Meet the granny who's hooked to computer games!

A 72-year-old Chinese woman has gotten so hooked to computer games that she starts playing them at 9 am every day.

Grandmom Liu Zhi's gaming addiction began 20 years ago when she visited a colleague and found her son playing games on the computer.

Intrigued by the novel activity, she purchased a player for herself and has been hooked ever since.

In fact, Zhi is so addicted to the games, that her son bought her a computer so she could kill time playing games on it.

However, all that time spent in front of the monitor has taken its toll, for Zhi has been complaining of pain in her back and wrist from sitting too long, reveals China Daily.

Her concerned family members have now had to pry her away from the console to get her to appreciate more healthy activities like Peking Opera.
