'If you put govt in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 yrs there'd be a shortage of sand'~M. Friedman |
Today is December 21, 2011. As most everyone knows by now, the world is scheduled to end one year from today according to the Mayan calender. So I just wanted to say good luck to everyone, it's been nice knowing you all and I'll see you on the other side (I have no idea what that means). Also, I thought maybe people might want to share what they plan to do in their last year on earth. As for me, I have sold all my personal possessions and am planning a trip around the world to begin just after the New Year. I'll be traveling by whatever mode of transportation I can find. I want to meet as many people as I can, listen to some interesting stories and see places I've never seen before. It should be quite an experience. Oh who am I kidding. I'm not doing that at all. I'll be sitting on my ass as usual and waiting to see what happens from the safety of my own residence.

I'm going to spend the next year doing all the things one shouldn't do. I'm going to drink lots, eat even more, spend long nights with women of questionable moral character... you get the picture. I'm still going to be smart about it though... you know... gotta use protection just in case the Mayans were wrong. That way I can live on after the supposed end of the world never comes. I'm also going to punch a lot of people in the face.. repeatedly and as this is frowned upon by the local authority my insanity plea will come in handy where I can spout about how I believed the world was going to end. I mean, only crazy people believe in this stuff anyways.... right? No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga- |

Originally posted by pyrofreak I know. The Mayan calender simply comes to an end on that date. The Mayans never said that means the end of the world. It's just that peoples' imaginations have led to that conclusion more than any other. My personal opinion is that the Mayan scribe simply got tired of recording the days of the calender that far out in advance and just quit. He probably said, "Look, I've written this thing out a thousand years into the future, everyone around today will be dead by then, that's it. I'm stopping right here." But let's face it, it sure has made for an exciting doomsday scenario. Edit: Oh, also it is kind of interesting that they did arrive at a date when humans could potentially kill themselves off and at a time when a lot of freaky stuff is happening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tK6YIAX1jg |

They believe the world is going to end, but the fun part is brainstorming how :D 1.) All the extinct dinosaurus will suddenly become ressurected and eat everybody 2.) Robotics will advance super ultra fast, skynet will be created on the 20/12/12 and malfunction the next day 3.) Mars will be pissed at Earth not accepting its FB friend request and decide to ram straight into Earth That's alI I got for now lol |

While this is nothing more than a pre-historic lunar calendar cycling back to it's starting position, I will, for damned sure, be taking advantage of impressionable ladies who think this might be the last year on earth.

No more alcohol and weed for me in 2012+ I want to start off the new cycle being enlightened, on a good foot. Weird since the pisces cycle is ending (and I'm Pisces) so I guess I'll let all my destructive ways die with the cycle and look forward to the new one! =D Next we enter Aquarius, which postulates that man will become enlightened and save the earth! D=
Eh: I had it backwards for a second, sorry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Aquarius "Ages are believed by some astrologers to affect mankind while other astrologers believe the ages correlate to the rise and fall of mighty civilizations and cultural tendencies. Aquarius traditionally "rules" electricity, computers, flight, democracy, freedom, humanitarianism, idealists, modernization, astrology, nervous disorders, rebels and rebellion.[5] Other keywords and ideas believed associated with Aquarius are nonconformity, philanthropy, veracity, perseverance, humanity and irresolution.[6] The appearance or elevation in status of many of these Aquarian developments over the last few centuries is considered by many astrologers to indicate the proximity of the Aquarian age. There is no uniform agreement about the relationship of these recent Aquarian developments and the Age of Aquarius. Some astrologers believe that the influence of a New Age is experienced before it arrives because of a cuspal effect or Orb of Influence. Other astrologers believe the appearance of Aquarian developments, indicate the actual arrival of the Age of Aquarius."
Ok, if you read those peoples' interpretations, below this quote on the link, I guess the new age can go either way, good or bad bad...(just some really cool food for thought) =D |

Everyone should set up a playlist of post-apocalyptic games to play through in 2012, MMOs and non-MMOs included! What would your list look like? Michael "MikeB" Bitton |

Originally posted by Brenelael I think what he means is...compile a list of post-apocalyptic games to play from now until the world's destruction next year to get you in the mood for being obliterated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tK6YIAX1jg |

Originally posted by Zindaihas Obliterated you say? Why wait till the end of next year, we can do that a lot sooner. We just gotta find a wattering hole that's basically in the middle of nowhere... like in lets say Nebraska? No required quests!

Originally posted by Illius That's not the kind of obliterated I'm referring to. I'm talking about getting smashed, ripped, pounded, bli...ugh...I'm digging myself into a bigger hole, aren't I? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tK6YIAX1jg |

Didnt the Mayans belive the Earth was flat, and four panthers holding it up or something like that? Anyway, i dont feel that is the kind of people i wanna take advice about "the end of the world" from. |
