Video Game Fans in Their 70s Finally Meet for the First Time After Playing Together Online for a Year
After forging an unlikely friendship online, a British man finally got to meet his buddy in California for the first time. The two men, both in their 70’s, already knew each other well. They spent hours online together playing video games. The meeting was set up by Garry Bowhill-Mann’s granddaughter, Tallulah Self, who surprised her grandfather with the trip. For the past year, Bowhill-Mann had spent two or three hours per day playing online video games with Mike Nolan, a 70-year-old from California. I didn’t believe it when Tallulah first suggested it, I didn’t think it would really happen, Garry said. “It was great to meet him and finally put a face to the voice that I talk to every day. He’s such a nice guy, and his family are lovely. It was quite emotional, really. I think it’s a friendship that’s going to last.
