Playing Against Napoleon Dynamite on Xbox Live Needs Less Quizzing, More Tater Tots

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:20:00 EST

Famous people are just like you and me. They put on pants one leg at a time. Some of them love video games and enjoy mixing it up on Xbox Live. But the vast majority of them don't advertise their superstar online. More »

Conan O'Brien Thinks Batman's Getting Too Old for This Shit

Owen Good — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 14:00:00 EDT

Batman is Batman, he's not like the Patterson family in For Better or For Worse in which everyone ages real-time. He was created more than 70 years ago and, as this Conan O'Brien sketch from Thursday imagines, he'd be a lot less badass if Batman: Arkham City didn't lie about his age. More »

Debatable Evidence That Conan O'Brien Is Copying Super Mario Again

Stephen Totilo — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 12:00:00 EST

Owen Good — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:00:00 EST

Tiger Woods status as EA Sports' top golf pitchman is probably safe. In fact, his "personal failings' might be grist for a new direction in his namesake video game, as Conan O'Brien (or his writers) shows. More »

Conan O'Brien Gets Topical with Video Game Sales, Bombs

Owen Good — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 15:00:00 EDT

Were it me, I might have made a crack about a pencil-cup peripheral. As it is, Wii isn't the best motion control for job interviews. Natal would offer a more immersive groveling experience. More »

Conan Drills Deeper Into GTA IV's Kinder, Gentler Side... Again

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:20:00 EDT

Late Night with Conan O'Brien is certainly getting some mileage out of its "Gentler Side of Grand Theft Auto IV" shtick.

(Glad someone else noticed that Niko is partial to checking out his ass in jeans.) We're just thrilled Conan and crew are educating the public about the nice things one can do while in Liberty City.

Conan Drills Deeper Into GTA IV's Kinder, Gentler Side

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 07 May 2008 19:20:09 EDT

As Late Night host Conan O'Brien has already pointed out, Grand Theft Auto IV has a gentler side. Not really, but it's a good gag and we like Conan so much that we're more than happy to retread the territory with him.
