Thumbs-up for gamer grandmother

BUENOS AIRES - Like many women at her age, Isabel Martinotti, 82, is a doting grandmother. Unlike her peers, she is also an avid video gamer who has become an online celebrity in her native Argentina for handling a console with the dexterity of a teenager.

"I'm the 'Gamer Grandma' for everyone on the internet. They all want to be my grandchildren sometimes," Martinotti said at her home in Buenos Aires, where she lives with her 27-year-old grandson German Gil.

It was Gil who realized Martinotti was no ordinary grandmother and decided to upload videos online of her expertly tapping away on a game controller.
