Old Grandma Hardcore

This blog is the chronicle of my experiences with Grandma, the video-game playing queen of her age-bracket and weight class. She will beat any PS2, XBox, GameCube, etc., console game put in front of her, just like she always has. These are her stories. She is absolutely real. She lives in Cleveland.

Grandma Versus World Championship Poker

Grandma is in between games at the moment. She has always resisted the temptation to go after the casino simulators; really- it isn't the same as a good FPS. Now she can play poker on XBox Live. World Championship Poker lets you create a character in a Sims sort of way that creates a pretty fair depiction of Grandma. The high pitch pleasant voice the quips her character makes don't exactly fit, however.

Character - "I fold! Tee hee!"
Grandma - "I don't have SHIT. Fuck it."

Character - "All in!"
Grandma - "I'm not letting you buy me out, you fucker."

Apparently one of the online game types allow people to enter games randomly when someone leaves, so the game could theoretically go on forever. After the initial "where the hell did these people come from?" Grandma makes her own commentary on their fashion.
"Look at this guy!!"
"What the hell? Tim! Check out this chick!! HA!!!"

I swear to god, if I hear "player checks.....player checks.....player checks....." one more time, the speakers will meet an untimely end at the hands of a late night session with a high powered magnet. We're going to get some new games later, oh yes. It's going to be today.

--More updates coming today!--

    I was surfing the web at my friend's house while he played GTA to show some of my friends your site. I get to the site and I'm looking at the title at the top and he just happens to turn around and caught off gaurd he yells, "What the hell are you looking at?!" Haha, without saying a word I clicked on the last video and disgust turned to laughter.

    Brandon- those are exactly the kind of stories I love to hear, man. It's somewhat voyeristic to go into messageboards and see what people think of Grandma so I tend not to do it too much. But when we get an e-mail or a comment about people sitting around laughing with Grandma at Conker or the like, it brings a wink to my eye and gives an angel her wings. Or something. It's good, nonetheless.

    Man, we both REALLY want to play God of War; Geist, and a couple others right now- (God of War especially) but it's still $50 in the used section. We'll rent it in the upcoming weeks, I assure you. It WILL happen. It looks like a sweet game.

    Of course we've seen Will Wheaton's site! We Fark! Silly! :)

    There are a bunch of different types of poker on this game- she tends to play Texas Hold'em and Five Card Stud, but there are a few others as well. She hasn't had the opportunity to try out the different games available like Stacked and compare them, but it was $19, so ...whatareyougonnado, you know?

As soon as the 1st "where the a Billig Gw2 Gold nightmare performed they will originate from?Inches
