- junkalam, on 10/12/2007, -3/+129dude http://www.oldgrandmahardcore.com sounds like one of those over 50 porn sites. Not like i've been to any *nervous wistle*
- TonyCubed, on 10/12/2007, -3/+84So you can chat her up? :P
- SteaminTmann, on 10/12/2007, -29/+89If I bought a PS3, I'd be swearing too....
- PopeOfDope, on 10/12/2007, -1/+55Did anyone else see the Guitar Hero controller in the background? I'd much rather see her play that.
- bananaguyc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+51True, but this lady's hand-eye coordination is probably like 90X the average for her age. You won't see her getting the gas confused with the brakes and running over innocent pedestrians anytime soon (IRL anyways, heh).
- therearenorules, on 10/12/2007, -3/+51this lady is a ***** bad-ass... "come on, *****, die!" hahahaa
- cfelde, on 10/12/2007, -2/+43I'm hesitating when clicking on a webpage named that!
- Zamu3L, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33Im going to buy my grandmother a PS3 and a violent video game and see what happens ...
- tanside, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29Wow i always wondered what the gamers of today would look like when they reach their golden years, makes me wonder what the kids will look like.
- Raian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27depends ... and yes that is a pun
- mwsherman, on 10/12/2007, -8/+33I really hope she uses XBL and has a headset.
- sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32Sounds like ye olde typical "white trash" granny from your local trailer park. You tell 'em bones...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25I was telling one of my friends about this lovely ol' lady and he said "I've got to see this!"
So I open up the browser, go to google and type "Grandma Hardcore Video..." and before I could type "Games" at the end, I was punched. - Steek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I want whatever gum she is chewing.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26good for her.
- t_stehilaire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20That's my grandma and I love her to death. She's just a cool woman; even without the video game habit we'd be good friends.
I hope I can answer some of the questions you diggers have asked:
She does own an XBox 360, a Wii, and a Playstation 3; aside from her older consoles (XBox, XBox Debug, GameCube, PS2, assorted classic systems, etc.,..)
Her XBL Gamertag is "OGHC" (she does have a headset but rarely uses it in multiplayer matches because of 12 year old kids calling her "*****". She uses the chat feature quite often, though.)
Her PSN ID is "OGHC" (She does not yet own a headset)
Her Wii Code is "5190 3632 0029 8742"
She can't quite afford a better TV yet, but it's something she's saving for given that gaming is a major hobby of hers.
As her grandson, I really don't know how to respond to those calling her "white trash". The hell am I supposed to say? She gets frustrated when she plays sometimes. I'll think most of us are guilty of using more a colorful vernacular when flustered on a single player game. It doesn't hurt anyone to swear, she doesn't curse when playing multiplayer for fear of negative feedback, and it's very cathartic for Grandma (well that's how she puts it anyway.) Understand also that these videos are edited for time.
As for her skill, it really depends on the game. She's just warming up to FPS's, she's been groomed by third person shooters such as Lost Planet and Resident Evil 4. But now she likes Gears of War on co-op. She's always dug Insomniac games so Resistance was something she didn't hesitate to get.
Thanks for posting our website in the comments but you really don't need to, it's all good. We're not making any money from the site and don't have advertisements so traffic is always a pleasure but never a necessity. Most of Grandma's videos are available on YouTube.
Also: she's never appeared in a pornographic movie. The name "Old Grandma Hardcore" was my idea, I'll take the blame for that one ;) - onimusha115, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23given your demeanor I'd be willing to bet your a moron.
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21"You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!"
- Some Kid, Cafe 80s, 2015 - Import98, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Man, my wife is 26 and has those same slippers. I always told her they were old lady slippers. LMAO....
If they have the $600+ bones to spend on a PS3, you would think they would update the TV. Funny video nonetheless. - praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+19That would be the kind your teeth are attached to.
- DeskFlyer, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22Best. Grandma. Ever.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18You're a stereotyping moron, and I bet this 70 year old woman could kick your ass.
- robdiggity, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15@bananaguyc
I could see it happening if she really gets into Motorstorm... - whiskeyclone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13@LesbianHam:
That song was Beck - 'Rental Car'. From the Guero Album. - DforSpiD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11They can't... they have arthritis
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11She owns a Wii. Look at the rest of her blog.
- ToldYouS0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Err...yea...that's just nasty...xP
- LesbianHam, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Anyone know what song that is at the end of the vid?
- kitta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I am scared by all the granny porn talk in the above comments.
- Sartori, on 10/12/2007, -18/+25@steamintmann:
If you don't want a PS3, why would you buy one? :P - bigbadgoat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@brokenempires
Grandma already owns a 360 and a Wii, The 360 was given to her by MTV because she regularly stars on the "g-hole" as a reviewer. She was at the last E3, and has been to nintendo's senior gamer's event, where she won top prize for brain age. She has pretty descent connections with Microsoft and Nintendo reps and regularly gets free games and consoles from them, (and apparently an 360 dev kit?) However, all of her connections with sony are with developers, and so far, hasn't established the connections to get free ps3 gear, (although she did recieved a psp, and a couple of DS's) Grandma has been saving money since before she recieved the 360, and she finally had enough to "do it right", and get a couple games with it. Ohh, and Grandma swears at EVERYTHING, including wii bowling.
I love her, she's hilarious, you should too. A "nicer" way to get to her site, is "oghc.blogspot.com". She's a pure gamer, has almost no bias, and holds little preference for a particular brand. She sees all consoles for their playability, and sees the potential. - I82Much, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7When some MTV guys came to her house and interviewed her, she trounced them in a couple of types of games.
If you check the main page, she's beaten God of War, Resident Evil 4, Destroy All Humans, Prince of Persia the Sands of Time... - Cimlite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Come again?
or... on second thought, don't. - jswan, on 10/12/2007, -9/+15i think i just threw up in my mouth a little
- GenoBaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6not true... I've seen her on AOTS a few months back... she also has her own blog about the games that she plays at http://www.oldgrandmahardcore.com
- Aharoni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Take a good look boys and girls, this is how the future in 50 years will look like, only with slightly different graphics on the (bigger) television.
When all of us hit that age, there are going to be a whole lot more cursing grandpas and grandmas online playing FPS... - DolphinGL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It's better than a f*cktard digg flamer who's trying to be cool on the internet by playing the intellectual superiority card BS.
- Julz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7www.oldgrandmahardcore.com - her official website
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I remember when "hardcore" meant you would fight anyone and you liked music that went 100mph and made your ears bleed.
Now it either means internet porn or Doritos and video games.
Things change... - Ramzy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I've seen videos of this Grandma a fair few times now, and while the videos never cease to make me smile, I've always wondered... Is she actually any good at playing the games she chooses to play?
- stubadub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I would be willing to bet that sfacets is white, which makes it less likely that he's a racist that hates all whites and more likely that he's insulting those of a lower class (i.e. poor).
Now lighten up, buddy. If you try real hard you'll make it out of the trailer park one day. - Ignathius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"When i was your age we had to look at a flat screen and hold a controller... we even had a system that made you swing your arms around like a buffoon .. but that was just a fad"
beware. the Wiimote is simply the first step in having actual VR gaming in the house. you see, Nintendo has realized something. graphical upgrades are comming along nicely, and there's plenty of companies working on 'the next big thing' in graphics. however, no one has started down the fork in the road towards 'interactive' gaming. the closest thing you have to interactivity in the other gaming systems, is using your thumbs with your index fingers at the same time.
it's extremly easy to make a system that can support the newest graphics. however, it's not as easy to create a gaming system that breaks the 'norm' in interactive control. yet Nintendo is breaking new ground in the area. remember the old NES powerglove? i imagine we'll be seeing a comback of it in a Wii form within the next 5 years.
once Nintendo perfects full interactivity in their games, it'll be extremely easy for them to shove the latest and greatest hardware in there to support whatever the newest graphic technology is at the time.
remember the game system from Lawnmower man? (the movie) Nintendo is well on their way to making something even better. - bigbadgoat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3theres an article on it, go read her blog.
- womfalcs7, on 10/12/2007, -14/+17Watching the footage of the gameplay got me excited. I'm about to turn on my PS3 and continue the second time through the campaign.
- stubadub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That kid happened to be Elijah Wood in an early role, btw.
- haloevo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+41337 diggs
:) - UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I was about to digg it but I won't be the one to push it to 1338. :)
- t_stehilaire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There's a funny story behind that actually. 20th Century Fox contacted Grandma and I to be invited to a screening of the movie before it premiered. She had read the press releases and heard it was about a grandma that digs video games so she was happy to accept the invitation. After it was over, she said "it was a good movie about stoners, but it was a sh*tty movie about video games! WTF was with the lion?!"
She felt really bad. She felt the invitation to the movie was like saying "here, come see this movie that we all worked really hard on" and she hated it. She laughed really hard when the grannies were stoned, though. - shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"talk about pwnage!"
is that a command? because what you said was not 'pwnage!' at all. she has a wii, infact before she got a ps3. - Guagloves, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5i lol'd
