Old Grandma Hardcore. "This blog is the chronicle of my experiences with Grandma, the video-game playing queen of her age-bracket and weight class. She will beat any PS2, XBox, GameCube, etc., console game put in front of her..." A 22-year-old man blogs about his grandmother's video game obsession.

The videos are excellent (or perhaps frightening), I play exactly the same way... Of course, I suspect everyone does, but I've never actually watched anyone else play. I watch the *screen* while other people play all the time, but I've never actually watched someone play. Weird.

I mean cussing at the screen, moving the controler in the direction I want the character to move, etc.

jikel_morten, I thought she said "Ahhh fuck! You rascal, get outta there!" For some reason, that struck me as even funnier.

Reminds me of when my MomMom first got her own atari "for the kids to play." After a few hours of watching her curse out "Journey Escape," we realized we were never getting our hands on that controller. Don't stop believing.

I'm really glad the first three words of this post weren't what I thought. I'm really disturbed that it was the first thing I thought of.

The swearing makes it funny. The single tooth and the Grand Ole Opry shirt make it priceless.

Is this all that unusual? The only person I know who owns more than one games console is a grandmother. She has more teeth and doesn't swear quite so much, though.

The less time you have left on earth, the more video games you need to experience in a shorter period of time. This woman is a go-getter.
