Totally Rad

If Bill and Ted made a video game, it would be one of the Bill and Ted games. If Bill and Ben from Seiken Densetsu III designed a video game, it would be Ren and Stimpy: Time Warp because they want you to suffer.
Our protagonist, who is now named Jake, even looks like Keanu Reeves.
Japan’s Magic John had a generic plot about magic or whatever. Then the translators were all like “dude, I am like totally going to change this game to Bill and Ted! Radical! Gnarly! Dude! Sweet!” Wait, that’s a different movie. And, no, I am not going to to write this in surfer slang. If you so desire, there must be a Dude Where’s My Car website dialectizer out there.
I think what happened is that there was a focus group and they we’re like “we need to be down with the kids. Can we surferify it by 10% and put everything in more of a hip-hop context? And make him more proactive. We’re talking about a totally outrageous paradigm” and then the people actually working on the game decided to go all out to the point of parody.
( clickity-pok )
burning question: Excuse me, but “proactive” and “paradigm?” Aren’t these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I’m accusing you of anything like that.
