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.

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!

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 :)
This person adaptating to technology is very admirable this tells you that he is not a stagnant person and he keeps pushing forward

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 🙂

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

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 ❤❤❤❤
I'm 50 yrs old and have been a gamer all my life. I occasionally get the random smart ass lookin at me saying stupid crap like... "A man of your age shouldn't be playing children's games." I just chuckle and reply with "A man of your age shouldn't wait to see his proctologist. You need to get that stick removed." My favorite was.... "You're most likely going to die having nothing to show for your life but video games." Then I point to my 2 beautiful boys (also gamers), my future daughter-in-law (another gamer), and my 5 month old grand daughter and smile after I say... There's my Legacy." A parting thought.... Old gamers never die, we just get a firmware upgrade and keep clickin.

All of the people that tries to disrespect you just for playing videogames are crap people, people that only wants and likes to humillate or atacking other people. A smart and mature individual knows that every human been is diferent and we all like diferent things, so involving in someond else hobbies is probably the most inmature thing in the world.

I get that sometimes "you must be unemployed" I work 60 to 70 hours a week. Kids just salty they suck.
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!!
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.
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!
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
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!!!
This is so entertaining! I'm 38 and I'm loving this. I wish all the old timers would be open to this
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.
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.
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 :)
Lord please keep this man with us as long as possible. People like this man keep hope in this world alive
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 ❤️
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!
Keep it up grandpa ❤ you’re so strong! Thank you for your service to our country ❤
My second favourite gramps. Ha May God bless and keep you and yours safe. Blessings from the uk
Thsnk you for your service Grandpa! Love your channel!
Caught a GG short on KZread of BF2042 Sniping and bought the game the same day. And started following the channel, keep it up grandpa! You’re killing it!
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 👍
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
Such an awesome behind the scenes view here. Gaming can do a lot of good things for people and I'm glad you found passion in gaming. We hope to watch you continue playing and growing the platform. Here's to many many more years of Grandpa Gaming!
I knew when I seen a clip you had a military background and instantly subbed, wanna say thank you for your service 🫡 and your awesome gamer. I’m sorry you went through that accident and I’ll keep you in my prayers 💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

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.
You’re amazing grandpa, you got me back into battlefield and I’ve been having a blast. Keep doing what makes you happy!!
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!
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!
I just found you online and love the content, nothing like that laugh after you score those long distance kills. Have all the fun you can and enjoy all the time you have!
I had read your description you posted in KZread. Sir, you’re a legend and you deserve all good things in life.

OMG how good you are! And your joy makes me smile ^^
Glad I found you, I have seen a lot of clips on the internet of you. My uncle was in the navy during that time as well.
Thank you for sharing with us. I love watching your streams and it’s always inspiring to see people just doing what makes them happy. ❤
Love your content grandpa. Keep doing you we are all here cheering for you. We all appreciate your service.
Dope story and good to hear. Discovered your channel about a week ago and have definitely enjoyed it.
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.
great video. been seeing your shorts. your are an amazing gamer. great inspiration for anyone on this platform.
It is a pleasure to see your stream pop up, the greatest feeling ever, good luck on your journey king, all the love in the world!
Thankyou sir for your service! And thankyou once more for never failing to put a smile on my face, seeing you kick ass on games is phenominal. Showing the youngsters how its done.
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
It’s 6am on a Monday morning in Dublin Ireland, I set my alarm for 7:30am, I just couldn’t sleep so I woke early, made some coffee & hit youtube to kill some time before I start my long day. I found this guy’s channel & he instantly made my day. May God grace you with many more years of doing what you love 🇮🇪🙏🇺🇸
New to the channel Grandpop enjoying the videos 💪🏾💪🏾🖤🖤🖤
Just found your channel not long ago.. & I honestly can't get enough of it! Thanks for sharing your experience.
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'm happy I came across one of your reels. You have an incredible story and your skills are phenomenal.
I stumbled upon a KZread short and I was hooked immediately 😀 Your channel is awesome grandpa 😎
Instantly subscribed to you when I watched your YT Short Videos. I'm going to catch up with what I've missed!!
I just found your channel. This is awesome. I enjoy your content!
Thank you for your service sir. Bless your soul.
Firstly, thank you for your service. I come from a UK family of men who served. I did not. However, I have been saying that people have been underestimating the impact that serving has, both mentally and physically. I have seen it within my own family many times. You have my respect. Also, I have always said that people should not underestimate the power of gaming. It helps millions every single day yet all you ever seem to hear is "Gaming is for kids", "You're wasting your life" or "Video games promote violence"...no doubt you have heard it all yourself. This is all despite the evidence to the contrary. Finally, thank you for doing this interview. People need/needed to see this. Keep it up
God bless ya! Keep gaming, you're awesome! Will try to catch your stream if I can. Lots of love all the way from Germany! 😀
Ive come across a few of your shorts, decided to look up your channel, subscribed!
Man your great I hope your channel gets more recognition ❤️
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 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!
I truly respect you sir! Thank you for your sevice and your continued service to a dark world you bring alot of us joy and hope!

Well Sir, welcome home, and thank you for your service! I found you on KZread a few hours ago, watched this, and subscribed.

Love your streams! Thank you for your service and all the best from Poland
Keep going grandpa!!!...Love your humor.
We love you grandpa! You sir have a heart of gold. I love seeing your shorts.
Thanks for the quote grandpa and you’re make us all very proud ❤
Absolute highlight of my KZread experience seeing you pop up, Sir. Thank you.
I've been watching Grandpa for years, and over those years, he's become like my grandpa. You may be a speck on the radar, but you don't realize the impact that you have had ❤️ game on Grandpa
I loved this video and he's an inspiration. I'm 48 and play PUBG quite well and everyday too. Gaming is a way for me to keep the old man away. It's his way too. Much respect.
