Which Celebrity Would Make The Best Co-Op Partner?

Which Celebrity Would Make The Best Co-Op Partner?

It’s a weird question but just hear me out, it’s not as random as you might think. Dean recently put forth motivation as to why Justin Bieber could be an “ultimate” gamer and suffice to say, everybody who was brave enough to read that article was mentally broken after reading it. It seemed so logical and the thinking was sounds but it went against everything your mind told you to be true. Dean, himself appears to have retreated into some dark cave to contemplate the consequences of his actions and just what he subjected us to.

It got me thinking though, a lot of celebrities play video games, including pornstars. They’ve also got the money to buy as many games as they like and so long as we’re not talking about Ryan Seacrest or James Franco, then they’ve also got the time to do a lot of gaming. This suggests that some of them must be pretty damn good.

You have to be clever about this though because while I like to believe that Natalie Portman or Emma Stone enjoy their video games, they would be a distraction if you were sitting next to them. Honestly, if you were sitting next to them, the last thing you’d want to do is probably sit their playing some game, right? That said, it’s much harder for the girls out there because there are far less female celebrities who play video games.

Depending on the game, there are a few celebs I can think of who would make good co-op partners. I’d definitely take Lio Messi if I was playing FIFA. For anything else, I think Andrew Garfield would be a good partner, he seems like a nice guy and pretty level-headed. he’s also young enough to be pretty good at gaming. Alternatively, Zachary Quinto aka Sylar from Heroes or even Jake Gyllenhaal since he seems like a cool guy. Christian Bale seems passionate enough to be good at any game he plays for long enough but I fear his rage.

So, which celebrity would be your ideal co-op partner?

    Zachary Quinto is actually a known gamer, together with many other celebrities but is too much to ask for a celebrity you could play co-op with and then keep co-op’ing with long after the game has ended? If you know what I mean… Zooey Deschanel, anyone?

    Liam Neeson with a headset. Then he can say to my enemies: “I don’t know who you are, since you appear as a screen name, I can tell you if you’re looking for ammo, I have none, but what I do have, is a particular set of skills, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you, damn camper, leave the lobby and we can forget about this, and we can all respawn in peace, but if you stay, I’ll promise you this, I will find you, and I will pwn you!”

    BAM!
