Watch Marshawn Lynch play Mortal Kombat X, say more than 7 words
Yes, this Conan O'Brien "Clueless Gamer" bit features Mortal Kombat X (which, by the by, Ermac was just confirmed for). More importantly, we now know that sportsballer-of-few-words Marshawn Lynch likes to play Toad in Mario Kart, while Rob Gronkowski is all about the Bowser. For several reasons that shouldn't need elaboration, this video is possibly NSFW. [Image: WB]
Watch Conan O'Brien scream at Frenchmen in Assassin's Creed: Unity
It's November, so it's the busy season for Conan O'Brien's Clueless Gamer segment. As a Brit who doesn't speak with a French accent, the talk show host's take on Assassin's Creed: Unity resonates with me. Also, that weary look at the mention of "backstory" is golden. [Image: Ubisoft]
Hold X to watch Conan O'Brien play Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
If your game has a "Hold X to Pay Respects" button and you ask Conan O'Brien to play it - well, you know what's going to happen. Conan's vid does have a few early spoilers for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, but it's worth watching the self-proclaimed Clueless Gamer go crazy over turrets, crossing a street and Kevin Spacey's eyes.

Conan 'Clueless Gamer' O'Brien luges through E3
Conan O'Brien may have not been the only clueless gamer at E3, but the TV star's take on gaming's annual LA-palooza is always worth a watch. After talking and playing Entwined, Forza 5, Sunset Overdrive, Project Morpheus and Kevin Spacey In Your Face, things get a bit creepy when 100 Nintendo ladies watch Conan firestorm Hyrule Warriors. There's more Clueless Gamer below the break with Conan playing Super Smash Bros Wii U.
Conan reviews Watch Dogs, turns it into Grand Theft Auto
You give a man like Conan O'Brien an open-world game like Watch Dogs, he's going to play it like Grand Theft Auto. After deriding the concept of a city run by one operating network, the chat show host goes about destroying Chicago in almost every way possible.
Watch Conan O'Brien play Street Fighter 2 on Dallas' huge stadium screen
When you're an incredibly famous chat show host with physics-defying hair, you can do things like rent out a NFL stadium just to play Need for Speed: Rivals on the ninth largest screen in the world. Conan O'Brien's latest "Clueless Gamer" is one of the most remarkable yet, if only for the surreal sight of him playing Flower on a 180 x 72 feet jumbotron while a group of kids spell out his name on the grass below. And they say games aren't art. PS: Before you start looking for Super Street Fighter 2 HD Turbo Remix on the PS4 Store, it's not there, and it looks like Conan switched to a DualShock 3 during that bit. Sorry to dash those hopes.

Conan cooks The Rock in WWE 2K14
Well, if Conan O'Brien can't make enough money off game reviews, it would appear he has a career in professional wrestling. O'Brien recently played WWE 2K14 as part of his Clueless Gamer bit and served up The Rock.
Conan O'Brien tries to understand World of Warcraft
What happens when a guy, who has practically no experience with World of Warcraft, attends Blizzcon? If it's anything like Conan O'Brien's trip, the ignorance will result in hilarity – like how O'Brien discovered the oxygen is really thin in Azeroth or that all life in the realm must have a much weaker lung capacity than we do here in the world of the real. Also: bears in heat. Outside of actually playing, O'Brien also chats with a team of professional players from Europe prior to the World of Warcraft of Warcraft World Championship and even sits down to commentate the finale. It's refreshing, because you never really hear commentators discuss the types of flooring to be found in Azeroth.
Conan O'Brien takes over Arena casting at BlizzCon
We're all used to some serious names taking the commentator's seat for the Arena Global Invitational at BlizzCon, but this year a first-round series between Skill-Capped and Flash Wolves got a special treat from the world's best gamer, Conan O'Brien. Conan took his Clueless Games segment to BlizzCon and joined Adam "Hoodrych" Brown and Jared "VHell" Coulston to lend some gravitas and real gaming knowledge to the commentary. The full 25-minute version you see above will no doubt be condensed down into something far shorter for the show itself, as on watching it I certainly found the whole thing rather stilted and awkward, but there are some funny moments tucked away in there which will no doubt make for great TV. It's also possible that I'm just not used to Conan's comedy style. But I certainly cracked a smile at certain points, especially where he was grabbing the more knowledgeable casters' tidbits on, for example, gateway usage, and accidentally saying just the right thing! Oh and paladin healers? Conan says to make sure you use your potions.
Watch Conan O'Brien play scary video games in the dark
We'd expect chat show hosts to be trotting out the next-gen consoles around this time, but Conan 'Clueless Gamer' O'Brien went down the Halloween route with an eclectic variety of PC horror games. He's not too fond of Slender: The Eight Pages, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent fares only slightly better, but asylum misadventure Outlast proves a big hit.
Conan takes on the Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 isn't the kind of modern, hip guest you'd normally expect on a late-night talk show, but in the hands of Conan O'Brien it's excellent value - not literally, mind. With his Clueless Gamer spectacles, which clearly don't have a trace of rose tint, our host really doesn't get on with some of the vintage console's most memorable entries. However, like Conan's quiff, one game somehow manages to hold up.
Conan goes to E3, endorses everything
If you're looking for an alternative synopsis of E3, 'Clueless Gamer' Conan O'Brien provided one on his show this week. Keep an eye out for fleeting appearances from Hohokum, Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Mario Kart 8, and the "tragic" Charles Martinet.
Conan loves but loses Tomb Raider
Jimmy Fallon may have gotten the PS4 demo, but Conan 'Clueless Gamer' O'Brien seems happy enough with trying out Tomb Raider. Conan's commentary is unsurprisingly puerile - the video is probably NSFW - and things come to a head when Lara tries to navigate rapids.
Conan cleans up Hitman: Absolution
Conan O'Brien is barely even interested in games, but Hitman: Absolution seems to tick his boxes. Maybe it's the mulching, or having a barcode on the back of his bald head, or just the emphasis on eco-friendly body-storage.
Conan reviews the Resident Evil 6 demo
Conan O'Brien isn't the first to play Resident Evil 6, but he has already played the upcoming demo. It's all for laughs, but he does a surprisingly good job of summing up the franchise, noting it has "good graphics" and a back story that's "way too complicated." Sounds about right.
Conan O'Brien plays Minecraft, rates it a '26 C'
Conan O'Brien is a self-admitted "clueless gamer." He thinks the Xbox controller is a neck massager. Anyway, here's a clip of him trying to review the ridiculously successful Minecraft. He may have a point about the graphics.

Gary Oldman spits out a few Reznov lines on Conan, in a bowtie
Gary Oldman is a respected actor with decades of awards and critically acclaimed roles on his resume -- but we don't care about all that. Oldman was the voice of Viktor Reznov in Call of Duty: Black Ops, and he told Conan O'Brien all about that magical, extremely loud experience.

Conan: Gears of War 3 has lost its violent edge
We might not have mentioned it in the review, but Gears of War 3 isn't nearly as violent as its predecessors.
