Who says that video games are only for young people? Meet 85-year old gamer named Hilda Knott.
When asked by Bryony Mackenzie of BBC News what she enjoyed about video games, Hilda replied that she liked finding something in the game and enjoyed getting to the next stage. "I also like having the achievement of finishing the game." Plus, video games keep her mentally active, she said.
If you think that's cute, remember that Hilda has 40 years of gaming experience and will have absolutely no problem kicking your butt playing Call of Duty. More about Hilda over at the BBC: Link [video clip]

Oh, that would be hilarious! I'm picturing a MMORPG in which a tiny granny appears and leaves a BLOODBATH of newbs in her wake. Or perhaps a new Thu'um for Skyrim. Heh.

We need to turn Hilda Knott into a Leeroy Jenkins-styled meme :)
