Keeping Mentally Active with Games

Usually when video games pop up on the news, it's something bad.  Either someone has been killed or horribly injured and "these horrible violent video games are to blame", but not this time!  Check this shit out!

This was a news report I came across last month, about an 80 something year old woman who enjoys the shit out of some video games.  You'll have to forgive the BBC for talking about tablet and phone games like they matter, but it's nice to hear some good news for once.

One of the reasons she enjoys playing games so damn much is because she claims they keep her mentally active so this little news video is especially relevant to this blog since I'm trying to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.

Finally, before anyone asks, yes, that is Disgaea she is playing in the picture.  This old woman has really good taste if you ask me, we need more old people like this.  So if you're worried about losing your marbles in your old age, grab a controller because it sure as hell works for this lady.
