Today is...........

[MercurySteam]

..... 26th of October 2010. Sometime today Captain Nathaniel Renko will crash on Katorga-12, an island off the shore of Russia. He will at some point travel back in time and save Nikolai Demichev from being killed in 1955 and change the present as we know it.

At least that's how Singularity tells it.

So Escapists, are there any significant events that you know will happen at some point on a specific day?

Today is the 26th of October 2010 and I should be getting ready for my geometry midterm.

On October 27, in the year 2077 the bomb will drop and all will be lost.

Nothing specific not mentioned in the future, but I remember when I got Ghost Recon (first one) many many years a go, I thought to my self I'd make sure to check if Russia actually would go into Georgia in 2008, and lo and behold.

At exactly 12:06 gmt+1, the 26th of october 2010, i will have a sip of my coffee mug!

My predictions was right! And the coffee was excellent!

today is 3 June 1942 and a US-led task force off Indonesia in 2021 finds itself sent back to 1942, just prior to the Battle of Midway.

1825 ? The Erie Canal, connecting the Great Lakes with the Hudson River and hence the Atlantic Ocean, was opened.

1937 ? Second Sino-Japanese War: Xie Jinyuan and National Revolutionary Army soldiers began the Defense of Sihang Warehouse against waves of Japanese attackers during the Battle of Shanghai.

1944 ? World War II: In one of the largest naval battles in modern history, Allied forces defeated the Imperial Japanese Navy at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the seas surrounding the Philippine island of Leyte.

1955 ? Ngo Dinh Diem (pictured) proclaimed himself president of the newly created Republic of Vietnam after defeating former Emperor Bao Dai in a fraudulent referendum supervised by his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu.

2001 ? U.S. President George W. Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act into law, significantly expanding the authority of U.S. law enforcement agencies in fighting terrorism in the United States and elsewhere.

Oh Wikipedia where would I be without you?

October 23rd is the Great War date. Keep your facts straight.

On July 16, 2012, the Oriental Garden in Haverhill, Massachusetts will see the greatest gathering of Wakefield natives and other interested parties that this world has ever seen---I'm moving home in June of that year after I graduate and throwing myself one EPIC 35th birthday party, some of the invitees to which it will have been 17 years since last I saw them in person when we were in high school together (yay Facebook for giving me an easy way to stay in touch with all of them!)

...and if anyone here can get to Haverhill (Exit 49 off I-495), you can all come too. Chinese food and laughs!

A Dutch writer foresaw it too.

This comment will be found by a descendan of man in the far reaches of the future as a prove of ancestral life, making this A Relic Of the Hallowed Ancestors, and their Escape in to the Zcy'Bhir Si'Pace.


Efforts will be made to figure out the strange code in which it is written, and try to discover the secret of immortality through Hinta'N'Ets

At which point they shall exclaim: Ehapic Whinn!

November 22, 1987, Earth is rebuilt following a devastating nuclear war and falls under the protection of the Earth Defense Directorate. So says the Buck Rogers TV series from 1979.

...Seriously? No one's mentioned this yet? This is obviously the most historical event for this date... Fable 3.

 

[Triangulon]

On December 21st 2012...nothing happened. A Christmas tree will be set alight somewhere in Texas, some teenager will be playing another chapter in Half Life 2 Episode 3, and several people will die from yet another car bomb in Pakistan. But aside from that, not much will really happen.

Thats a bit optimistic. I'm not sure Ep. 3 will be out that soon.

October 26th, 2010.

My last proper day of school, all I've got now is exams and a couple of days where I have to go back to school.

 

[EmzOLV]

Well, today is the day befoer tomorrow.
And tomorrow is the 2nd year anniversary of my best friend committing suicide.
So it's been a LONG week.

Other notable dates are surely my birthday, christmas, and easter, my mum's birthday and my brother's birthday.

Today's the day I have no classes at all so I'll just be hanging in front of a screen doing absolute bullocks.

The year 2050: Humanity is in hiding from the demon hordes. Food is low, water scarce. The population is under one million and decreasing. Meanwhile, tempteratures on the earth plummet due to ash clouds, a tempterature change that reaches the gateway and freezes hell over. The disembodied head of Gabe newell releases half life 2 episode 3.

So by Friday we'll all be ruled by Barisov, Demichev or Renko himself?
