Clueless Gamer with Conan O'Brien

[BreakABone]

This is a semi-new feature on his show in which he plays and reviews popular games.

It is an interesting experiment to see how someone who isn't well-versed in video games reacts.

Especially when you compare his stance on something like Kinect Star Wars and Skyrim

I liked the one he did for Minecraft recently, where he was just ripping on the graphics and production value because he couldn't grasp the concept considering he's not a gamer.


I really do like the idea in general though, I think it's super interesting.

Great feature. The strength of it lies in CoCo reviewing popular games. The Star Wars one falls flat as a joke, though it's interesting that he seems to like it because of the instant playability and movement controls.

Which is why I think the whole thing is interesting.

Because some of the things we want from games, may be different than what the general public latches on to.

I assume this can only run for so long before he actually becomes invested into gaming or gets bored of it.

And needs to expand his horizons beyond the Xbox.

Derp on me, thank you for pointing out that I just paraphrased your original post.

I'd like to see his take on something fairly trippy like a Mario game.

These are actually really funny.
