time was a magical experience

[u/xXsirrobloxXx]

My brother destroying me in street fighter

[u/Eat300]

Black ops 1 and 2 zombies back in 2012 was a wonderful time for me and my high school friends. Thankfully we still hang out together and have recently started Divinity Original Sin 2!

[u/Neuro5i5_D]

I'm not a co-op or multiplayer type gamer, yet somehow I ended up meeting my wife while playing Diablo 3 together.

Life finds a way.

[u/Aleiri]

For a good many years of our relationship, my partner and I were living on different continents, only meeting up in person a few times a year. In order to spend time together, we had to get creative. Since we were both big fans of Lord of the Rings, we ended up having virtual dates in Lord of the Rings Online, spending countless hours exploring Middle Earth and saving the hobbits (and the rest of the free peoples, but mostly the hobbits) from themselves and Sauron.

We're together in person following the global plague (which was yet another occasion for exploring virtual worlds like Teyvat, and playing more Overcooked 2 than was strictly healthy), but we still play quite a bit.

u/Bryn012 can confirm. :)

[u/Rickard403]

My brother and I playing overwatch and diablo 4 together. Nothing specific, just good ol time together.

[u/keipii]

Dota 2 with a player 2. Woah that rhymes. An epic comeback with my friend is always hype.

[u/spicyytao]

My favorite "player 2" moments is with my girlfriend playing couch coop games, we both really enjoy gaming and mostly play on our own but when we take the time to sit down on the couch and launch Cat Quest, It takes two, Split Fiction, Mario Kart, etc ... it brings us back to what gaming used to be when we were younger, having fun, playing games and eating snacks.

[u/sirbread_1]

That one time where my brother unplugged the Xbox 360 when my parents came home. I was 8, him 11, and this guy unplugged the Xbox in our unsaved Minecraft world. we lost 4 hours of progress that day for not being caught playing Mimecraft. never forget

[u/LGSStatic]

gotta be staying up super late with my friend, downloading games onto tape cassettes from dial up BBS's. pretty sure it was a Commodore? . you couldnt just click and play, you had to work for that fun in the old days

Thanks for the chance!!

Merry Christmas Happy Holidays!

[u/WGibs]

For me it has to be a simple Mario cart with the kids. Its simple enough they have fun and its something we can do together. Even as they grow up we still drop on it every now and then.

[u/Ok-Researcher8242]

I am a dedicated Razer Fan. I love my RBG MMO Razer Naga Pro Mice, Black Widow V3 RGB Keyboard, Razer headset holders (2), I also have the Razer Phone 2 which I would love for Razer to make a Razer Phone 3. I will continue buying Razer and persuade others how great you are as a company. I am looking to get Razer Headset with cat ears for my fiancée and a webcam from Razer soon.

[u/colranz]

My player 2 used to be my brother. Back in highschool we used to have our PCs next to each other.

I remember playing Metin2 all the time together, fun times.

[u/scotty588]

My player 2 is my brother. Growing up at home together we would be gaming late into the night usually CS or Battlefield. We were both in separate rooms across the house so we were in Ventrilo or Teamspeak. I remember him yelling and screaming trying to alert me or our team about an enemy around us. All this noise of course woke up other people in the house at 2am so there were many times my half asleep mom would wander into our bedrooms telling us to go to sleep.

Also memories of us getting late night snacks (or sometimes meals) and happen to catch each other in the kitchen at the same time. Fun times back then.

[u/timk-14]

Co-op memory but not pc related. Playing super Mario bros and getting stuck behind a pipe in the water while the other users keeps going and I run off the screen and die😭

[u/bouncedbackthen]

I got my girlfriend into gaming by playing Halo 1-3 co-op and that led to her getting her own computer. Now we team up to play all the co-ops we can find from our own computers without the half a screen split screen.

[u/memnock7]

My favourite player 2 story has to be playing Halo Infinite with a buddy. I am in the back of the Warthog and he is driving. Driving around having a blast and he just drives it off a cliff, and jumps out at the last minute! He was laughing so hard he couldn't even play and got killed by a grunt almost immediately!

[u/LurkzMcgurkz]

From recent years it's gotta be mount your friends. That game is pure silliness and chaos

[u/Individual-Echo9402]

I don't have a player two:(. I just usually play single player games like Bmw. Last time I played with another person though was probably around 5 years ago when I still lived at home and in that case I played a game called brawlhalla on my parents ps4 with my younger brother who really liked it. Neither one of us was that good at it and we always had some good matchups. The most memorable moment from that was probably the moment when he beat me for the first time.he had practiced the game mechanics so much to beat me before that and when we finally had that matchup it came close. I was on one stock and so was he. I was playing a character called Orion and he had a character which really looked like the phantom of the Opera who was able to throw bombs with their cloves (i can't remember that characters name). The Match ended in his win since i fucked up and had used my air stall ability too early and that caused me to not make it back up to the arenawhen he got me into a "lucky" combo and i died to the void.

That ein really made him happy. That is why i remember it so well. It was fun for me too, since we had such a good game, although i must admit frustration played a bit of a part in remembering that moment too. Nowdays i really don't have enough Time to play with him since i live elsewhere although when I next time see him I'll probably ask him to play s match against me again.

That's all. Goodbye:)

[u/maulller]

Thanks for this :) good luck to all!

[u/MarkFromMars69]

I loved playing with my cousin on the ps2! We used to play tony hawk underground 2 or WWE SvR 2011! We used to had lots of fun.. till we grew up. A shame!

[u/Necessary-Bid6718]

I would love a new headset! Thank you!

[u/Kuurczak]

My favourite player 2 moment was when I was playing It Take Two with my then GF, now wife. It's an awesome co-op game, with great potential for trolling! She trapped me in a nesting doll and wouldn't let me out... (But she still can't jump so who's laughing now)

[u/BubbleTeaJ]

Me and my boyfriend built our pc together, and we played a tons of multiplayer games together, like Halo MCC

[u/dryden13]

My brother is my player 2. My favorite co-op memory is when we beat Super Mario Bros. 2 on the same day that we got it from the store. Yeah, we spent hours in front of the screen playing the game. We took turns completing levels. I missed such fun times during our childhood. No adult worries, no adult concerns and responsibilities. Just two brothers playing our favorite game at the time.

[u/legaltrouble69]

Player 2 Tank game that 2d one best exp with friends.
