I taught my 69 year old father how to play Super Mario Bros.

Growing up as a latchkey kid I always wished my dad was around to experience video games with me. Now that he's retired I decided to make it my mission to turn him into a gamer.

He said he wants to try Pac-Man next.

69, dude!

Seriously though, this video is pretty good. I could probably listen to your Dad talk all day.

This video is great, it's like Paul Ryckert plus 20 years and Italian.

Your dad is awesome. Also, that Baba Cosmos video is incredible.

"I like Luigi."

"I wish Mario was sexy" was great. Fun video; your dad sounds like a cool guy. It's neat to see people who aren't interested in games play them, because they point out the things we take for granted.

YouTube spam toss this shit up on reddit.

That's awesome.

I remember playing a match of One Must Fall against my grandfather when he was probably already over 90, about 15 years ago. I doubt he ever played a game before or after that. He actually understood it well enough to beat me.

This is awesome and I think this should get more attention than it's had.

I love watching people who never got exposed to games naturally encounter games. It's also a thing that will become increasingly rare, unfortunately.

I'd encourage you to make more of these! I think they are amazing to watch, and your father seems to be having fun making them, so why not?
