What's with this blue cup?

Anghellic · Fri 14/04/2006 18:05:41

Well I was just chilling around at this forum and thought: " hey let's make an adventure game togheter with my friend". So asked my friend what he thought about this idea. He said something like: "wtf adventure games?

?". So I figured, i'll paste him this site and that will clear things up for him. Well at first he didn't want to open it because he thought it was some nasty porn site or something. When I finnally managed to force him to open it I thought: " hÃ© he's right, the name bigbluecup actually makes no sense..." So:

Who came up with that wicked blue cup and what does it mean??

Its origins lie far back in time, when the source code for Adventure Creator 1.0 fell through a hole in the space/time continuum, and into CJ's waiting hard drive. Oddly enough, it was not discovered for several years, and was stumbled upon quite by chance, mixed in amongst CJ's vast collection of cup porn.

That's not what I heard.

It was in fact a blue cup that CJ had been too lazy to move from his desk. It sat there, for many years, this big blue cup. The mould inside had previously been the remants of coffee, but you wouldn't know from looking. One day, CJ finally decided to remove the cup due to the foul odour it was creating. He peered insdie the mug. Behold! A new lifeform had evolved from his waste! The lifeform was so intelligent that it taught CJ how to write computer code. His gratitude was displayed by giving his AGS website the name of their hometown, the big blue mug.

lol but I have also heard different...

Cj was being attacked by various alien life forces who, everyday and every night, would force him to program games for them. One day, a alien said, "This game is garbage!" and he attempted to kill CJ. As CJ closed his eyes waiting for an alien death beam to strike him dead, a blue cup suddenly came to the rescue! Using it's blue cup powers, it eliminated the alien race, which is why we can't find aliens today. Afterwards, using his knowledge of programming, he created Adventure Game Studio and him and blue cup came to an agreement and decided to use the blue cup as the AGS avatar.

Would you see it any other way? I don't think so...

Sorry to ruin everyones fun, but apparently that was the extent of CJ's drawing ability and needed something to be an inventory object... and it just kinda became the symbol and logo of AGS. Ask Pumaman.

Nine out of ten Cuppits disagree with you!

Even though magintz's theory is probable, the orgin of the Blue Cup is not known for certain. Ã,Â AGS historians and mythology experts have debated this for many years, but have yet to come upon scientific evidence to prove the orgin of the Blue Cup.

As a result of the Blue Cup's mysterious orgins and meaning, many offshoot religions have been formed to worship it's seemingly endless supply of life and power. Ã,Â Unsubstantiated rumors claim that sacrifices have been made in it's name, but this is just talk.

No no no...

The big blue cup is the way CJ hid this brilliant technology from Lucas *ilms and Si**ra. Cj had to hide it in some womens big blue cup in order for it not to be detected where he could gladly upload it onto the internet for all to see!

No seriously no idea you will have to get the pumaman on this.

Guys, guys

You've all been consumed by this endless debate about Blue Cup that leads to nowhere but division among your brethren. You've argued so much that you've forgotten how the Blue Cup is to be worshipped. Please, think of your actions, the days of the Anti-Blue Cup are near!

Pshh yeah right! IT'S A COVER UP!!

Okay, but why is it big blue cup?

To my mind the true blue cup is quite small. Is there perhaps a larger mother-cup about which we know nothing?

Because, the website itself is a big blue cup. How do you think all the forums and forum members fit here?

sergiocornaga · Sat 15/04/2006 23:39:03

I think the big just came about randomly from the time when www.agsforums.com got all overloaded and had to be replaced.
