She now has over 50,000 subscribers and has now started playing Fallout 4.
It's really cool that she was open to learning how to game and that her son took the time to teacher her.
ChickenFingersYT
I posted and commentated a game for 4 years and only got to 3k. My heart....
Dragonogh
EVERYONE SUBSCRIBE TO HER NOW. We're going to make this old lady's lid fucking GREAT. Get ready for the onslaught of Fallout 4 gameplay.

This is my generation's future...
AsAnAussie
I've been watching since episode 1. While she does lack gamer instincts, her viewers are very supportive and help her as much as they can.
Eldibs
She'll develop them if she keeps working at it.
Remne
Someone in the comments mentioned how especially enjoyable her videos were to them, as they're blind. She goes into such great detail. (1/2)
Remne
Shirley then replied to this comment and said she'd made a note to put in extra detail about what she was seeing for them :) (2/2)

FrostFox22
She's like a female bob ross that plays video games
ulnek
Does she talk in the videos? Could just be some kid.
thecyprus
she does full commentary, and she's done interviews. It's legit. She's a 79 year old gamer gal.
ashmenon
She talks. She starts every video with "hi grandkids". It's adorable.
Midnaspet
my grandmother has a friend who plays tribes ascend, and is top ranking in the whole game. like, calmdownoldpeople pls

I have decided that she is the Bob Ross of video games.

I have decided that this comment should have had an extra thousand upvotes. I regret that I have only one to give.

I used to watch an old guy play a game called don't starve, sadly he's dead now. r.i.p mrgmview
TheMexicanLemon
I'm a bad person, I thought you saw him die in the game and laughed. Now I know he for reals died.
DrWibbler
Wish it was like you first said.
TheLegendaryFatty
Yeah, atleast he has tons of videos so i keep watching them for help RIP
IIIIIlllIIIlIlIlllIlllIllIllIlIl
A similar situation with edarem, I loved his videos.
BewareTheJabberwockie
D= I didn't know he died thought he got tired of posting videos. I use to give him tips when he started up. =(
TheWorldMayNeverKnow
My friend was probably the biggest fan that guy had. Like a huge inspiration. He was so upset when he died.
DrWibbler
Yeah. He was one of my favourite youtubers. I remember learning the ropes of dont starve from him. I miss his videos so much.
influenza
Try watching gdace on twitch, he's a 58 year old guy who used to play tons of WoW all since beta, and is now playing csgo, he's super cool!
BIZaGoten

Haha I follow that guy. Not a big fan of csgo though. I like him

No, he just means he gets hard when he watches.

I've been attempting to teach grandma for the past 4 years how to do a google search.
whatabeautifulchaos
I still have to show my grandma how to turn off the speakerphone on her flip phone.
plutus34
My mum still telephones me to let me know she's sent me an email - SMH.
DrSC
1 gran is the IT trainer for the whole county for her charity (basically self-taught after retirement) the other bought a pc and ALL the
DrSC
accessories after her first lesson, and after the delivery guy set it up came to get me to switch it on for her. Nothing since her course.
Ehvilmonkey
3 years of teching, and we are still at double click stage. How effin hard it can be ...
killerqueen
I have an old teacher who plays videos and double clicks them (hitting play then pause), and she can't figure out why it stopped.

My grandma can't even turn the tv on without accidentally turning off the entire system 4 times

Before she died I would get a phone call for computer help almost daily from my grandma. It was frustrating but now I wish i still got them.

I've been trying for that long to teach my *mother* not to search by typing "www com" into google!
baneofthewalrus
my grandma swears and yells at me when i don't push the point in CSGO

*how to power on her laptop that she insisted on buying but never uses.
Kitastrophe
You managed to get your grandmother on a computer?
PaigeTurner777
My grandma updated from a flip phone to an iPhone 5. Any questions now get directed to Siri.
MovingtoAntarctica
My grandma made me a gamer. She has most systems, console and handheld, from the Atari on, wall of games. Loves RPGs, esp FF series.
misslola
My grandfather still can't bring up the missed calls on the cellphone he's had for 10 years.
Mayhaveshatmyself
I like when you teach them, then they install a toolbar that changes the homepage and they Google for google.
Sasarious
Can't teach those who don't wanna learn.
leontheprofessional
As someone who bought their grandparents their first computer, this is my life now.
EagleFeeler
Good on you! Be patient! They didn't grow up with computers like you did.
ArchangelsBlade
My grandma once bought a mac. It broke frequently, and she had to pay out the ass to get it fixed. If she had bought a PC instead, 1/2
ArchangelsBlade
like we told her to, my dad could have easily fixed it.
sweetnaivety
My 90 year old Grandpa has a laptop he uses just fine, he can email and skype, and even checks his bank online.
codenametrixie
Give it up. She probably found what she needed in an encyclopedia years ago. She's just humoring you now.
ArdentSlacker
My last remaining gran has given up on computer. She's legally blind and hard of hearing, so what she had, was by rote.
R0NSwanson
Have you gotten as far as explaining how to turn on the monitor?

My tech-averse mother trying to explain the Internet to my late 92-year-old grandma was one of the funniest moments of my life

My mom is like that. Technologically retarded. Google is like a bizarre concept to her.

My grandma still can't figure out how to operate my soundbar for my TV. It's really simple too. Just hit the + or - on that remote...

I know a 65 year old guy, who built his own house. Whole top floor is a designated LAN-room, for when his kids come over, so they can raid.

She also knew how to type from typewriters, but the backspace key was a miracle to her.

I have written down step by step directions on how to turn her computer on and she still can't do it.

I remember when my mum would type in alta vista (I think it was), search email, realize she needed to open outlook and then fail to sync.

You can't type "Google" into Google. You'll break the Internet.
StatisticallyInsignificantCanadian
Search results: "Type 'Google' again. Type 'Google' again. I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, type Google one more Goddamn time!"
Stewker
The reason that is a thing is people type google into their address bar. Most address bars are tied to google search. People dont realize it

Except when you expect that they are and it isn't; its fucking AVG search, or whatever the fuck that shit is

Where I live Mabel is more of a cow name. It's always hilarious to hear about some Mabel and boom it's a person not a walking dairy station
Khyrberos
Why not both?
Akenatyl
A walking dairy station posessing a human face?
Mokthol
Mabel accompanies every elderly person. At a certain age, you're assigned a Mabel and she stays with you forever.
