Title: What's in YOUR Big Blue Cup?
Post by: HammerBlade on Wed 19/12/2007 00:19:42
What's in MY Big Blue Cup?  Well, I like to have coffee in it, mainly, although lately it's been filled with green tea. 
What comes OUT of my Big Blue Cup?  Lately, an attempt at emulating a card game.

My blue cup is full of helpful advise. And adviceful help, too.

[NOTE:  This was in response to ManiacMatt's post above.]

I was just ranting about how weird it was that someone gave me a big blue cup(mug) right around the same time I started working on a game using AGS.  The picture I was posting was a picture of that very cup, but the link didn't seem to work.

The original idea behind this thread was to answer the question "I wonder how many AGSers actually have big blue cups?", as well as generate discussion on what they like to use their cup for (favorite beverage, pen/pencil holder, flowers, etc.), and perhaps how the contents of that cup aid in the individuals production of adventure games.  (Of course, if one doesn't have such a cup they can pretend they do for the purposes of discussion on what they would use it for.)

In my case, for example, I most like to use my cup for coffee, although it's been mostly filled with green tea lately.  The caffeine boost helps, although the mere idea of drinking from a big blue cup helps me motivate myself to get to work on projects I may be working on.

I find that my Big Blue Cup is mostly full of Jack Daniel's.
It helps me think of sureal Situations.
Can't imagine why! ;)

I used to use my big blue cup to catch water leaks from my celling or air conditioner...now I use a white mug.

I have 2 big blue cups, and they are primarily for tea or cold hot chocolate.

My blue cup is only blue on the inside and is somewhat of a knick-knack, so mostly it's only ever filled with the blue paint which lines its innards.

I have 4 blue cups, which I've got my mum filling with tea, in relay.  No milk, two sugars.  I've tried lacing that tea with tequila in the past, but that wasn't one of my finest hours.  Three I bought, and one I robbed from work.

As for output, I'm finally starting to begin a project*.   As of writing this, I'm currently finding things to distract me before making walkcycles in Toon Boom Studio.  It looks rather daunting.  The 378 page manual's not much of a comfort, either.

Really really watery coffee. I was out of coffee today, so it tastes more like milk and sugary water than coffee.

Depends on whom you ask. Most people like to refer to it as "What the hell is that, TAR?!", but I just call it "strongish coffee".

Mostly it contains various flavours of tea, rooibos or other such infusions. Sometimes coffee (light roast), which I love but my bowels hate. All of these I sweeten with copious amounts of sugar. The only type of hot beverage I put milk in is the dark, Brazilian coffee a friend likes to brew.

And occasionally, if I've been a really good boy, my wife surprises me with a big blue cup of hot chocolate with a generous splash of scotch whisky. Those moments of bliss are one of the few things that make me forget how much I dislike the Finnish winter.

OOK, you do realise, that the more you squeeze it, the harder it gets, the tighter the atoms are, the less movement there is, and the less liquid it it. Thusly when you heat things up they turn to liquid, and in fact take more space than what they used to ;)

My Big Blue Cup is filled with tea at least 3 times a day. If I don't get my tea, I get a head ache. I'm not proud of it, but I really really need my tea to relax. Also, shamefully, my cup isn't blue, it's black and it says YES '35 on the side. But drinking from this cup for 5 years now, I can't change it :) A teacup is a great holder for a beercan btw. It fits just right in, doesn't fall, and you get a handle :)

I've just realised I don't actually own a big blue cup... I should buy one.
