Awesome grandpa plays video games with grandson

A YouTube video of an enthusiastic grandpa playing video games with his grandson has gone viral.

Eighty-four-year-old Ben squeals and shouts as he gets into the game, clearly having a ball with his grandson, Jake.

"It sounds like you've both gotta poop," an amused off-camera observer remarks.

Buzzfeed's John Herrman dubs the Connecticut grandfather "the happiest gamer in the world."

"We invited our 84-year old grandpa to play some Black Ops 2 and Halo 4 with us...we never thought he'd react like this!!" grandson Jake wrote on YouTube.

The cute video won over YouTube commenters:

"Your grandad is awesome! I hope I'm that open to new experiences when I reach his age," redjack9999 wrote.

"Best grandpa everrrrrrrrr," ahmadz45 wrote.

Babble blogger Joslyn Gray agrees: "The whole thing is completely awesome and adorable, and I dare you not to smile while watching it!"
