It is no secret that I am....rather....bad...at shooting games. Well, pretty much any game, really, but mostly shooting games. I have terrible aim. Jake still agrees to play a fair amount of games with me though, and I really appreciate it. However, I always feel REALLY bad about being so terrible, cause I know I always make it harder for Jake. I feel like a burden, but he is one of the only people who actually wants to play with me. I can't help but always want to play with him all the time, but I also don't always want to make his game harder or slow him or his team down. I always feel bad. I try to practice and I improve a....tiny...bit. But never good enough to actually be beneficial to a game :\ Dead weight. That's me.

Hehehehehehe! XP
As an avid gamer, I really enjoy this.
Don't feel bad! Gaming isn't exactly something humans were designed to do. Everyone starts out bad, it's just that many of us get a head start and play 'em when we're teeny.
Besides, any nerd would love to play his favorite game with a girl!

I'll offer some helpful advice :D
You have to figure out what kind of shooter it is. There's arcade and there is tactical. You behave very differently between these two.
Tactical shooters give you a large penalty to your chances to hit where you're aiming if you're moving. They give you a bonus if you're standing still and a huge bonus if you're crouched. These tend to be the shooters where you have the ability to focus your aim down the gun sights, and people sprint around like idiots.
If your shooter is tactical here are some cardinal rules.
Movement;
1.) Try to stick to cover, if you have a wall next to you, you've eliminated one direction that can kill you. Being out in the middle of a pathway attracts death.
2.) Frequently look behind yourself.
Shooting close up;
1.) Shooting without using that zoom down your gun sights is called hip fire, typically your crosshair will bloom to show you where you bullets might land. It's inaccurate but if you're in the same small space as an enemy, use this method so you can dodge. You should be moving erratically while hip firing to shake off your enemy's aim.
Shooting long range;
1.) Crouch, stop moving/dodging all together, use your aim down sights. It's almost entirely pointless to try to dodge while aiming down the gun in most shooters because they pay your movement speed a penalty, and also pay an accuracy penalty if you're moving.
Things to keep in mind;
1.) Headshots are great for immediate kills, but I wouldn't waste my time going for them once you and the other party are firing at each other.
2.) Guns lose accuracy the longer you hold down your fire button. You can refresh your accuracy by pausing your fire briefly. Try firing at medium/long range targets in bursts of 3 to 5.
Arcade shooters; Movement generally has no effect on accuracy. Dodge as much as you can, and learn where the health/ammo powerups are. Arcade shooters are more about knowing the level and having basic reactionary skills.
