Old Grandma Hardcore


I can't believe I stumbled onto this. This woman is 70 years old and has been beating video games for 25 years. The link below goes to a video interview with her. She's now a professional game tester. You've got to love this woman!

It's probably a good thing that I only play PC games, not console games, otherwise I'd turn into her. But when I was living in...er...playing the Final Fantasy XI MMORPG a couple of years ago, I was an oddity in that universe in two respects: I was an actual female player, and I was 49. Nowhere on that server did I encounter or hear of another woman older than me, and there were millions of players from the U.S., Japan, and all over the world.
