they said they’d make her an npc?
when, tell me everything, i legit love her channel.
@@maskedkittyMC yeah for the elder scrolls 25th anniversary. Check it out the graphics are gone be insanr
But I hope she'll be able to play TES VI
I hope she’s around for it. Hell I wonder if I will be..
@@Solidsteakx none of us will be, not even my grandkids
Thank you so much Gamuementary!!! I was scared that people might not like it, but they seemed to didn't they! lol I loved it!! Everyone did a great job!!
You have such a beautiful sense of imagination and it makes me happy. People always say grow up but why cant people be grown up and have a wonderful imagination?
This was wonderful! YOU were wonderful! Enjoyed it so much, I've already watched it twice!
Absolutely loved it, very inspiring. And please don't feel like you can't go to conventions. I know I would be honored to escort and help you attend one if you needed it and I would be willing to bet that there are plenty of people in your life that would feel the same way.
This was such a wonderful documentary. You are so well spoken and I love how you see the best in everything and everyone! Thank you for doing what you do!
JstLink was just thinking the same thing!
That moment when Grandma has a better gaming setup than you do.
she did say her son set up the system for her, i don't know if her son has any kids....i saw her channel got featured on comment awards
May May What episode i wanna see. :D
I thought I was the only one lmao love her tho
;(
ouch
"why arent you in a rocking chair knitting"
"i dont like to knit" *laughs hysterically*
Exactly xD
Unless she is knitting a scarf for her pet Dragon
Knitting a cover to keep the weather off my bow.
She does knit, it is just that she knits stories rather than cloth.
I had a similar reaction when I attended PaxPrime one year. From the 1960’s I started playing military board games from companies such as Avalon Hill and Simulation Productions (SPI). Later the original white box edition of D&D even the original Zelda on the TRS 80.
Kid: *starts cussing at grandma*
Her entire fanbase: "YOU PICKED THE WRONG GRANDMA FOOL!"
"Never should've come here"
All we had to do was quit the Fortnite sonny
Gyberious do you mean
“ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS QUIT FORTNITE SONNY!!!”
in Big Smoke’s Voice?
I imagine big smoke kneecapping a child while a grandmother watches in the backround
“THU’UM”
I want to be like Shirley when I grow up! #LifeGoals
ESO, I found her through your channel! I am a 55yr old gamer. My daughter got me into RPGs playing DAO.
@@wandachapman7712 dao best rpg in my opinion the character development is top notch in that game
Hope it works out for you eso
Right what a fucking legend
She is so wholesome!
The fact that she calls her viewers "grandkids" just lifts my soul
Kailani and all her viewers call her grandma, I love the community she has. So wholesome.
She is such a beautiful person.
Yea, it feels nice.. especially to those that no longer have grandparents (me)
I have to smile EVERYTIME No matter I feel
If her sons don't take her to conventions imma throw hands.
yeah was about to comment the same thing
Agreed
She's going to do a panel at pax east I can't wait to meet her!
She's always at conventions lol She speaks and everything
*Haters being mean to Shirley 2015*
*2019 fans: never should have come here*
*combat music plays*
Pulls back bow and aims at haters
Tea
You picked a bad time to get lost, friend
I am crying laughing. This comment deserved 1000000000 likes.
Grandma is keeping her brain active. Video games are fantastic to stay sharp, faster decision making, reflexes, etc. More older people should be playing video games.
It's the same reason a lot of old people play card games. Don't hack the analog way ;)
My grandma is someone who gave me a love for games of all kinds!
I'm in my 50s and have played on line for years. It is such a kick when my son (who lived across USA from me) invited me to join him playing WOW. It took the guild a while to adjust but it was great! Occasionally, I would get a whisper from a curious gamer asking if I was really a female AND a mom.
And yes, I've run across my share of trolls.
I have quit in the last 4 years due to it being time to step up and help care for my 84 year old father. I miss playing deeply and often dream of the day I can return to gaming.
Who knows! By the time I get back,
maybe I'll be the next Grandma Shirley. I think I would like that.
My grandma used to be the same, every birthday and christmas we kids would buy her fantasy books like Eragon or Harry Potter because she loved them. Some day she told me not to bother anymore because she stopped being able to remember all the names T^T Damn, that made me really sad. But she still always has her Nintendo 3DS right next to her TV chair :)
I got to disagree heavily. Sports and outdoor movement are 10 times better than sitting down inside. Especially for physical health, which is directly connected to mental health.
@@druidofthefang Why not both? It's not like they're exclusive, and games are definitely better than e.g. watching TV, especially if there's a social and/or creative component with making videos and interacting with her audience.
She likely has a lot of free time, and so she could do hours of both each day.
She should be headmaster of an orphanage in TES6. A loving woman who calls all the kids "grandkids" and always greets them with "Good Morning grandkids" and they all respond "Good morning grandma!!". But she has a secret life as monsterslayer you can have as a companion!
DarkMage1972 someone should make this a skyrim mod for the orphanage too
@@abigaileldritch I hope this is not a spoiler for you, but the dragonborn has to kill Grelod the Kind. Unless you mean the other lady.
DarkMage1972 that’s why grandma needs to be a mod- do you understand? So she can take over the orphanage? The other lady can just be taken out she doesn’t matter
@@abigaileldritch ah yes, the other lady is Constance Michel, she can be modded into grandma Shirley so she takes over the orphanage, excellent!
Yes!! Make sure the developers see this!!
I'm a Nana & I play video games, have for 20 yrs. The Sims series, Skyrim, & Fallout are my favorites. My kids used to watch me play, my grandkids grew up sitting next to me while I played. I play with my adult kids now. Younger co-workers are amazed when they find out, but the response has always been super positive. Keep on gaming Grandma! We love you!!
Hey! My mom is 67 and has been playing games for the past 25 years. Something I have always loved about her (well... unless she was stealing 'my' game time xD) and been proud to say to anyone. So many cool memories together.
Keep on gaming Lisa! :)
@@InsoIence”Grandma told me it’s my turn to play.” -Your mother probably
Shirley is a treasure. I started watching her Skyrim videos when Skyrim came out on the Nintendo Switch. I thought the game might be too much for me but after watching Shirley play for a week or so, I decided I could do that too 😊
I'm glad you're starting your own adventure! The gaming community needs more gamers like you :)
Watch the skies, traveler
May your roads lead you to warm sands.
Good for you!
You go Grandma! :)
AWESOME!!!
"He got up the hill and a big frost troll came and killed him."
Well ya know, life do be like that. Your wife divorces you, takes the house, you leave and dismiss your followers, and then a frost troll comes up and slays you. This truly hits home for me.
Goddamn trolls lol
I’ve had the original copy of your profile picture saved on my computer for around 9 years now... feels good to see it enjoyed by someone else
@@tygarner9142 Wanderer above the Sea of Fog? But as pixel art. That's pretty cool!
She turns a brutal game about murdering bandits and dragons into a lovely fantasy world about telling stories that make people happy
Not really
(Edit) : and yes I have played the game, and I still wouldn't call it brutal
@@gothgoat4600 have you ever played skyrim
It isn't a brutal game
@@DankSpoony of course I did, but I wouldn't call it brutal
@@DankSpoony Skyrim and brutal? LUL maybe with a bunch of mods yeah it can be made brutal but the base game is nowhere near 'brutal' lmao

Don't Reply beat me to it 😂
Hmm. My face literally hurts. Also teared up a bit. I mean it's great that she will be a character in tes 6, but i hope she gets to play it.
"How can you beat that game, it goes on forever" - she's a true gamer, and a true Skyrim-fan :D
That's the truth!
A true nord lady
She may be the last dovah
There is no straight face or frowning when you watch Skyrim Grandma. She always brings a smile to all of her grandkids!
There is tears of joy though 😰😰
There is that sad realization that she won't be around forever.
CleanserOfNoobs that’s what get me upset, but they’re planing on making her in ES6
@@bluemonmon5204 they scanned her into the game, yeah.
She really does
She is more of a gamer than MOST people nowadays. Games are meant to be played at your own pace, and at your own ways where many players have missed the point about gaming.
They blotted out all the people’s names who insulted her because they knew we would all take up metaphorical arms in defense
Nishadog Nishadog
Metaphorical?
I guarantee guns were loaded right then and there. No one insults grandma!

"When i first started". To say something like that at 83, isn't life beautiful?
It brings sadness to my soul that the internet can be so mean to this sweet grandmother..
Sadly that's how it is. They will wish death and cancer upon you, but when you meet face to face they are too scared to even say anything
Don't let the bad overshadow the good. It's very easy to over value the negatives in life over the positives. Horrible things happen EVERYWHERE, but should be let decide how the world is for us?
While that is true I would also like to think about the 500 thousend people who are nice and supportive. And I would think that Shirley would to.
I know its fucked up but i cant help but chuckle at most of them
"i don't like the story because i like my own stories" what an absolute queen
Love my Skyrim Grandma.
Thank you so much!! Glad to see you here!
Hi Camel! Hi Grandma!
Shirley reminds me so much of my grandma who taught me how to play Pacman as a lil kid. She didn't get into games like Skyrim but she definitely loved Pacman, Mario, Zelda... It's incredibly wholesome to see someone with that kind grandmotherly aura about them share that love of gaming. :) So yes, it's very easy to fall in love with grandma's personality.
She called u out abt the name mister camol
As a 60+ year old WoW player, I'm following in her footsteps. Go Shirley!
Kerry Cutler o my gosh you look so YOUNG! ❤️💕 game ON !
Gods, I miss WoW! I'm a female gamer in my late 50s and know it sorta fallen out of favor, but I could solo for days. The graphics are so beautiful, after a full day at work IRL I would roam the country side ig and enjoy the solitude. Do a little farming, do a little battle, do a little crafting.
Sigh, good times good times.
My Guildmaster is a 62 year young lady from Montreal. I copy/paste this video in our Discord :)
You don't look it at all Kerry 😁
And you, cind lady, have earned a subscriber! So glad te see people in best years enjoying gaming. We will proove that games can be art!
I'm 34. After watching me play Breath of the Wild for months, I finally got my mom to try it at 71 years old. She was convinced she would die the first time something attacked her, but she didn't. She killed it, and she was hooked. I posted about it on my blog, and it skyrocketed overnight. I haven't gotten a single negative comment on it, and my mom has gotten nothing but love and encouragement on her adventures.
I spent weeks letting her run around and practice on my 100% file, posting updates every so often, and last month she finally started her own file. It's been a co-op playthrough with me doing the things that are still just a little too difficult for her, and we've been having a blast together. She decided she wants to be part of the 900 Club and get all 900 Korok seeds like I did, and we've gotten over 150 so far over 40+ hours.
When she was unsure about trying the game, I told her about Grandma and that made her give it a go. I'm going to show her this documentary now so she can know more about Grandma. 😊
Kristin Bergh This is so great!!
Great for both of you. ☺
Kristin Bergh well done 😎
I would be so so so happy if I could have Shirley as a follower in the next Elder Scrolls game. She would totally stop you and say "just look at that view. Wow." :) :)
Just like Inigo does, when he says, "Look at the stars!". LOL
Has to be an archer character! She favors the bow!!
Shirley Curry exactly!
Allison Cornell an archer, eh? ;)
Rachael -I used up all my data on Skyrim screenshots.-
I think people compared her to Bob Ross because she's also an artist. Her paintbrush is a mouse and keyboard and her canvas is Skyrim. Love you, Shirley!
And She's SO SO positive! Everything is good around Her, She makes everyone happier.
She is a true inspiration to all ages!
I guess were all bob ross then
I would compare her to Mr. Rogers. Never seen any of her letsplays but she kinda has the same personality
her roleplaying in the game is so nice to listen to and it opens a new perspective that you normally wouldn't notice in usual lets pay videos
And here we have Facebook moms saying “video games causes violence”.
This video is proof that video games makes kindness in the world not voilence
People who insult our gamer grandma is the cause of our violence
@@denzellizasuain563 dude exactly!
Bruh I still can't convince my grandma that games aren't causing shooters like Fox news keeps trying to tell people
Bublee, Next time she says Video Games causes violence just say “If there was no school there would be no school shootings”. Lol
man, when you sacrifice everything to start a new life but an Ice Troll kills you, tough break
Kevin Ferguson isn’t that yhorm the giant..?poor guy help his people but his own people turn on him..yhorm has scarifies a lot for his people but no one appreciate him..
Yes
Until fire rained down on them and they retreated to his throneroom.
Mood
Karma.
Grandma: I like it when it shows the kill cam...
SAVAGERY LEVEL 5000
I remember when she found a couple of giant spiders in a cell and started shooting at them like fish in a barrel while cackling 😆
What a coincidence I landed on this comment just as she said it in the video
lol
Right? Jesus Christ Grandma.
Bethesda you'd best get your best guards of each of the nine holds to escort Grandma Shirley to conventions because we need her.
Omgitsacripple and dragon born in disguise
the fact that she calls her viewers "grandkids" i think is also part of the appeal. so many people don't have parents or grandparents that treated them kindly in their youth, and it brings a lot of us comfort to be spoken to so gently and lovingly. grandma shirley is a gem, such a beautiful hilarious soul.
This is good because there's no Gameumentary dude's face on screen or voice-over. It's all about Shirley telling her story, not this channel telling it.
A good interviewer listens.
IKR! I wish other channels understand we don’t want those cheesy voice overs or cliche dialogue
It’s edited by the producers but i agree
Break in grandmas house
Grandma: “never should have come here”
Little sprout head
argum zeneu 😂😂😂😂😂👍
And then she makes some tea and have honest, life-changing conversation with the burglar convincing him to be better and making him cry like a little kid in the process.

*whisles “KARHJO!”
“I love it when it shows the killcam” YAS GET IT GRANDMA!! 💖
ahahah **wipes happy tear**
Lmao. Beat me to it. She had me dead!!!
"I love it when it shows a killcam." Best. Grandma. Ever.
Grandma Shirley is just... nice. She's a genuinely nice person, and it's sad how rare that is, especially on the internet, which can be a toxic pit of misery at the best of times. I hope she's healthy and happy and gets to play Elder Scrolls VI, and I hope she's able to attend a few more conventions, given how enthusiastic she is about them.
Great job with the documentary, guys. The presentation, the music, everything was perfect. Here's hoping there's more of the same on the way.
Shirley is just pure joy to watch on RUclips and sometimes talk with on twitter.
Im very happy she is a part of our little online community.
Thank you so much!!! :)
Woa, its Rebelzize!
Rebelzize not really little
👀i wont tell if you wont tell
It's a huge community my friend.
I love how she has regular grandma things like vases, plants but then there’s a Skyrim pop and manual
awesome grandma, I am a old gamer just turned 56, skyrim rocks, I also play fallout, and others
Never too old to enjoy some gaming!
It's not just for fun or enjoyment, it's about learning these amazingly designed worlds and experiencing the unique aspects that goes into each one. I hope your having fun too though!
@@PoorEdward I play Final Fantasy XIV with a guy in his 70s, his doctor encouraged him. Having a diverse community I think helps people build social skills.
@@Gee-xb7rt personally I don't even think diversity matters; no matter if your black, 80 years old, it doesn't matter to me, what matters is who's behind that mere body. But I do agree it does help minorities feel more comfortable if they perceive the world differently or are sensitive
I'm 63 and Skyrim is insanely enjoyable.
Who needs the Thieves Guild when you're a part of a quilting guild?
In ES6 she better be master quilter
Man the Ben cult is all the way out here.
Amen to that, I'm joining it ,:)
Damn, this is like a year's supply of wholesomeness here.
"I speak to them like a grandma would to a child with no brains" omg I love her so much! Hahaha! Amazing work on this documentary. Thank you so much!
That was perfect!😂
That was my favorite part! lol
Regarding two comments Shirley made;
People don't watch you because you're old :( Sure, it might be the novelty that makes them curious and brings them in, but the reason they stay is because you're a wonderful person. And you're very young at heart, in my opinion.
The comparisons to Bob Ross is because you're a positive person, and watching your videos can be very therapeutic and calming.
I don't even want to acknowledge the people leaving mean comments, I'm just happy Shirley can brush them off, and that it never discouraged her from continuing to play and record.
Lastly, if this lady was my mom I'd happily accompany her to any convention, and I hope one of her sons can do the same.
Amen!
Shirley's troll protection: 100%
Too bad her characters don't have the same

@@Batnano ruclips.net/video/YU0yBm1hdZU/видео.html
@@holdmybeer I thought there were just too many Skyrim videos, couldn't see the reason to make another. But I have though of making one explaining how to play some games, for older people. Things younger people think are obvious never occurred to me when starting some games. And from watching some of Shirley's Friday Grabbag, I find I'm not alone.
Imagine if she try The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild now, she’s gonna have an absolute blast! The exploration and scenery in that game is amazing.
Imagine if she try Daggerfall back when it was released
Or the witcher
She doesn't have a switch though 😭 someone buy grandma a switch
Her story about her first character getting killed by a frost troll was hilarious LOL. That's like George R R Martin level of storytelling. I love her wish she was my Grandma!
Wow wait she played permadeath? Daaaamn Shirley that's impressive.
Shirley's out here showing us gamers HOW IT'S DONE.
Meanwhile game journos complain that games are too hard lel
And Katamet had 2 companions and a shit load of gold and gear, so he lasted alive quite a while
I should do a permadeath Skyrim game.
I don't really know why, but as a 33 year old man, with Skyrim as one of my all time favourite games, i spent the whole video crying tears of happiness - thank you for making this video.
Exactly!! I'm 46 and been gaming my whole life, and this video had me feeling all kinds of ways.
I'm not alone.
Same.
Same, kiddo.
Grandma is incredibly wholesome.
I liked that she creates her own stories.
Right. I love how calm and great she truly is
Yes and it is a talent in my eyes. I played skyrim once, 100% on one character in story mindset, for months, loved it but i lost my file and cant start up new one anymore bevause i feel like i know it all and dont have the imagination to experience it differently.
Absolutely loved it when she said ‘i love it when I get a killcam’ that was golden
"so i learned to answer them politely like a grandmother would say something to a child that didn't have any brains." OOOF that was savage.
So savage and yet so sweet ❤
Destruction 100
13:23 "I love it when it shows the killcam" that made me giggle, thank you for that
me too, that made me chuckle.
Aw she is so sweet and an awesome human being. Forcing herself to keep playing when she’s tired, because she thinks sad children are depending on her. It sure got me to tears. I hope she has a great life still in front of her and that she finds a balance in playing and interacting.
Shirley reminds me of Mr. Rogers or Bob Ross. Just a wonderful person.
I know right??? She is awesome :)
She’s really wholesome
I know this is a late reply and unrelated but I like your fiasco fox pfp
Very interesting comparisons, because I personally find all three that you mentioned very soothing to listen to. Kinda like ASMR, or what I call lullaby shows. Just very relaxing, whether I'm actively watching or falling asleep to them.
I'm so glad my internet travels have brought me to Gramma Shirley. She's my third favorite gramma! ;)
@@jaerivus I wanted to use the same analogy, but wasn't sure if it was appropriate since ASMR seems to be for people who are pretending the RUclipsr is their significant other (or at least that's my impression of it). But we can pretend she's our grandma!✨
I love the way she plays games, like how instead of just, "New game! Let's beat it!" She plays making stories that no one could have ever thought of!
yeah this video is so sweet, before my dad passed away, he used to play gta 5 all day, which im not sure if that was good for him, he came up with the story that he was gonna be a criminal lord and he never stopped playing that game.
Shirley just announced her retirement from gaming videos
This was the first time I heard of Shirley
She’s a wonderful person and she changed the Skyrim community forever!
Happy retirement Shirley!
I like how Shirley makes her different profiles into works of fiction. Very imaginative.
Shirley: Member of The Dark Brotherhood, The Thieves Guild, and The Quilting Guild :)
And the Inigo Fan Club, haha
I don’t like tah nyit
I love that she's become so popular. Breaking stereotypes and adding to the immersive role play gaming world--it's hard to find good RUclipsrs for that.
Who in their right mind could say cruel things to this nice, caring woman? That's just it, those people don't have a right mind, they're nut jobs. She's so sweet.
That’s it guys, next convention she goes to we will make a protective circle around our Grandma Shirley! If she is tired we will be her chair, if she trips we will catch her, if she is sad we will cheer her up, and we will protect her from all the haters!

Sometimes I feel bad that I don't watch her videos often enough, because she is clearly putting in lot's of effort into the storytelling and nice gameplay footage. Good work grandma, keep it up, we love you!
ah, it makes me smile to learn grandma Shirley is a quilter too...my memere introduced me to quilting a couple years ago and whenever I play skyrim I've been adding a few more stitches every time there's a loading screen
Good idea! I drink coffee during loading screens and while my character mines!! LOL

She slays them dragons from the bac

omg that would be epic!
at least I hope that Todd will make that follower inspired in Shirley
Yasssss!!!! Love this idea
The story she made with her first character and how he just wanted to find a life alone after his heartbreak made me feel a certain way damn
I love how grandma Shirley has realized how her gaming Avenue can be used as such a positive influence on a younger generation. A modern day "Mr Rogers" if you will.
I'm not crying. You're crying. But really, I love Shirley. This woman is amazing in so many special ways.
You're right. Definitely crying. No shame.
Yes I am crying. Very manly tears of joy
We all have to admit. This is the coolest grandma ever!
I hadn't heard of her till recently, this is so ridiculously wholesome. I just lost my last grandparent a couple months back, and this is just great to see.
M. Gilley I’m sorry for your loss.
I just lost my grandmother a few months ago. I understand. :(
In a world of non-sense and toxicity (especially in the gaming world) I'm glad someone like you is here, Shirley.
April 2nd is my Grandma's birthday. She passed away several years ago...but her Spirit is alive always with Skyrim Grandma !!! ❤ Happy Birthday Grandma...I Love and Miss you !! ❤
Gamers also get older.. Us that started gaming in the 80´s and still game we do age too and are now past 35 and 40yo.. But its true we do get forgotten by the younger generation and the game devs., i read somewhere a while back that the Average gamer age is like 34-35... It can only be there because of older gamers.. Much love and respect from Denmark.
Cheers from the USA....from a 47 year old gamer! o7
It used to be that gamers over 20, certainly over 30 were stigmatised because isn't that for kids, shouldn't you be worrying about adult things like taxes and mortgages and the impending heat death of the universe of whatever. That's why games are such a great escape, because we do worry, and you can take care of your adult life and game.
We've known that for a while now, time to extend it to older folks who game, because you're right, the old guard from the 80's and 90's aren't getting any younger themselves.
I love how she begins with *Good Morning Grand kids*
This made me feel really happy, but also brought a tear to my eye. She's amazing.
I hope this old lady plays a huge role in the next elder scrolls game
Ive never cared for immortal npcs but if she isn't I'ma riot
I hope we can have her as a follower and bring her with us on quests.
She’s going to be in it actually!
I just hope she gets to play TES6 🥲🥲🥲
She's so wholesome!!! The Bridge of the Generations: Shirley Curry.
"I love it when it shows the killcam!"
Okay calm down granny
Grandma can do what she pleases.
I love when it shows the killcam too. XD
Grandma has precisely 0 chill
SAVAGE
The entire gaming industry will come to a standstill when she passes. Hopefully that'll be a veryyyy long time from now.
Shirly is an icon. I thought I was an older gamer at 53, but I now know I am a spring chicken...lol. I was enthralled and thrilled when I first heard about her channel.
Maybe you should start a channel 😅 get a headstart.
Im 15 and I miss my grandmother just by watching her.. can't believe other people didn't know how to respect their elders... makes me feel disappointed with their parents also..
You're a good kid
I cant believe some people dont like Shirley! Such a great person..
I don't even play Skyrim (yet), but I love her channel. She's so refreshing after watching other gaming channels with their annoying intro music "heeeeyyy what's up y'all" "smash that like button" "don't forget to subscribe" "buy my merch" "use my support a creator code". She has none of that and is a breath of fresh air.
I just fell in love with Grandma Shirley! I started playing video games when my kids were little. They were too young to work the controllers, so I would work the controllers and they would tell me where to go and what to do. I started enjoying paying myself and just kept it up. I love the entire Elder Scrolls series. You make me want to play it again. (I'll be 55 in October )
Why don't you??
What I LOVE THE MOST is the fact that she remembers so many comments, like she’s stacking up stories, it’s so heart warming.
Not only comments. She remembers *people.*
The part where she tells about her reaching out to people is absolutely 100% true. One of the kindest souls I've ever had the privilege to know, if even for a bit.
Gaming is all about dreaming with open eyes. Respect to this woman ,she is a dreamer
god who else when they watch this just has a big smile on their face the entire time.
and tears in my eyes
I CRIED LIKE A BABY AHAHA
