Adventure Game Scene of the Day - Sunday, 25 September 2016
Crude graphics doesn’t take anything from the recognizable spirit of the show, as this is one of the best “TV licence” adventure you’ll see. I’ve never been a fan of Beavis and Butt-Head (give me The Simpsons/Family Guy game instead), but there are certain high-point works in American culture, like The Breakfast Club or Ghost World that manage to paint the bleak, surreal and satirical picture of the USA, and Beavis&Butt;-Head along with Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity rises up to that standard.
Recently finished: Four Last Things 4/5, Edna & Harvey: The Breakout 5/5, Chains of Satinav 3,95/5, A Vampyre Story 88, Sam Peters 3/5, Broken Sword 1 4,5/5, Broken Sword 2 4,3/5, Broken Sword 3 85, Broken Sword 5 81, Gray Matter 4/5\nCurrently playing: Broken Sword 4, Keepsake (Let\‘s Play), Callahan\‘s Crosstime Saloon (post-Community Playthrough)\nLooking forward to: A Playwright’s Tale
I was never a big fan of Beavis & Butt-Head either, but I can enjoy it in small doses (just like most other works by Mike Judge). x
However, I played the demo for this and absolutely loved it, and I even liked Beavis & Butt-Head Do U., so I don’t get why I never got around to playing this one in full…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Also not a big fan of Beavis and Butthead, was not the target demographic when it was on (age or country) and didn’t age well after. Never played the games.
However I’m a fan of Judge’s other works - Office Space and Idiocracy are all time classics. Extract was ok, Sillicon Valley is good
Wow, I totally forgot Mike Judge did Office Space. I love that movie. Maybe I should check out Idiocracy.
One thing I never ever got the appeal of though was King of the Hill. Beavis and Butthead wasn’t really my thing either, but it’s a lot better than that.
And to be on topic for a second, I did play this game back in the day. It’s a pretty solid game.
Hilarious and so was its sequel, “Do U”.
I even got hooked on the tv series (when nobody was looking, of course). The idiocy was priceless.

Just a fun tidbit:
A proto-version of Lumbergh from Office Space could already be found in Virtual Stupidity.
Check out this tennis player here, and compare with Lumbergh himself.

Thread necromancy again to say that’s amazing. It literally is the same.
