i dont play minecraft but obviously its a huge franchise and they made it bigger today

It’s probably the most significant update we’ve made in Minecraft’s recent history - we’re releasing a new version of the game that lets players on Xbox, mobile, VR and Windows 10 play together!

And not only that! It lets you access oodles of player-made goodness on Marketplace! It lets you take that Marketplace goodness from one device to another! It lets you play your Realm on console (for example), hop off, then pick up where you left off on your phone! It lets you join massive servers, with communities numbering in millions of players and eccentric minigames to suit every taste!

I agree with you for the most part but... Kate Upton. Kate Upton isn't even my favorite but I still like her just fine. It was enough for me even though the jokes were pretty stupid. I don't even remember anything about the game.

I do agree with the ditching the celebrity thing however some of them have been pretty good. I did enjoy the one with Terry Crews, but I like Terry Crews. The celebrities change the entire dynamic and it doesn't always work. I'm actually listening to the one with Will Arnett right now and they were pretty good together. Conan: "Whoever wins makes the other guy shoot a video to put online saying how the winner is their hero." Will: "That would be very difficult to do because I'd have to become an actual decent actor to do that."

My all time favorite is probably the GTA V though.

the arnett one is great but its partially, i think, 'cause conan and will are legit friends so it was natural. and yeah some of them (the celeb ones) have been alright but ultimately it should be conan and aaron.

the upton one was so cringey and i know it was supposed to be but the big thing is she can't act/improv. thought it ended up hurting the appeal of the game too. i like looking at her just fine but i imagine thats it.

You nailed it on it being terrible because Kate Upton can't act.

I thought about saying that but I didn't want to put it out there in case she just happens to lurk on this forum and we someday meet and are falling in love until she realizes that I said on here that she can't act and she breaks my heart.

Conan and Will had great chemistry and you can tell they are actual friends. I thought him and Terry Crews did well together too since Terry seems like somebody who doesn't take himself too seriously but yeah, the reason it works so well with Conan and Aaron is the familiarity and ability to say a lot that they couldn't get away with saying to a big 'celebrity' that is most likely just there to promote something or for a bit of publicity. If somebody is looking for publicity, they don't take kindly to you insinuating that they have to use a strap-on. I think that was actually Will Arnett breaking out the strap-on crack at Conan's expense but whatever.

Conan and Terry Crews worked for me because they seem to really get along as well. How can't you get along with Terry Crews though. I remember watching an episode of his old reality show surrounding his family life and he was acting all tough about this guy coming to pick up his daughter for a date. When the guy got there it was a rookie NFL running back who I can't remember. Crews turned into the ultimate fan right there and was just fawning over him like a teenage girl. It was hilarious but also when I really started to like the guy.

Terry Crews is a legit gamer as well. Recently he posted about building his own gaming PC.

I remember him talking about that with Conan. I think this afternoon I'll listen to some Conan/Terry Crews clips.

my recollection, from that clueless gamer, is that he built the PC for his son...but some quick googling says he built one for himself too. he's supposed to be in that crackdown 3 game too.

I'm probably going to get one of those XBox One S machines, looks nice and I can have a mess about on Forza Horizon 3 and Agents of Mayhem and Crackdown 3, whenever it comes out.

If you're close to getting one I'd monitor slickdeals.net for a few weeks. Killer deals for XB1's pop up there fairly regularly.

edit - fixed a slickdeals url typo
