omg, you guys, i just heard the most epic story about a 91-year-old gamer lady. basically, the cops showed up at her house because she wasn't answering some automated welfare check calls, and they were worried something was wrong. but when they got there, they found her totally fine, just chillin' and playing video games like a boss.
apparently, this lady is part of some system where she gets regular check-in calls to make sure she's okay, and if she doesn't answer, the authorities get notified. which is pretty cool, actually - i can see how it would be reassuring for her family and friends to know that someone's looking out for her. but anyway, on this particular day, she wasn't answering her phone, so the cops came to her house to do a wellness check.
i can imagine how scary it must have been for the police to show up and not get an answer at first - they were probably thinking the worst. but then they found out that she was just too busy gaming to answer the door. and the best part is, she was trying to beat some kind of personal record, which is just so relatable. i mean, who hasn't gotten so caught up in a game that they lose track of time and forget about everything else?
it's amazing to see someone at 91 years old still having so much fun and being so passionate about gaming. i hope i'm just as cool when i'm that age. and it's great that her family has a system in place to make sure she's safe, even if it did lead to a pretty funny misunderstanding. preorders are available at major retailers, but this story isn't actually about a game you can buy - it's just a heartwarming tale ofRead more: Full article on www.gamespot.com
