    Miscellaneous 86-year-old woman likes to play Grand Theft Auto IV

    'Computer games keep me mentally active'.
    86-year-old Hilda Knott has been playing games for 40 years to keep her mentally active.
    BBC News shows her playing GTA IV and... Disgaea 4?!



    A short clip from BBC News introduces Hilda Knott, a woman who approaches her 86th birthday and likes to play a range of PS3 games on her giant 65-inch HDTV (that helps with her eyesight).

    And, it looks like she plays games with her aunt - who is 94!

    "We have an hilarious time", Hilda told the BBC.

    "I enjoy finding something new in the game - getting onto the next stage or the next event - and then the achievement of finishing it," she said.

    [...]

    Games aren't just fun for Hilda. She says they help her stay mentally agile too.

    "As well as adventures and fighting games, there are puzzles for working out how to do something," she added.
    You can watch the video report below!

    Yep, the Battlefield facebook page posted about a 70 or 80 year old man who had logged like 3000 hours of Battlefield 3 last summer, he used PC though.

    My mother isn't much into gaming, but I sent her the APKs for some of the games from Humble Bundle Android, and surprisingly she's had a grand ol' time playing Anomaly Warzone Earth HD, from what she told me, and she loves World of Goo and Osmosis.

    The funny part is mom fought me for years on whether she'd enjoy a tablet rather than a laptop (all she did was facebook and play puzzle games on facebook), and when she needs a computer she uses my dads laptop or my old desktop that I gave to them.

    She plays Disgaea... Marry me.

    Well, maybe not. Can I meet her grand daughter?
