My room mate has a playstation 3 and you can play cooperatively with random people around the world with it.
I was trying the new Resident Evil game the other night and you have an AI-controlled partner whom you can have a person control if you like.
I decided to try this and almost immediately I got a msg saying someone wanted to join my game.
This person seemed to know exactly where and what to do so when we walked into this room I heard this voice that said "Um, you don't want to be standing there", the house was dark and quiet and the game had only eerie mood music and the echo of foot steps so for the first few seconds I thought "Who the hell is that!?" until I realized that it was the other person playing with me and we can apparently communicate, and it comes over the TV speakers with the sound.
I had to exit the online portion of that and just pause it for about 10 minutes while I laughed at how silly I was.
