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 18 - Grandma plays "Resistance: Fall of Man"



***Update*** March 17th -- Holy shit, guys! The Last Boss and Kotaku (again, Brian, dude... we love ya) posted Video 18, which made its way to the front page of Digg for quite awhile today, which ended up on the NeoGAF forums... Jesus. It's been quite a ride for this one. Thanks everybody!--

The thing about Resistance that I didn't realize; the thing for which I will now be chided forever thanks to the magic of video; is that flanking your enemies when playing against the CPU in single player mode is not only impossible, it's just silly to suggest.

Grandma and I are used to playing Gears of War on co-op mode on the XBox 360, in which Grandma usually hides behind a rock of some kind, peaks around a corner and blows up emergence holes while I sneak around to the side and try to pick off anything she misses. You can't do that in Resistance. Whatever has the firepower is coming after YOU; it doesn't matter that there's a platoon of AI friendlies it should probably worry about more. It'll ignore them and come after your ass from across an empty field.

Ah well. No matter. Grandma figured it out, even though I couldn't.


Coming up later this week: Grandma's First Wii Sports Bowling War.

Game on!

    Yay video! Both gaming goodness AND some really excellent camera work? It's two great tastes that taste great together! I am filled with delicious gamery joy. To quote the vernacular - "SQUEE!"

    We checked out God of War II at work yesterday (...but also Bullet Witch. Ugh barf yech on that title) and I kept thinking of you guys - did Corey send you a copy? He HAD to have. Heck, for the amount of time and love and energy as Grandma spent on that game, it should be delivered by a dude dressed as Kratos - along with the heads of your enemies! (if you have any, which would actually surprise me if you did, because who the hell doesn't love Grandma? I'll take 'em out myself! RAR!)

    Anyhow - I'm going to spend some time with another excellent Insomniac title (Ratchet & Clank series, hooray!), and you guys be good. MORE VIDEOOOOOOS!

    Take care, be well, and GAME ON!

    -A!

    Wow, that was great! Huge props to Grandma, I really hope that when I'm older, I will be as aware and skilled to be able to play games (or whatever we'll have in future that replaces them) like she's doing!

    Btw, can the author of this video tell me what is that song playing at the end? it's very groovy.

     
  • At 12:43 AM, Blogger CtrlAltDelete said…

    The song at the end is a tiny clip of "Rental Car" from the Beck album Guero.

    You can find it right here.

    It's an awesome album :)

    I love you Grandma! You always make me day!
    That song in the end fits really well with the whole vibe of the video, specially the ending where she finally kills the boss. :)

    GAME ON!
