Old Grandma Hardcore

Posted by Zonk on from the too-good-to-be-true dept.

On the off chance you haven't seen this yet, take a look at the Old Grandma Hardcore blog. A gent has begun chronicling the gaming habits of his elderly grandmother, who at the moment is working through Prince of Persia in between swearing and pain pills. From the site: "Grandma has long wanted to try the Prince of Persia series after reading the reviews. She was really into Devil May Cry because killing people with swords is far superior than say, coldly sniping them from afar. Also, she enjoyed audibly congratulating herself for a good combo; for example she would whisper 'Yeah, ...Stylish' in her best Issac Hayes impersonation..."

  1. Nice site BUT... by LoRdTAW · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You can barely hear grandma except for the occasional curse she yells out. And you cant tell if she is even playing. If the dude had a little more hardware like a cheap video capture card and a better mic he would have something. Have a shot of grandma playing while cursing up a storm and a box with a feed of the video game she is playing. Then we can see what she is bitching about.

    Not MY granny, but the mom of my mom's boyfriend (my mom has a boyfriend, the mom of that guy... got it ?)... Everyone was telling me she kicked ass at Tetris. Being quite a decent Tetris player myself, I laughed, and challenged her.

    I died after making nearly 400 lines, which was over my average score. She stopped after 700 'cause she had to go prepare supper, but she was in good shape, nowhere near trouble, she probably could've continued for another 700 lines...

    Talk about a humility lesson.
