Can't tell you how many times I surfed the web to study for this game. AND I remember going to the bar early enough to grab the paper and "study". I remember playing at Trumps in Lexington,and some of us would bring in notes to get ready for this game. Sometimes see answers that were a day or two old, but that tested the old people's brains from the youngster's. Remember when they changed it from a daily 5:30 to a once-a-week after 11pm game. Still, wish it would come back Yoda.......back to the AP news of the strange |

No, I never studied (nor was very good), but Abused News was fun. It should never have been removed. -- RWM |

With the shift away from 'hard' trivia, you'd think that it would be a natural game to revive. Instead, we've got Trendalicious...EGADS!!! |

News might not appeal to the 20 something crowd, but trends would. 90's trivia would appeal to younger people as well. Yoda.....I'd rather see 70's trivia |

This is another game that should be back. Put it on Fridays before Topix or even after Trendalicious |

It's articles like this that make me miss Abused News Quote: Artist turns dead cat into 'Orvillecopter' as a tribute The Orvillecopter by Dutch artist Bart Jansen flies in a gallery during the KunstRAI art festival in Amsterdam June 3, 2012. Jansen said the Orvillecopter pays tribute to his cat Orville, after it was killed by a car. For photos and a video clip, clicky http://www.calgaryherald.com/Artist+turns+dead+into+Orvillecopter+tribute+video+photos/6726468/story.html Two burning questions: Does Orville still always land on his "feet?" Will anybody repeat this with a (naturally) deceased pet pig? |

I enjoyed the game as well, even though it seemed to rely a bit too heavily on "News of the Weird" for questions. Of course, knowing that made it easier to make the boards as a solo player, which is what I was back in the day. |

I like the game back then also, I had a simple reason why. The game was full of fresh questions the same reason why I liked the premium and specialty games, fresh questions. Now, if I wanted to play I could play CD with a limited database, or repeat Premium and Specialty games. Not much to look forward to nowadays. On that note my bathroom remodel is going well, Rant over.. |

I actually have a really good idea on this that could bring it back, and make Buzztime some money. Going to talk to a few people and float it up to Buzztime. It would also had some players for them! |

When I found the game, I was not yet online at home, but I read at least three newspapers daily. I did OK. |

I liked the game because it ensured the writers were writing new questions on a regular basis. Heck, the game even used to run daily. Buzztime workers writing new questions on a daily basis - imagine that!  Now, the new questions added to the database are few & far in between - even for the premium games
