Grandpa graced my YT short feed and I instantly subscribed. I'm 48 and will continue to game until the good Lord takes me. Game on Grandpa, game on!
Same grandpa is the goat
I first saw some of his sniper shorts and was instantly hooked!!! Of course I had to subscribe!!
I'm 48 aswell. My dad bought a Atari console 84 and we played it way to much. Since then I love gaming. I will never stop :)
LOL!! i am 44 and did the same. BATTLE FIELD is where it is!!
Same! I´ve been binge watching the VoD´s all day
Go Grandpa.. US NAVY.. Corpsman.. I still play at 55 years old.. GTA 5 and COD 3 and 4.. My grand kids are not old enough yet to play
Hell yeah Doc!
Hey man, in fairness when CoD 3 and 4 came out as with GTAV you were over 10 years younger. Keep them gears grinding man. You just need a little faith, Arthur! I have a plan.
start them early with mario :D
@@TactiSmolKoko no with cod 1 gotta start them off right
What about COD 5? Many COD players regard WaW as the best COD you have to play that one too.
62 year old gamer here.. starting with Pong and never stopped. Started my YT channel when I retired at 60, its been a blast feeling the same thrills as I did playing Asteroids in the 70s. YOu are an inspiration... keep it goin! :)
Me too. Pong first when I was, what, ten? And then pinball and arcade games in the 70's (thank god for pinball, Missile Command, Galaga and the like because I got decent enough to actually hustle it a bit at my university bar--made my rent some months but at least a beer or two!) Still game a bunch but some hand issues are starting to affect the game. Whatever. Always something out there. Adapt. Cheers!
@@Buzzkill-wn7tf I had to switch to a vertical mouse from my rollerball , made a big difference in hand and finger numbness...just took some getting used to
@@ajc5930 Always!
I'm a younger gentleman just turned 22, been playing games since 2009, man I must say you've seen the golden days of gaming. I'm almost jealous, I gotta ask tho, how do you feel seeing how advanced games have gotten? Must be caring to see games like red dead 2, and gta 5 look so goof when you were playing pong and donkey Kong in the golden days
@@urmum5211 Honestly, its pretty amazing how far things have come... and ... how much they have stayed the same. Each year.. theres a new mega hyped game.. that breaks barriers in play style or graphix, that launches to bugs and glitches... It may or may not ever get fixed... but the funny thing for me is that people act like this is a recent phenomena. Pushing code to its limits means you are always gonna be going into the great unknown, whether it Atari Pitfall, Tribes, Planetside, Bioshock.. or RD2, Cyperpunk and Ark Ascended. But as long as there are devs out there willing to try something new, I'll be there to play it :)
Thank you for your service. Really enjoy watching you play great channel.
This person adaptating to technology is very admirable this tells you that he is not a stagnant person and he keeps pushing forward
He's a pod person (probably like you). Sitting down all day is the root cause of his issues. He's just making things worse.
@@BlackRain_ well i rather be like him than to be like you, youre a negative person
@@angeloflores2614 Please do. Please keep doing exactly what he is doing!
@@angeloflores2614 Please do carry on being like him! Stay in your pod, eat your bugs!
@@BlackRain_ you are so lonely i pity you. So much negative around thats why your lonely
I completely agree. I'm 70 and have been gaming for many years. Only first person shooters. JayDog. I am slowing down and spending more time with my Ham radios, N6WIP and am now in VR using the Quest 3. My doctor told me it is ok to play because it will keep my eye-hand-mind coordination up. Best words I ever heard. Cheers GrndaGaming 🙂
You should also get into streaming, I love the fact you Ole timers are doing this.. It's amazing and badass! Game on sir! Respect
Thank you. I used to stream on TWITCH but a few youngsters made fun of an old retired guy streaming while playing Ghost recon Wildlands, Sniper Elite (All of them) Battlefield (again, all of them) and several other FPSers. Thanks for the note. Made my day. Guess I'll have to fire them up again. Cheers@@Rockfordfosgate3406
I love that the older folks aren't dismissing new tech and culture! Really dope to see you get into VR
I have autoimmune disease and feel pain every second of my life. Seeing someone who escape from pain the same way I do and describe it with exactly the same words I do makes me feel I am not alone. Thx.
Hope for you the best stay strong and frag them all :) GReetings
Gramps you made my day, i too am a gamer myself and i lost my own grandpa due to heart complications but I'm truly glad to have you now, watching you play these games is like a joyful ride, you bring people happiness and thank you for your service....and i love you ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your service. I watch your streams with my step dad who served as a marine. We love to see how much you've already grown and we can't wait to see you take off more! Sending love from Wisconsin!!
It's amazing how games can transport you to another place and just let you disconnect from whatever troubles you may have for awhile. Keeps me sane in this stressful world we live in.
Thank you for your service. It's really fun watching you enjoy many of the same games I do! Hope things get better with the pain
Hats off to you, Sir! I am a young veteran and I must say you have been a blessing in my feed and an inspiration!Thank you for your service!
Being 52 years old myself, I can relate. I have worked construction my whole life and my body hurts all the time, every day. I have been gaming since the Pong days all the way to the present. Keep on going sir, you are a great man, and a good gamer. I will play video games until the day I die.
This is so entertaining! I'm 38 and I'm loving this. I wish all the old timers would be open to this
Now I know what my generation of Grandpas would look like! You really entertained me even at my most lonely days. Thank you Grandpa! I have never experienced what its like to have a grandfather, so I declare you my long lost granpa from far away.
You got a young soul my friend. Your content is great and hilarious.
Please believe me, you’ve been seen as far more than merely a blip on the radar. From a Gen Z-er, for whatever thats worth, it’s exciting, comforting, and more than a pleasure to see you - particularly at your age - enjoy gaming like so many of us do. Keep going as your health allows!!!
I'm not a gamer and honestly get stressed when I watch people play games, but I absolutely adore this man and am so happy he receives so much love and support. Please take care, Grndpa and all the veterans out there. We love you, and thank you for every sacrifice you and your family have made for our country.
Lord please keep this man with us as long as possible. People like this man keep hope in this world alive
Wow what a story.. Served in Vietnam and met the legendary Carl Brashear! 😮 (for you young kids.. Lookup movie "Men of Honor"). Thank you for your service and thank you for the content / livestreams :)
Truly thank you for your service. I'm only 24 but I've been gaming all my life and this is truly inspiring. I really wish more people had access to gaming or access to more information about how to get into it because you're an example of how much it can change someone's life. Keep up the awesome work!
Im not from the U.S, but my respect and love for you is high. Thank you so much for being with us and we appreciate you so much!
You're still a young man at heart ❤️
My second favourite gramps. Ha
May God bless and keep you and yours safe.
Blessings from the uk
Keep it up grandpa ❤ you’re so strong! Thank you for your service to our country ❤
Grandpa gaming is probably one of the best gamers I watch and I look up to him whenever I play all of these fps games because he's incredibly good at them and I sometimes I just get this feeling that he's going to be at the very top of streaming and gaming one day. Keep putting in the hard work grandpa 👍
Thsnk you for your service Grandpa! Love your channel!
Grateful for your service. As a Marine vet, I fully relate to your chronic pain, from my neck down, to all extremities, numbness, and pain that never fully turns off. Thank you for the content, really the inspiration to unapologetically to do the things that brings me joy, but I pray your health is well and big dubs on the field
Caught a GG short on RUclips of BF2042 Sniping and bought the game the same day. And started following the channel, keep it up grandpa! You’re killing it!

Grandpa, from one squid to another; thank you. You got me back to BF. Haven't played since the height of BF1. You and another guy were gaming and both of you were talking about how BF 2042 got a lot better and I checked it out. Glad I did.
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your videos and your sense of humor. I saw the video for Privateer and realized i knew that game. That is a awesome game! Keep having fun!
Ty for sharing Grandpa. I'm a US Army veteran and got into gaming to distract myself from pain as well. So glad you're enjoying it. My best to you and your family. Ty for your service.
I first saw his videos on TikTok and I'm so glad I did, his laugh is contagious! You keep on runnin and gunnin Grandpa!

Thank you for your service. You are so cool. I've lost my grandpa, but it would have been so fun to hang out and share something like this with him.
I just lost my grandpa 8 months ago and when I found this guy he’s got the same laugh as my gramps and hooked me with his crazy snipes and the enjoyment I see you get from this game is so cool man. Keep on killing it Gpa you bring a smile to my face every single day. Stay safe 🙏
I suffer from chonic pain and just like you, getting into a game and just shutting the world out is sometimes the only thing that helps. I'm so glad I stumbled across you today.
you are an absolute badass! All the best, thanks for doing what you do, it warms my heart when you pop up in my feed
Love your content grandpa. Keep doing you we are all here cheering for you. We all appreciate your service.

Grandpa first and foremost I just wanna say thank you for your service, secondly I wanna say I love you and your content. Seeing your videos just make me happy and gives me hope for some reason.Signed your 27 yr old RUclips Grandson
I love what you do and im sorry about the pain you go through.. im so sorry for what happened to you in that incident. But im glad your doing better and you've found a way to help!
This made me smile so much. Blessings Grandpa from the U.K. I will definitely be subscribing to your twitch. I wish you nothing but good health and happiness

I just discovered this channel, ive watched a few of your videos and you play soo good! Better than me lmao. Thank you for your service grandpa! Im an Airforce vet too, but your experience is as a veteran is truly inspiring than mine!
Grandpa!! its great to see your setup and hear your story. I messed my back up like 6 years ago and fought with bulging disks for years, then found this one chair on amazon. Its like a mesh desk chair for like 250$ and half an hour in it every day and literally no pain anymore. it helped so much. IDK if that helps anyone out there, but my physio guy said sometimes its just the chair you sit in. Thank you for everything you do and keep on keepin on
Thank you for your service sir. Bless your soul.
You're amazing keep doing what you're doing and you're story is inspiring don't be scared of death live life to the full
