Introduction (and Purpose): It’s late, I’m bored and I’m screwing with the GameFinder thingy on GameSpot, part of my GameSpot Complete Membership (Copyright CNET 2002, All Rights Reserved, I am CNET’s biatch). The following uses the scientific method.
Observation: GameSpot scores reviews on a scale from 1.0 to 10.0. Some reviews must score a 6.9. “69” is a short-hand, venacular description of simultaneous fellatio and cunnilingus.
Hypothesis: Using Beavis and Butthead humor, I predict a select few PC games with a 6.9 score from GameSpot will be funny.
Test Procedure: Search parameters are entered using the following GameFinder parameters: PC, 1998-2002, Released, GameSpot score of 6 to 7. Sort to find 6.9 scores.
Results: In total, there were 33 games which scored a 6.9. I discovered 8 funny results (in descending order of subjective funniness):
Championship Bass
Professional Bull Rider 2
Spaceward Ho! IV
Of Light and Darkness
Tom Clancy’s Rogue Spear: Black Thorn
Tomb Raider III
Rama
Hexplore
And now, the full results:

Conclusion: The results were about as humorous as I expected: Beavis and Butthead would enjoy it. As well as the readers of VE3D.
Conclusion #2: BMX XXX scored a 5.4 (PS2 and XBOX). Not funny.
