This BBC clip on her shows that she plays real games -- not Facebook social and mobile crap -- and has real gamer cred. Not Solitaire, but Grand Theft Auto. She plays on a 65-inch television, using a new slim model PS3. When asked why she still plays after 40 years, she says that she appreciates how games keep her mentally active. But with that copy of Disgaea 4 on the table I'd bet her appreciation of gaming goes way deeper than that. Look at her blowing through those menus (see 2:25 mark)! Hilda, I'm so glad that you're one of the few and proud of the SRPG army. You're a general among our ranks.

AlteredFormula Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Reminds me of Old Grandma Hardcore, I'll post the link, as you don't want to put that into google search... http://oghc.blogspot.co.uk/ She hasn't updated in nearly two years but jesus... that woman goes through more games than me.

Jennifayrie Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I read this earlier this morning, i think it's great! There was an older man, late 60s i think, that would pre order all jrpgs that came into my local independant game store, games like the Atelier series, Hyperdimension series and Disgaea, it meant i could never get them haha but i thought that was pretty cool ^-^ If I see 86 i'd like to think i'll still be gaming 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowbugg Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 My grandma is who got me into gaming, she described, "A game you play on the TV where you ride a dinosaur and kill turtles." lol She even introduced me to the Final Fantasy series and was the first person I knew who owned any console. She was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
