And if you scroll down a bit, you'll see that she played all of Growlanser Generations in 96 hours.

Got this from the WDMB.

I use a 13" TV.. hah! I used to play Heroes of Might & Magic II and III online years ago and I've played with some master strategists as old as 57. It's not too appaling to hear this. I mean.. just check out the chessmaster.. Check. Him. Out.

Hehe, wow. That has to be cool to have a grandma like that. My grandma (like many others I suppose) hates games and the idea of gamers, though she has come to at least live with it and embrace the times.

I wish I had a Grandma like that. Taking on KUZE ghosts on Chapter 8 throughout the wee hours of the night. Lol :P

I have to admit I'm a bit envious. She not only has more consoles, a bigger TV, and newer games than I do, but she's also plowing through them like they're nothing! I haven't had time to play, let alone finish an RPG in months.

...But yeah, there's no doubt about it, she rocks! 8)

Wooow! That's just... really awesome. Especially since she's played Growlanser Generations. She's a more well-rounded gamer than many people I know, myself included. And after living and working for so long, she's earned it. :D

Dude, that's awesome! I have never heard of a grandma being addicted to video games. She sure is one hard core gamer... :shock:

That's a hell of a lot of Diet Coke and Popcorn....

Now there's something new for X-box live: "Hey! How'd you get that granny-sounding filter on your voice?!"

I dunno, I don't think I could live if I drank that much soda in that time period, expecially if it was diet (yuck.) I also doubt if I could even dream of eating that much popcorn as well.
