CULTURE: Old Grandma Hardcore
Let me begin this post with a disclaimer. I love my grandma. She's lovely. I'd never wish for anyone else. I will admit, though, that if I were transported to an alternate dimension in which my grandma never existed and I could choose one elderly lady to replace her, I would totally choose Old Grandma Hardcore. Below are the reasons why.
- She owns an Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP. Which big time company reps gave to her.
- She plays heaps of games. Not just family friendly DS titles - the kind Nicole Kidman might play if advertisements were a reflection of reality - but hardcore FPS titles like Gears of War and Resistance: Fall of Man.
- She plays Xbox Live and unlocks achievement points and stuff.
- She played Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters in her hospital bed.
- She seems like an awesome person to know.
- I admire anyone who breaks two age-old (excuse the pun) stereotypes: that all gamers are under 15 and male. Sure, she's just one person, but anything that isn't this is a step in the right direction.
