Game Quickie - Dennis Miller: That's News to Me

[NeuroManson]

I actually owned this game, so sad, so bad.

In humor, timing is very important. I think with 5 seconds of dead silence between each joke, the delivery really suffers. I'm not a fan of laughtracks, but maybe a studio audience or better preloading of the clips would have helped. Of course the biggest problem is that the chosen jokes become dated way too fast, hindering replayability after the mid 90's.

Very interesting to see a glimpse of how the CD-ROM era was ushering in the concept of semi-interactive video (DVDs).

The dinosaur joke was slightly clever.

i agree, this isn't a real game. who's dennis miller anyway? the responses aren't even jokes, but fun facts!

@MilaG21

Dennis Miller did the weekend update on Saturday Night Live in the 90s. He was then followed by Kevin Nealon and then Norm Macdonald after that.

[2brello]

Yikes.

Its like popping something in just to keep people slightly entertained while you set up a board game or something.

[TonicBH]

The Red Hot Chili Peppers joke only makes sense if you really know stuff about the band.

Dennis Miller is not in his prime here. Then again, he never really was in his prime.

[TheAnythingkid]

ummmm.......... not so good :(

[KryptonsSon]

Wow. How unfunny. I can't imagine that anyone actually bought this "game" :D

[marvelmania]

i get the jokes but they are not funny. And I don't think they are not funny because they are dated. I find the deliverence of them really lame.

Besides I'm european so Dennis Miller IS news to me ;)

(bah that was so lame that could have spawned off from the game)

[ZionKraze]

I didn't get any of those jokes.

[AdvertisePlay]

I can't post on your forums! I'm a mean troll!

[AlucardsQuest]

The irony is that he was funnier back then, and now he's even worse.

[archounduser10]

boring

[stefmano88]

cough...cough...

[princemercury]

Definitely not his A material indeed.

[milincoln]

This game/dvd sucks. They might be jokes he's telling but he has no style and they just come off as a boring guy talking.

[KenBuddY1985]

I swear those were the worst jokes I have ever heard...and you know that Ben!

[TheCaptainHash]

Clinton goes to camp? Is that like

Ernest goes to camp?

[ikaz47]

Wow...

[gutterguy720]

wow. That was painful to watch.

[tchdotshow]

do you call this jokes it sucks but for you video 5/5 and for the game 1.2/5

[Disthron]

I have to say, I thought that was pretty lame. XD

[transparencypro]

the Thesaurus was the only thing i found funny, but where is the real Dennis miller game, that would be something to play. interesting find.

[piebot8675309]

i laughed at the one with the higher taxes on alcahol and beer.

ONLY that one

[edge4552]

he's not funny, and he has no delivery

[braineaterknux]

Well to be honest I didn't find many of the jokes funny, but maybe that's because it's American comedy, or because the jokes were based on old news.

Still, it was interesting to see you review such a niche game, and I hope you review more 3DO games in the future.

[Mysky88]

I only laughed at the blood donation joke..Good review 8D

[Highretrogameblood89]

*applauds*

THANK YOU!!! =D

Since I saw this on a site (can't remember which one it was, guess GameSpot) I always wondered what this game looks and plays like. But I haven't seen any videos of it, and now finally I do!!! =D

[adamthegamer2008]

awesome review! This game looks terrible, yet somewhat awesome!

[KamikazeXero]

You claim first on a video, but cant even spell "Comment" correctly. Were you in that much of a hurry that you thought you'd get made fun of if you weren't the actual first comment on a video that has as of now 84 views? You fail!
