World's Oldest Competitive Gamer Dies

[Uros "2Lions" Jojic] 03:49 pm EDT @ October 20th, 2006

Sad news. Doris Self, the 'world's oldest competitive gamer,' passes away at the age of 81. According to the obit: "Doris first gained notoriety in 1983 when she achieved a world record score of 1,112,300 points on the classic arcade game Q*Bert during Twin Galaxies' 1983 Video Game Masters Tournament, an event that was conducted for the Guinness Book of World Records. She was 58 years old then, the oldest person up to that time to capture a video game world title"

In her final years, she was chasing the regaining of her Q*Bert world crown, but sadly didn't quite make it.

gg, Doris. R.I.P.

I'm 36. That can't be the oldest. NS and TNF both have less hair, so I can't be the baldest either.

But I am globally ranked 824 with a pistol in BF2. :icon27:

No, I've got more hair. I just have it shaved down short. There's no bald spot on the top or back of my head...just receded. With light blonde hair though it I might as well have it shaved to the skin.

That sounds like a challenge.... :icon28:

Thats not a pistol in YourHand...

forget about the hand... 824 is fucking terrible

What's your global ranking with a pistol?

I thought #824 out of 300,000+ wasn't too bad.

Edit: 790 now.

pistol? what are you ranked with the real guns?

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2006 11:47 pm**

I'm going shooting this weekend.

I still need to get my 9mm's sights set up, so I'm not sure how good I'll do. But I'm pretty good with my SKS.

only a major loser would even care to brag about such an insignificant achievement.

I wouldn't call it bragging. Anyone with half a brain could see the sarcasm by the smileys I used in the posts.
