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 21 - Grandma plays Overlord

[Update: Yay! Kotaku, Destructoid and Joystiq gave us some love! Thanks, guys. We love ya!]

A couple things on this one:

1. The chain 'bling' she's got around her neck is an emergency alert tag displaying that she's currently taking blood thinners.

2. This stage was the battle with Kahn at Heaven's Peak. There's some voice cues you might pick up if you've played it through, but other than that there's nothing that could be construed as a spoiler ;)

There wasn't a post Sunday because my goddamn monitor's base broke because goddamn NEC makes great goddamn LCD screens but sh*tty goddamn bases, goddammit. All is well now, so the next post is Friday for yas.

Game on!

    Great video, I am planning on buying Overlord soon. I would suggest that grandma pick up Brave Story: New Traveler on PSP, a wonderful old-school turn-based RPG that feels a lot like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. I am sure she would enjoy it. Dragoneer's Aria is another turn-based RPG for the PSP coming out soon. Just a heads up.

    Nice. Now that she's beaten Overlord, do you have any ideas for her next game? Metroid Prime 3 perhaps? That comes out in a couple of weeks. Before I pick up my reserved copy of that though, I got to finish up Final Fantasy on the PSP. Game on!

    Wooo good job Granny. I had a hard time on that boss as well.

    I recamend going with Metroid Prime 3 next. The new Control scheme will make for a Great game.

    Nice to see that she's well now. Was a blast seeing her play. (although it would've been fun to see some game footage as well, so you could see what she was up against!)

    Nice work on the vid CAD as usual.

    BTW, isn't there some company that will sponsor grandma for a nice LCD TV?

    Oh, and Grandma's 'bling' actually looks cool. ;)
