Well, its coming, in a short four years, the Mayan calendar reached its abrupt end, a calendar well known for accurately predicting eclipses hundreds of years in the future. So I ask you fellows at the Escapist forums, what do you think will happen?
Poll: December 21,2012. What do you think will happen?

Nothing. It's just Y2K all over again. End of the world hysteria that will be proven wrong.
Plus, eclipses have nothing to do with the end of the world.

Idiots will pick some other date to obsess over. Those who have made money on THIS theory will retcon like nobodies business.
I think that the Mayans would have continued to make the calendar, but they were busy. Busy being raped and pilaged by the European invaders.
Wait...maybe it continues on the other side. Quick! Someone flip that ginormous rock over!

This is like reading the front cover of the Sun, that papershit-quality magazine that exists solely to predict coming disasters and end of the world scenarios (usually invoking Nostradamus).
The only good part in reading the cover (and by cover I mean I will never, ever OPEN the cover) is knowing that none of it will EVER come true. Then this is made bitter again by the fact that the shitzine is still in print. I hate you capitalism!

It isn't even supposed to be the end of the world, what I've read said that there was supposed to be some massive celebration due to the ending of one Long Count of the Mayan Calender.
Maybe the Mayans just got tired of predicting the celestial forecast and gave up on some random date.
This is as stupid as believing Nostradamus.
Write this down people: On...wait it's coming to me.... July, yes that it.... Ju...July the 28th, ummmmm... 4258. Okay so on 28th of July 4258 the world will end. Mark it down people because.....

If the world ends, life was fun and I did my best.
If it doesn't end, I continue on with my life and wonder if EA will carry out it's plan for world domination.
Either way, if the world does end I want it to end in one of two ways: Everything bursts into flames for no reason or reality ceasing to exist as a result of Blizzard and Valve finally merging together on the same day Yahtzee finally puts Branston Pickle onto No More Heroes.

Eclipses...nothing more, a series of common clockwork like phenomena.Dancingman said:
World ends are impossible to predict. If the world was going to end why didnt they say who will cause it so we can shoot the in the face and be done with it? Or build lots of really BIG lasers to fend off those pesky aliens...or whatever.
My friends and I will grab some beers and camp out on a rooftop, because if the world does end that night, well, we can't miss that.
We did it earlier this year when some nut had put up posters talking about how if we looked at the night sky we'd see spaceships that had come from Aldebaran which came to warn us about the tear in the atmosphere, as prophesized in the Bible as part of one of the six seals of the Apocalypse. Nothing happened, but we had a pretty good night, and now I have a sweet poster to hang on my wall.
