Known online as Gamer Grandma, 80-year-old Shirley Curry has won the hearts of 250.000 subscribers.
She has managed to come out on top in a world unimaginably different to the one she grew up in.
Shirley's love for gaming was sparked in the mid-90s when her son installed her first computer, along with a copy of seminal strategy game Civilization II. She obsessively worked her way through the entire franchise until Skyrim brought her addiction to a whole new level and introduced her to the world of YouTube gaming.
Grandma Gamer most popular Skyrim series, with over 300 videos:
As more and more YouTubers become household names, Shirley's story of stumbling into overnight fame by pursuing a niche hobby is rare. But fame has not come tax-free. Most of her waking hours are now spent recording gameplay, fielding emails, responding to comments, and keeping up to date with other YouTubers' content.
Now that is a life and way to spend your retirement days :D
