There are many things I would call him but stupid is not one of them, he holds a PhD in theoretical physics from Cambridge, held various postdoctoral positions at quite prestigious places and recently he got his assistant professorship at a quite well known University.

Adventure games do not, even remotely, pose intellectual challenges, they're just computer games. Why do you assume that people who play them do so for the intellectual challenge and people who don't are mainly uneducated?
Good point. Myst, RHEM, Dark Fall... these all pose no challenges...
