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.

Video #11: Grandma Versus Her Father

Grandma is past the "BUUNNYYYY" giant and is now in some sort of weird aerobatic circus of meat. (I'd like you to read that last sentence again. Strange, no? One word: Psychonauts. Nothing is strange to me anymore.)

To better show you what's going on, here's a new video:

[WMV; 02:11; 5.05mb]

It was made from graphics on the laptop, so it's a bit different from previous videos (no PNG graphics for the titles, strangely enough). After going through Grandma's "Habitat Cam" footage, I've come to the conclusion that she won't have ANY problems with the new Nintendo controller. You'll see what I mean.

--Thanks folks!!--

    rpm- I'm working on encoding all the videos in .mov for mac readers (LOTS of emails about this), I just have to wait until I have space available with the folks over at GamerGod (VERY generous bunch of gamers). I don't want to kill their bandwidth.

    Soon!!!

    Hey, what was the end song trailing out of video 11? That was awesome, I want to see if I can buy it somewheres...

    And thank you to both Tim and Grandma for brightening up my day! I love seeing that you don't have to be a wise mouthed teen geek to enjoy video games. Maybe the rest of the VG industry will pick up on that... and remember what the largest demographic in America is... which just happens to be the same group of people with both income, and after retirement, a lot of time to play games! Game on!

    adam- we only have 11 videos so far, so it's really not a bad idea for me to have at least transcripts of them available! It would be a good indexing tool for those looking for a specific quote, and you could use it as sort of a proxy captioning. I'll get it up tomorrow night for everybody, no sweat.

    jpat- the song was "A Better Son/Daughter" by one of my favorite bands right now: Rilo Kiley (who just went from Indie to major label I'm happy to say.) We'll look for you monday!

    Grandma, how I missed your videos. ::grin:: Gotta say again how glad I am that you're back.

    Heh - you know, I OWN Psychonauts and everything, but I've been so insanely busy for the past FOREVER that I haven't really played it yet... but I aim to change that in short order. Also! Someone needs to tell Tim Schafer to hurry up and visit this site, if he hasn't already. I am positive he'd laugh his ass off, and then send you free stuff. (well, at least the first bit)

    What's next on the plate for being mercilessly thrashed by the illustrious OGHC? I am muchly curious.

    Anyhow. Hugs to both of you, take care, and as always - GAME ON!

    -A!
