Last week was Conan O’brien’s last show of Late Night. It is the end of an era. That douchebag Jimmy Fallon is going to be the new host of Late Night, Conan will host the Tonight Show starting June 1st, and Leno will continue to be Conan’s lead-in, now starting at 10:30. This video is a clip from one of Conan’s shows, which Conan replayed on his last show because he feels it best represents who he is.
Also here is Jim Carry doing a hilarious Conan impression.
Update: Nevermind this game isn’t really that good. Ace Combat is better and also has co-op.
This new Tom Clancy flight game is pretty awesome. Ubisoft obtained the most detailed satellite imagery commercially available from Google’s GeoEye satellite, and combined it with over 50 military aircraft, including experimental ones. The enhanced reality system guides the player to intercept enemies and evade missiles. A demo is available on Xbox Live and features drop in/drop out 4-player co-op of a boring training mission, and one badass mission. Release March 16th, same as Halo Wars.

This concludes my 3-part roundup of the best iPhone apps. I skillfully narrowed it down to only 42 apps. If you don’t see an app you think I should mention, or a broken link please leave a comment.
Similar to LOLCats, this app displays funny cat pictures from icanhascheezburger.com. Also includes other great funny pictures such as I Has A Hotdog!, FAIL Blog, and Engrish Funny. These two apps have duplicate functionality, but hey you can never have too many pictures of funny cats.
With this app, every time you jump with your iPhone, motion detection will cue the sound effect of Mario jumping from Super Mario Bros.(NES). Complete awesome!
There are other free pianos, but this is the only one to fit two full octaves on the screen with large enough keys to be playable. Those other one octave pianos are silly, what the hell song are you gonna play with only one octave?
An awesome collection of Oriental Flute, Eastern Bells, and Rock Guitar. The guitar kinda sucks but you can make some sweet melodies with the flute and bells.
I like me some iPhone games. The screen is so large and responsive. But who likes paying for stuff? Not me. That’s why I appreciate the work of iPhone developers who make awesome games and then give them away for free, or at least provide free demos that are complete enough that I can play them without too many restrictions.
A driving/platforming game. Drive your truck to the target, turn into a monster truck to overcome obstacles. Many levels, solid gameplay, original sound track, and soft-body physics make Jelly Car the best free iPhone game.
This demo includes 5 of the 20 songs from the full version. It’s basically Guitar Hero, except it’s Piano Hero, for the iPhone and it’s awesome. Here is a video of me playing Für Elise.
Not really a game, but a fun physics toy. Supports multi-touch, you can bounce these balls around with multiple fingers, the way balls were meant to be bounced.
To know of The Game is to play The Game. To play The Game is to lose The Game. By reading this, you’ve just lost The Game. Great start, loser. Seriously though great start your supposed to lose.
