Playing video games for 40 years? *salutes*
It must've been amazing to see video games go from Pong, through Galaga, Wing Commander, Freelancer, TES: Oblivion, Crysis, X3 to Skyrim and (upcoming) ArmA III.

I second what Dragon said. It'd be something else to see it all start from the very beginning and to see it's evolution first hand
I laughed immediately after I saw the first game she was playing.

I always thought I had a good record at 30+ years, but I think this woman is incredible, if for no other reason than she's figured out the one thing about GTA that people half her age have yet to figure out, and sums it up in one sentence.

I hope that is me one day. As long as arthritis or death or whatever doesn't get in the way.

EDIT: If she can play for 40 years and still keep going, that is encouraging. I have wondered if avid gaming might mess up my hands in later years. Maybe it does the opposite...

What a sweetheart, I am smitten. <3
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

It's funny, I don't play Disgaea, and I don't think I've even watched anyone play Disgaea, yet when I saw that on the screen and what she said about demons, I thought of Disgaea.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
