This 78-year-old grandmother has an insatiable lust for violence (in Fortnite)

Scottish grandmother Cath Bowie has captured the hearts of thousands with her violent tendencies in the online game Fortnite. Guinness World Records recently honored the 78-year-old with the title of the world's oldest female Fortnite streamer. Bowie started playing the game in 2017 under the online handle grumpygran1948, encouraged by her grandson, who initially doubted her abilities.

The self-proclaimed "red rag to a bull" found her passion in the thrill of violent combat, boasting that her enjoyment never waned after nine years of playing and streaming. Bowie credits her family and fellow players for their support throughout her nine years of gaming, encouraging others her age to embrace the "red wine of battle," as she puts it.
