godzillajoe Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Catching up on some old episodes. Maybe this was posted before, I don't remember it. This should make some of you mad. :-) I kinda found it amusing. Reminds me of most guys on YouTube who review games. Clueless. http://teamcoco.com/video/clueless-gamer-throwback-edition-atari-2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bixler Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Very entertaining. I also loved his video of SSB4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I don't get his problem with River Raid. It's a pretty easy game really. Move and shoot, but don't hit the sides. And it bugs me when playing Space Invaders they have the difficulty setting to the harder "wide-blaster" version. Did they not tinker with the switches?

SoundGammon Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Conan doesn't realize that he insults his audience...and he couldn't understand why The Tonight Show ratings went DOWN when he took over! I wouldn't walk across the street to see him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 He's not a gamer. Also, how "funny" would it be if he just played the games and was awesome at them. Of course he was half-assing it and making stupid comments. That would be like MST3K talking about how great the movie they're riffing is. I'm a huge Conan fan but he was not the right fit for The Tonight Show. But that's for another board, not this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I thought it was a brilliant take on the 2600. I do find it hard to believe that he's never played it before, given that he was 14 when it first came out - pretty much THE target demographic at the time. Maybe he lived on an Amish farm or something. So I suspect it's just well-done comedy. The ET analysis is absolutely hysterical. It's become a bit trendy to say "nah, ET wasn't that bad, everyone just says it because of the Internet" but that's not at all what I remember. EVERYONE that I knew hated the game and we were making "falling into pits" jokes long before the Internet. ET deserves its reputation and it's not just because of the hype and subsequent disappointment. It wouldn't surprise me if he's actually a huge Atari fan. This video seems like really well-done parody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Just some useless speculation: Conan comes from a well off family so its possible they thought video games were a waste of time. At a minimum they probably gravitated toward the system that was sold as more "educational", the Intellevision. We had that family at our school who thought they were smarter than everyone else.

Andromeda Stardust Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Good throwback. At least he respects the Space Invaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Very funny stuff from Conan, and without all his usual dick and fart jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is confusing because you're controlling what looks like a plane yet you can't fly over anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
