Conan O’Brien’s ‘Clueless Gamer’ Segment to Become Standalone TV Series
“Clueless Gamer,” one of Conan O’Brien’s most popular late-night segments, has been picked up by TBS as a series all its own.
Conan typically sits on a couch with various celebrity guests and good-naturedly pokes fun at whatever they’re playing. Thus far, Grand Theft Auto V, Halo 5: Guardians, Fallout 4, Mario Kart 8, DOOM, Final Fantasy XV, and Battlefield 1 have all been featured on Clueless Gamer, among many others.
There’s just one little change: Conan won’t be on the couch anymore. While O’Brien will serve as an executive producer, the spin-off will feature a new, as-yet unannounced host.
TBS president Kevin Reilly told The Hollywood Reporter that the segment has become popular enough that “we’ve gotten to the point where video game companies are sending us their new product for us to play and make fun of because it’s been such a huge success.” They’re pinning a lot on the hope that the viral popularity of the segment will survive transport into independent programming, and without the snarky wit of its creator.
There's a reason people love and adore the first seasons or so of The Simpsons, but not the 6 million seasons that followed: Conan left the show early on.
It's highly unlikely they'll find anyone to fill his seat that has that exact same combination of charm, wit, celebrity pow-wow and gaming ignorance... which means we'll probably end up with at YouTube LP'er or something.
This mod lets you play a badass '90s-style corridor shooter inside Fallout 4
Not Duke Nukem, but an incredible facsimile.
If you've grown a little bored with Fallout 4's holotape minigames, here's something a bit more entertaining. It's a mod called Revolted, and it gives you a custom retro 1990s-style corridor shooter that you can play inside Fallout 4. The mod, created by Cohagen, has a pulse-pounding chiptune soundtrack, wonderfully stilted and over-serious voice acting, and some 2D digitized sprites sprinkled into the 3D levels for some added nostalgia.
With the mod installed, head to Concord, where inside the Speakeasy you'll find a computer terminal on the second floor. Activate it, and you can play Revolted. In the mingame, you inhabit an ass-kicking, cigar-chomping Overseer with a gravelly voice and no patience for mutants, perhaps inspired by Duke Nukem. The door to your vault has been opened, allowing monsters inside, and your job is to close it again, while blasting your way through zombies and other enemies.
You're not just shooting, mind you: There are a few interactions with NPCs (also deliberately poorly voiced), some of that shitty '90s platforming that was always shoehorned into shooters of that era, and of course, you'll have to hunt for colored keycards to open various progress-blocking doors.
It's an impressive mod, both fun and funny, as well as a bit profane (there are a number of references to male genitalia). The awkward dialogue and voice acting, plus the music and sound effects, perfectly reflect shooters of the '90s.
It's also got a few surprises I won't spoil, other than to say that there's an amusing boss battle near the end. And when you decide you're finished with the minigame, take care: it might not be finished with you.
You'll find Revolted over at Nexus Mods.
It's PC Gamer. Take a look at any of their or RPS's attempts to write about some older FPS, and what games they celebrate as their "successors" (and why).Did he think that shitty textures and lack of dynamic lighting are defining features of "corridor shooters"?
Really?He's not really a god, he just points out things everyone knows.
