Put aside those stereotypes of gamers as young testosterone-laden men and make way for "Old Grandma Hardcore", a 70-year-old Cleveland resident who's now the "senior correspondent" for MTV's G-Hole.

St. Hillaire was named one of GamerGod's "10 Most Interesting People in Gamingfor 2005," and her grandson, Timothy, writes a blog about her.
