I guess I'm weird and scary. 40 years old, just played 4 player splitscreen MK8 with wife and kids, gonna play some Pikmin 3 in a bit and shoot a bunch of nazis in the face tonight on ps4.

Amen brother.  Video games are really just interactive movies.  I noticed that most women hate video games though because you can't PASSIVELY engage in them like you can a movie.

No arm around your lady here... two hands on the controller and come get some.

 

That being said you found the secret.  Leverage the family (and kids) for MK type games and then play the violent ones when they go to bed. ;)

That's how it usually goes, however we did play Halo 2 and Killzone 2 co-op for a bit. Women are more into communicating while playing I think. We played Everquest and WoW for years together. However MMORPG and kids don't mix and console online play is generally not a nice environment. So for her it's the occasional facebook game with 4 or more chat windows going while sharing pictures and links.
