DICE Awards Announced; North Korea Copies CoD
 |
|
The annual DICE awards have been revealed! Annnd the winners are...
If you're an American (or a member of the civilized world, really), you've probably heard about the most recent "Dream" propaganda video released by the North Korean government. What you may have been unaware of, however, was where the obtained some of the clips featured in the video. Humorously, it turns out the good 'ol North Korea stole clips right out of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3! I'm not sure what I hate more about North Korea: its odd hatred of civilized nations, the whole irrational warmongering thing, or its crappy taste in games.
Skip to around 2:08 for the footage from the game.
Conan O'Brien is commonly agreed to be one of the funniest people in America. Now it's important to keep in mind that he's not a gamer. He hardly plays video games... If ever. However, he has a segment of his show known as the "Clueless Gamer," and it's essentially a hilarious parody of a game review. He even makes sure to review the game several months late, and he reviewed Skyrim after it was out for almost a year! His newest review is for Halo 4. Watch it below!

I was expecting something sort of lame for O'Brien's review, but it was actually good.
Good work, Jake.
I find it hilarious that he says before he reviews a game, "I don't play video games, nor do I know anything about them." It really sets the mood for the rest of the review.
