But Lili, if you have no computer, what did you make BR on? For that matter, what are you looking at right now?

I give up with you people.

Then you give up with reprehensible ease. I used to be able to look at, and post on, the ags forums with both my Dreamcast and web TV; as you own an Xbox, which no doubt is equipped with Xbox live, you can blatantly do the same thing. As for Beyond Reality, it's existence is quite clearly a mass hallucination caused by our sitting in front of computers all day, fingers poised above the keyboard, gaining both RSI and radiation poisoning; seperately, these things are merely painful and deadly respectively, but together they create a perceptual acquiescence which you, in your maniacal... mania, saw fit to exploit. You evil fucking bitch.

XBOX Live? How can you have XBOX live without an XBOX? I don't have an XBOX.

I don't know what you are talking about.

It's got to be due to some sort of overdose. Which particular drug I haven't decided upon yet. Owns no X-Box but asks about an X-Box port of AGS. The assumption by mid-way through the thread is that she would then be able to play AGS games. Now we must believe that she wishes for somebody to create an imaginary port of AGS to use with her imaginary X-Box. Futhermore, she does not own a PC yet uses one extensively, leaving us to conclude that she only has access via school or work. Or, she has one but does not realize it as she's only used it in a state of somnambulism.

In that case, you're totally fucked. Kill yourself now.

Okay, so the XBOX isn't plausible. How about the Gameboy Advance? :

remixor · Fri 16/01/2004 03:02:39

Man, if that wasn't totally unfeasable it would be awesome.

The Knight · Fri 16/01/2004 04:18:34

I agree. Being able to play AGS games on the Gameboy Advance would rock. But this will probably never happen. Oh well.

And Lili has got me completly confused.

DragonRose · Fri 16/01/2004 04:31:08

I'm fairly certain that's her purpose in life.

Why is AGS for the GBA so unfeasable? I know there is a (free) GBA Devkit, and guiding the cursor with a d-pad is tricky but not impossible (Broken Sword I has - after all - appeared for GBA, and that works).
I'd buy a GBA if there was AGS for it...

Gilbert · Fri 16/01/2004 10:28:09

Heh I think one problem was that the GBA is having a lower resolution (some 240 x 160 I think) than the lowest possible one AGS uses (320 x 200), so IF there would be an GBA port of AGS which can play AGS game files without much modification, it's inevitable that the screen would be either 1. awkwarded squashed to fit, 2. scrolling like h*ll or 3. always loses some border graphics, so IMO it's more feasible to make a custom engine for the console than porting some existing engines.

But then you can also dream of it on GP32!11!

(

heh no, actually I never ownz any handheld game consoles so i don't care)

There's a article one of the people porting Broken Sword to the GBA wrote about the conversion process for graphics and music I think.. it looked really really hard to get it working on a system with such limited memory and sound abilities. There's no way a 256 colour, low res AGS game would run on GBA with the original art and music content even if there was an AGS engine for it.
You'd have to design the games for GBA to make them playable, and personally I found BS on the GBA extremely irritating.

But since you don't have a PC, you can't download any AGS games for the XBOX!

YOU'VE SCREWED YOURSELF THERE!!!! :

I just lost my faith in mankind.

Edit: on second thoughts, perhaps a Yufster Humour Quiz should be part of the forum registration process...

TheYak · Fri 16/01/2004 23:17:47

Don't forget to throw on a Melia-"humor" quiz as well. Maybe a BOYD one would help out a bit also. Oh, and a DG-section and perhaps a Farlander one. Ah, screw it, we're all a bunch of messed up individuals.

Robert Eric · Sat 17/01/2004 02:55:13

Don't lose faith yet, dear programmer. Just hold tight, and you will see true intelligence at play. Of coarse, not from me, but from somebody...

Domino · Sat 17/01/2004 03:05:17

how's this:

a downloadable xbox for the AGS which then can be downloaded to the PS2 for play on the PC?

i know it makes no sense, but its funny.

Maybe Lili has a Mac, not a PC, and maybe the XBox she uses is at a friend's house.

You're definately reading too much into Yufster's psychoses.
