Things We Saw Today: Conan O’Brien and Bill Hader Try to Play God of War

Conan O’Brien is back with his popular segment “Clueless Gamer”, where he tries his hand at playing popular video games. In the latest episode, Conan teams up with Bill Hader to play God of War, and the results are predictably hilarious. Playing as Kratos, the comedians delve into the father-son relationship at the heart of the game, and poke fun at the brutal violence of the game play. I could watch these two play all day.

Chelsea Steiner

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
