I think this is crazy, hopefully someone beside me will get a kick out of this.
My Dad is 71 years old.
My Dad is into video games. Has been since Zelda when I was a kid. He's getting Fallout Fable III and the new AC from me for Christmas.
My Dad beats games to death when he gets into them. He is playing Dead Rising 2.
He is ranked #109 in the world in total winnings for TIR (online segment of the game) on the xbox 360 version.
Now keep in mind total winnings does not mean he is good, just that he plays a lot. But that's crazy.
Additional LOL to the story, I was talking to him and he was all upset he got beat in an online game by "CrazyGranny69" and he was really down that a 69 year old woman stomped him. I was like "I don't think it's a 69 year old Grandma. There aren't a lot of seniors playing this game." He felt better when I explained possible meaning behind the name. (after a brief moment of disgust)
I didn't believe him, I figured he was misreading something. I checked and it's true.
He has over $8.2 mil in winnings ... Might mean something to people who play the game
