The Cat Is Out Of The Proverbial Bag
Well, Grandma knows about the blog. I was worried what she'd say. My instincts told me she would say something on the line of "You told people what I said? TAKE THAT SHIT OFF!!!" But I had to tell her before I posted pictures (the ethics of posting pictures of someone online when they don't know about it should be pretty clear: don't do it.) But she took it extremely well.
In fact, she laughed her ass off.
She doesn't know what the big deal is. As I type this now, she's in the first stages of Prince of Persia, so I'll write about that later, but imagine your grandma, controller in hand, beating the living shit out of sand-based demons saying in a sincere voice "You know, I like this camera angle better than in Devil May Cry..." That's why she's special.
She loves your comments!! Especially the ones that say "there is no way this is real...", and "you assholes fell for a hoax." She doesn't have any smack to say to these folks, she just laughed. Really god damn hard.
...and then went back to her game in the calm, tranquil way that could only be Grandma"...asshole won't run up the wall...."
So let's take a look at what you see here...
A: An annoying talking bird that repeats what you say. Thank God it's batteries died long ago. Imagine what it had said. Just imagine.
B: Painting Grandma did a while back. Pretty.
C: Prince of Persia displayed on a 34" Sharp television via the component input (nice colors). Nothing special, but at least she doesn't have to squint playing games.
D: The computer on which I am typing this entry displaying this entry... It's like fucking M.C. Escher, man.
E: Old school Sony surround sound amp; plenty of watts, never turned off, hotter than your microwave.
F: Gamecube. Inside is recently rented "Tak 2: The Staff of Dreams," on a little break after the poor system nearly died trying to keep up with her infamous Resident Evil 4 addicition.
G: Playstion 2. Her second PS2 after the first one died sometime after the hundreth hour of Final Fantasy X.
H: Second XBox controller after the first one died of an "accident."
I: The XBox; thought it was safe after Outlaw Golf 2 was completed, now on the new fix: "Prince of Persia."
J: That's the top of happy ol', jolly ol' grandma's head.
I'll try to get some audio soon, and the way she's playing this game I think it won't be long. Coming soon: "Grandma Destroys Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time!!!!"
Thanks for the comments and e-mails!!

Easily one of the coolest things I have read in a while.......i wouldn't be surprised if this was on the news in the not so distant future.....being that I discovered it via a mustang ethusiast message board. Mustangworld.com

"H: Second XBox controller after the first one died of an "accident." "
Absolutely awesome. That sounds like me, actually. I wanna be the gaming grandma someday. [I've got a bit of time before then, though, so I will just gaze at my role model from afar for now. And read and laugh.]
I'm glad she's not upset about the blog. Keep up the good work!

Rockin', most blogs are fairly disposable... this one looks like a keeper. Just so you know, you have at least two readers in merry old England!

Hey, you should keep the air entries from GC free of obstacles if you don't wanna buy a second GC as the other two systems.
By the way, is someone there who doesn't hate that dog from Duck Hunt?

OMFG...she's got the gamer face on... my mom is almost 60 and she plays the hell out of her gameboy. I'm scared to get her a console, last time we got one it was a snes and it stayed in her room the entire time... had to beg to play my game, and only could if I had finished my HW and killed any bosses she needed killed. (6th grade)
And yes. That fucking baby was hard as hell to kill.
