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.
Zod revealed as next Injustice DLC character
The heroes and villains of the DC Universe will soon kneel before Zod, as the perennial Superman villain has been revealed as Injustice: Gods Among Us' next DLC character. The announcement was made during the latest installment of Conan O'Brien's Clueless Gamer series, wherein Conan loses to a blindfolded Aaron Bleyaert. The segment also revealed a character based on Conan: "The Flaming C," which was co-designed by Conan and legendary DC animated universe pioneer Bruce Timm. We've reached out to Team Coco to find out whether The Flaming C will be coming to Injustice, or if his creation was solely for the show. We'll be simultaneously keeping our fingers crossed for The Flaming C, while also keeping our ears to the ground for more specific information about Zod's release, in the days to come. [Thanks, Steve!]
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 knocks himself out in Halo 4
This latest edition of Clueless Gamer, in which Conan O'Brien says he "kinda hates games," is slow to get going as the host struggles with the plot. But it's worth the watch just to see him react to Cortana, and in particular the characters voiced by himself and Andy Richter.
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 O'Brien on Apple's growing iPad lineup
Conan O'Brien is back again with another Apple parody, poking fun at Apple's growing lineup of iPads. He mocks Apple's talking head-style promotional videos that mix product shots with brief statements by Apple's designers and engineers. In the clip, Team Coco adds several models to accompany the iPad mini that offer different screen sizes with "barely different options," including one the "barely fits in the door."
Conan O'Brien knows why you want an iPad mini
Conan O'Brien's team seems to know just why you'll buy an iPad mini in this short, cynical, but still pretty funny play on Apple's iPad mini ad.

Comedian and late night talk show host Conan O'Brien recently went toe-to-toe with Olympic soccer gold medalist Alex Morgan in Ubisoft's Just Dance 4 and offered his review of the game. Based on O'Brien's review scale, we give this video a 22. Just Dance 4 is scheduled to launch October 9.
Conan's intern runs into iPhone 5 trouble
Conan O'Brien is back with yet another Apple-themed comedy sketch. He's made fun of Siri, the iPad's Retina display and now the iPhone 5. In this latest short, Conan gives us an exclusive look at the iPhone 5 in a presentation that is cut short by a surprise guest. You can watch the clip in the video below. Enjoy!
Conan: Droll "Samsung response" to Apple claims of design theft
Thanks to a headsup from our friends over at Team Coco, we have a sneak peek at a fun clip from tonight's Conan O'Brien show. This is a video "released by a Samsung VP" showing how Samsung products are completely different from those made by Apple, proving the lawsuit is ridiculous. I can't wait to get my hands on that vacuum myself, it looks really powerful! Video embedded below... You can catch the rest of Conan's show weeknights at 11 pm on TBS. Until it shows up on television, you can kill time watching clips from other episodes on their site.
Skyrim, and the case of the curious cat man Conan
Conan O'Brien's no stranger to Skyrim, and in the 11 months since the game came out, he's been exhaustively playing the game in hopes of crafting its most definitive review. The video above is the fruition of those efforts. Or something like that, at least.
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.
The Guild Counsel: Important graduation advice for gamers
Summer's almost here, but before we hit the beach and grab some sun, it's time for graduation. Everywhere I go, I see cars with "2012" colorfully written across windows and young adults sporting mortar boards. Graduation is a culminating point in a young person's education, and lately, I've felt as if I've received quite an education through the years playing MMOs and managing guilds. Interestingly enough, some of the advice that's given to graduates applies very well in our MMO experience. In this week's Guild Counsel, let's look back at a few famous graduation speeches to see how some sage advice on entering the "real world" offers valuable lessons for our time in the virtual ones.
Halo 4, starring Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter as professional crate movers
Ahead of tonight's episode of Conan, Team Coco went ahead and posted the full nine-minute Halo 4 segment starring 343 Industries' Kiki Wolfkill and Frank O'Connor. Conan's got pitches for his low-key role as "dude who moves crates in space during war," as well as a variety of subtle costume ideas. See it all for yourself just above.
Halo 4 awakens Master Chief on November 6
Microsoft and 343 Industries announced this morning that Halo 4 will launch worldwide on Tuesday, November 6. The news comes one day after teasy tweets from Microsoft's Major Nelson indicated some form of collaboration between Microsoft and everyone's favorite freakishly tall late night host, Conan O'Brien, which sparked rumors of a potential launch date reveal.Microsoft studios corporate VP Phil Spencer offered lofty goals alongside the launch date announce. "With Halo 4 leading the charge, we're confident 2012 will be the most successful year in Xbox history," Spencer said. He also pointed out that Halo 4 is just the beginning of Microsoft's renewed relationship with the Chief. "We are beginning a new saga with Halo 4 and embarking on a journey that will encompass the next decade of Halo games and experiences." Just no more cat helmets, Phil. That's all we ask.Additionally, Halo 4 will appear in some form on tonight's episode of "Conan," which Microsoft described as nothing more than a "special segment."Update: Red vs Blue created the charming short above to announce Halo 4's release date. Enjoy!
Conan O'Brien pokes fun at iPad Retina display
Comedian and TBS late night fixture Conan O'Brien wasted no time last week in poking fun at the new iPad. In this short video piece -- which borrows from the video shown during the Apple Event last week -- O'Brien points out just how "stunning" the Retina display is on the new device. Everything looks better - enjoy!
Curt Schilling visits Conan, shows off Kingdoms of Amalur
Former baseball player turned 38 Studios founder Curt Schilling made a visit to Conan O'Brien's late night talk show this week. After discussing his beautiful with Tom Arnold and telling a story about some US soldiers playing Call of Duty while at war, he showed off a special "Irish American" version of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, featuring a virtual Schilling squaring off against "Gnomon O'Brien." You can watch the short interview and clip below. It's cute, even if it's not a good representation of what the game is actually like. Then again, it is a late night talk show, so eliciting a chuckle and getting the name said a few times is probably worth it.
Conan O'Brien shows off SWTOR same-sex footage
Leave it to Conan O'Brien to offer up the funniest take on Star Wars: The Old Republic's same-sex relationship controversy (which, incidentally, isn't that much of a controversy until it's actually in the game!). The late-night talk show host treated viewers to some "exclusive footage" -- apparently authorized by George Lucas himself (wink, nudge) -- that pairs up Star Wars icons like Darth Vader and Boba Fett and Yoda and Galen Marek (also known as Starkiller). Oh, and wait until the Family Research Council gets a load of Han Solo and Chewbacca. Check it out after the break.
Andy Richter's super secret Skyrim voiceover work, revealed!
Skyrim's development had assistance from some major names in acting: Max Von Sydow, Joan Allen, and Lynda Carter to name a few. But did you know that legendary comedy partner Andy Richter also played a major role? It was revealed this week on Conan, which we've embedded above.
Conan O'Brien pokes fun at Siri
Siri is quickly becoming everyone's favorite personal assistant. It helps you navigate, sends messages on your behalf and provides quirky answers to life's most difficult questions like "Where do I hide a dead body?" Siri's capacity for juvenile amusement was not lost on Conan O'Brien who used Apple's Siri commercial as the basis for his latest Apple parody. As you would expect, his short skit pokes fun at the voice assistant's ability to answer just about any question you ask of it. For a chuckle or two, check out the Team Coco video below.
