Directx 9.0c for AGS. Can't help it, this just sounds hilarious.
6DAS pushes AGS to its limits!

Well, I beat it, and I did like the ending, if only because it's not particularly ambigous--it actually gives us all the details we need.
SPOILERS:
I'm just glad that, ultimately, Trilby is victorious. Of all of these, he's easily my favorite character and he's one of the more interesting characters I've really seen in awhile, even if he seems to range quite oddly from being cold and detached to be crazy emotional, he's still a fairly deep sort of guy who is the ultimate hero of the entire series.
Also, for all the Time Travel business, isn't there that theory that time isn't taking place in a progression, but all at once? I mean, you've seen the Fountain, right? If Yahtzee hasn't seen it, I'll eat my hat, because 6DAS makes several homages to teh Fountain, especially with the Malcom Somerset character.
Example: In the Fountain (which is one of the finest motion pictures ever made you should go buy it and build a shrine in its honor), the main character is searching for eternal life, which is ultimately only granted after coming to terms with death. In the Fountain, the main character is dealing with the exact same tragedy in three different time zones, with slight differences between them, and they all coincide at exactly the same point. One of the incarnations of the main character is a shaven-headed man in a robe who ends up bridging all three timelines and interacting with everything involved in order to pave the way for enlightenment, and, ultimately, death.
In 6DAS, we have Malcom who ends up dying in order to become an all-seeing avatar of Destiny, who goes back between all three time lines in order to pave the way for the events that are yet to come, thus ultimately proving that time itself is not linear at all. Also, as the avatar, he becomes a bald-headed man in a robe. It's pretty interesting, really.
END SPOILERS

Not unless you count the rantings of a drugged anencephalic a "theory," since the very concepts of "all at once" and "in progression" could only really be effectively described in terms of time and if you think that every point in time occurs at the same point in time then you probably need either more or less medicine.

The best way to figure that is to get the knife and use it on yourself.
I managed to pull off an adventure game joke.
What do I win?

My laughter. Maybe a doughnut.
