Recently got an Xbox 360 from Costco, and I am hooked. This is one awesome machine. I have always played on the PC before. Now I have gone from a computer monitor to a large HDTV. This is better. Also the Xbox 360 has some kind of incredibly powerful CPUs and graphics going for it that do outshine my PC even though it has a 3.2Ghz CPU. I think that the Xbox has about three of these CPUs, but I digress.
I have been playing "Perfect Dark Zero" where I am Joanna Dark, Secret Agent and Assassin. Skin tight black leather outfit, high heel boots.
Seems strange, I actually lean more towards the hulking armored heavy gun/rocket/laser carrying dude like in the incredible Quake 4. But the characters you become are all good looking women in Perfect Dark Zero, fighting Chinese thugs.
So my good friend Yorgi (also from Georgia, but the one in the Ukraine) wants to play PD0 also. We initialize the other controller and this absolute babe with a slightly Asian look, skimpy halter top and tight short shorts appears beside me in the game.
This was getting weird..... "Nice ass, Yorgi." "SHUT UP Bill!"
However we are playing this in split screen mode. It is like he is playing on a wide, but narrow lower screen and I am playing on a wide, but narrow upper screen.
Very disconcerting. I can see him on my screen, and he can see me on his screen, but it is still disconcerting because he is much faster than me (he does get killed more often) and I am continually distracted by his/(her) fast movement on the lower portion of the screen.
I have played online where we are all on one screen. Is there any way to do this just using two controllers?
Advice appreciated. I know that the Xbox 360 is the new kid on the block, but I suspect that the older Xbox(es) play this way also.
PS. Yorgi and I are now playing Quake 4. Still split screen, but we are tough dude Marines. Sergeant Kane and Yorgi kicking Strogg ass!

...anyway, you might try the 
Just tell them to talk to you after they get their driver's license. If that doesn't work, tell them you've made it with a girl. That's probably pretty rare around there
