Video games are often seen as a medium for children and teenagers, but there are some video games that have a reach that far exceeds their target demographic. The game “Skyrim” is one of these games, and had a massive spike in popularity back in 2011 when it was released. “Skyrim” has even found its way to 80 year-old Shirley Curry, who has been uploading to YouTube consistently since 2015.

Curry is destroying two stigmas: the first being that video games purely appeal to children, and, more importantly, that older people can never understand modern technology. Those who view Curry’s videos will find that she’s actually pretty good at “Skyrim,” and has uploaded over 300 gameplay videos with a large majority of them being over twenty minutes long.

Curry also has a lighthearted sense of humor in her commentary, and tries to interact with all of her followers. She jokingly refers to her fans as her ‘grandkids,’ and her fans in turn refer to her as ‘Grandma Curry.’

Curry also has a PO Box where fans can send her letters and art. She also has a Facebook page, a Twitter account, an Instagram account, and even a Steam group. However, it’s impossible for Curry to respond to every fan, because she now has over 200,000 YouTube subscribers.

She has recently seen a spike in popularity with “Skyrim” getting all-new attention from it’s remastered re-release last month. She has even been awarded YouTube’s ‘Silver Play Button,’ which is awarded to YouTube users for having a high subscriber count.

While Skyrim is Curry’s favorite game, she often plays other things as well such as “No Man’s Sky,” “Civilization,” and “Ark.” However, Curry is very particular about what games she plays. Curry says in her profile description, “I only like real people/movie type games. I’ve tried other kinds of games but I don’t enjoy them.”
