Fun thought, did the Directors of Sony and Microsoft avoid developing their new consoles until 2013 because they were convinced it would be fruitless, stressful and ultimately pointless as the world was going to end?

Good thing they gave into their engineers for a quiet life, allowing them to pull out of their arses, nothing but an announcement, and an Old VCR with a new logo and Television, Television, Sports and Call of Dog. Big smile

Shiigeru Miyamoto is the babbeh Jeebus, spoilers (he ages backwards! Shocked ) and Nintendo is run by the Lizardmen. Why else would Nintendo be up with the WiiU after the XboxOne announcement Cool

I had my own 2012 worry, specifically I spent most of the day indoors to avoid the prospect of nut jobs.

They'll be back, with excuses as to why the world didn't end as they predicted. And then they'll make a new prediction which all the other nut jobs will belive and the cycle begins again..

They end of the World was halted by a cheap Monty Python gimic that involved a hand grenade from St Attila, a wooden badger, and two empty halves of coconuts.

I spent my childhood (Baptist) dreading 1986.

That was when the The Rapture would happen....or so I was told.

This kind of crap can really mess one up for years psychologically. Some overly religious people need to seriously be in prison.

How do you know that? They may have shapeshifted to crab people.

They're busily data-mining to find the next not-so-distant date/event whereby they might with some* plausibility gull a new batch of idiots.

The crab people decided that invasion needed to be pushed back becasue too many people seemed to be prepared.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Some theories I've seen:

1) On 12/21, a shift did happen. We passed from the Age of Capricorn(?) to the Age of Aquarius. The previous age was characterized as being earthy, pragmatic, and competition-oriented. The new one is characterized as being more creative, intellectual and savant-like. Something like that. Have you noticed the difference? Smile

2) The shift started happening around 2007, reached a sort of apex on 12/21, and will keep happening for another 10 years or so.

3) The shift didn't happen. Because the enlightened people who were supposed to help bring it about didn't do their part. They were still hanging onto bad old habits. The shift is still ready to happen when the enlightened people manage to pull their heads out.
