Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



 

Here is everybody's favorite hardcore senior citizen, Old Grandma Hardcore, trying her hand at Super Paper Mario. Listen to her swear in a manner that would make most other grandmas and sailors cower in horror. If that isn't enough, she manages to get all philosophical on us at the end. 

Although she was less than pleased with her purchase of DreamGear's Charge-n-play, it seems Mario's newest venture lived up to her expectations. It just goes to further prove that anyone can enjoy the Nintendo Wii. Did I mention that I love this woman?

I like OGH. I really, really do. She plays for the enjoyment of playing. She doesn't give a fu[b][/b]ck about graphics or system power or shit like that. She just plays because it's fun.

Basically, she's STFUAJPG personified.

Get her to write for D-toid. This, I command.

Her complete acceptance of bizarre video game endings is wonderfully refreshing, and we can never have too many STFUAJPGers around.

Awesome. If you completely removed what she was talking about from the context of gaming, they'd probably assume she had dementia and put her into a home.

This is exactly what I want to be doing when I'm retired. In my stockings in a comfortable chair with a controller in my lap.

BTW, wtf is wrong with her hands and forearms? she looks like she mainlines crystal meth between rounds.

She also plays the PS3; there's one vid where she's playing Resistance.

@ Mxyzptlk: I lolled in my pants a little at that comment.

@ Churchhills Dog: That's just old people skin. They shed it every few days and get a new coat.
