Just like the title says.

How about a little music to play us out*?

(Or perhaps, you have alternate tastes in style.)

Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed the world! I know I have!
(I look forward to seeing you all next year. :D)

* (More on that because I can. Those guys were insane... but amazingly honorable.)


EDIT/Double Post: I can't believe I didn't think to look for this before for my OP! The movie on YouTube. I do not actively promote it, as I've no idea the legalities of anything involved. I'm just providing the link because of how incredibly appropriate it is!

While I edited my OP to put it in, I instead made it a double post just in case the Mods decided to delete this. :)

Well, I tried to let the world end...but then this bloody annoying PARTY OF ADVENTURERS just showed up out of the blue and SAVED THE WORLD. *sigh* I hate it when that happens!!

You failed us all, Nymian. You failed us all.

Looks like we're still here.

And I was listening to the perfect music as midnight rolled around too.

It's the end of the world...and I feel fine.


... well I feel cheated.

:)

We're in a new world, now, fellas! A new world!

EDIT: I mean, really? Really?! I spent the end of one world and beginning of another watching this? Sigh... :)

And I would wave gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!

The Doctor did it! He saved us all!

Well, if the world did end, I'll have to send up a complaint to the Heavenly Department of Afterlifes, as I was expecting Catholic Heaven to have a no-pants clause.

And I'm still wearing pants. Something isn't right here.

Or maybe I went the other way and that's why I'm wearing pants! Curses!

Give him a break; he's got a glandular problem.

You try moving twenty solar masses and you'll see. Not his fault the Mayans just gave him two thousand years of notice. The man's gotta was up and everything.

In a moment of semi-seriousness, the Mayan calendar marks this day as an end of an ERA (not of the world). A new era begins tomorrow. Let's all work to make it a good one.

Well, that's another doomsday under my bed. I'm going to stop counting my age in years and use these instead.


A new era... sounds great. I have heard it said that it will mark a "shift in global consciousness". Apparently, people will stop thinking about themselves. Instead humanity will live more like ants, with complete uniformity and total obedience to the collective.

Good thing those who preach this don't have a political agenda, huh?

This is what we get for outsourcing our astronomical calculations to the Maya...


New World? Ok, so who'll turn into orc first?

How could it be the end of the world when it snowed last night? ;)

(Just a brief aside, that's pretty much exactly what both the wikipedia articles mentioned that I linked to in the OP. Also, today is the new era, because the last day was the 20th, if I read correctly. Otherwise, carry on, everyone!)

And my parade of urging everyone to be hopeful is rained upon by pedantry. I love gamer forums.

The rain falls, the wind blooms, and gamers talk semantics on the internet.

Such is the way of things.

Frankly, part of me always half expects God to spring the actual end of the world like a day and a half after the declared apocalypses just to mess with us.

I'm mostly waiting for Nostradamus' prophesies to be 're-examined' again and tell us all the world is going to end, as usual Current Year + 5.

I wonder what the next one is going to be. Mayans again (we recalculated!), another guy with some sort of bizarre biblical code or something, or maybe a neat new one.


My greatest question right now is: What will History Channel be about starting tomorrow?


I am hoping that the Rapture is real and happens someday, but it turns out the only beings which are raptured are monotremes

Yes...Platypi are actually God's chosen people

A return to an unending run of World War II documentaries?


Changing back to the hitler channel

The environmental apocalypse is still 50 years away. It was quietly updated during 2011 from the earlier schedule of 2050 to 2060.

Hey, you know, that's what I'm here for, DQ!

That's all I'm here for...

You sick bastard! You- oh, pedantry. Nevermind.


That... that makes me die a little inside.

(And to get pedantic, DQ, I wasn't trying to be pedantic, but helpful. Now, if you wanted me to get truly pedantic, well...)

I heard the new era was supposed to be all about the haves and the have-nots. The divide between rich and poor will expand to ridiculous proportions. But then a Mayan leader pointed to the year 2012 as proof of the lasting power of the Mayan civilization... so it should be taken as some Mayan's opinions.

As for the end times... Jesus said only God the father knows the timing. Certainly he didn't include the Mayan fan boys, religious numerologists, psychics, prophets, astrologers (eastern or western), drug dosed doom sayers, economists, politicians, hippies, cult leaders, or anyone else who thinks they know but really don't have a clue.

Damn, my brother is still feeling sleepy. I was certain the stars would be coming right.

I should get him an alarm clock for Christmas.

We have got to get him gifts for Christmas?!?

I didn't even know we Eldritch Horrors even celebrate Christmas.

Why does no one tell me these things?!?!


Because you're the least of the spawn, and no one likes you. You are bad and should feel bad.


Man ^ that guy's a jerk. Don't listen to him least spawn. You should feel good about yourself.

Also sexy.

EDIT: Always remember, just believe in yourself! And one day, if you work hard, you can be chaotic good!

EDIT 2: to make it more like what Mikaz- er, I mean myself would say.


Bah! No spawn of no eldritch things gonna be no lawful and especially not good! Everything will die and be corrupt forever!

Thank you! I do feel good about myself! Having a purpose can make an unspeakable horror feel truly confident about itself.

We may not have wiped out the human race this time around, but that doesn't mean we won't keep trying! We don't let little set-backs like utter and complete failure get us down! :)

Now if we can just find out who these guys in those blue boxes were that thwarted all our plans...


Just try it, the Doctor has beaten Lovecraftian Horrors before!
