The Apocalypse, Armageddon, Ragnarök, the End Times, whatever you want to call it.

Here's a list of the 10 coolest ways the world as we know it could end.

10. Something dumb - Nuclear war, some other dumb man-made idiocy.

9.Cosmic misfortune - Giant asteroid, black hole, sun exploding, whatever.

8. The Earth just falling apart - continents shattering, volcanoes erupting, storms raging, earthquakes, floods, etc etc. Total mayhem.

7. Declaration of Purgatus by the Imperium of Mankind - This assumes we are only one of the billions of Imperial worlds in the galaxy and we are considered a bunch of heretics. More than likely this would mean a storm of Space Marines falling from the sky to blow us all to smithereens systematically. This is only awesome because of the overwhelming coolness of Space Marines. You would end up dead. There's no arguing that.

6. Time bleeding together - Just imagine what would happen if history randomly bled into the present. Ancient Spartan soldiers appearing in Greece, Roman Legions in Rome, dinosaurs all over the place, Aztecs sacrificing people, knights crusading, all colliding with modern things and things yet to be created. It may not technically END the world, but it sure would throw it into ultimate chaos.

5. Alien Invasion - There's an incalculable variety of ways that could go down. ID4, Halo, War Of The Worlds etc etc etc etc etc. Most of the prove to be pretty cool...if you don't mind being probed.

4. Armageddon - The armies of the 9 Hells and the Abyss pouring forth into our world. Legions of devils and hordes of demons to bring Hell on Earth. Diablo/Hellgate ****final showdown between humanity and evil itself.

3. Metalocalypse - As detailed on the show "Metalocalypse"(sort of) . "The term "Metalocalypse" means "Apocalypse of Metal," and refers to a mystical Sumerian prophecy which Cardinal Revenwood stated was predicted by the "ancient scriptures" to come upon the world if the members of Dethklok were not killed. ("The Metalocalypse has Begun"). Apparently the band is predicted to usher in this prophecy via their Metal music; however the band is utterly clueless to the Metalocalypse (along with most other things, other than their own shallow greed and comfort); however this mystical underworld influence also apparently relates to their uncanny ability to command worldwide attention and effortlessly influence masses of people."

What could be more awesome than metal so powerful and badass that it brings about the apocalypse? Metal is forever!

2. Zombie Apocalypse - Whether by a supernatural necromantic curse or a biological plague, the rising of undead zombie legions leads to an awesome grand finale for the world. Most people don't truely realise what would actually happen in a zombie apocalypse, or understand just how hardcore they need to be to survive it which means the world population would drop to almost nothing but maybe a few thousand of the smartest, most cunning, fastest, strongest, best prepared, and lucky people the world has ever seen. War on the shattered remains of the human world, and indeed the very things humanity created fighting back. Seas of brain hungry shambling undead.

Are you ready for Z-Day?

1. Ragnarök - Also known as Götterdämmerung. The final war of the gods from Norse mythology. All the gods, Valkyries and all the countless Einherjar heroes who've been living it up and battling daily in Valhalla to prepare for this war will finally throwdown with Surtr, Loki, their giant kin, various monsters of legend etc etc etc. War on a truely EPIC scale. Technically the world doesn't end but only a handful of gods and 2 humans survive to recreate and repopulate the world.

Air Conditioning - Actually 106 years old, but dammit if it doesn't deserve to be here.

TV - News, weather, shows, movies, games.

Cell Phones - Mankind's most effective method of instant communication turned portable!

Wikipedia - The 2nd best thing on the internet.

Google - The best thing on the internet.

High-Speed Internet - THE best thing since sliced bread.

Refridgerators - Fresh food, cold drinks.

Microwave Ovens - Hot food, fast.

Windshield Wipers - NOT driving blindly through rainstorms.

Airplanes - The only way to travel long distances is the Wright way.

I've been playing Spore.

I can't believe it.

I've had this game preordered for 2 years and now I finally have it!

Crazyness.

Spore is an incredibly vast game. By that I mean INSANELY vast.

You develope a creature from a tiny multi-cellular organisim up through multiple stage of growth until you crawl out onto land where you continue to evolve further. Eventually you will become the highest form of life inhabiting your planet and will learn to band together into tribes with your fellow creatures. At this time you also get to arm you creatures with axes, armor, hats, clothes etc. Conquer all the rival tribes on your continent to become the dominent species of your world and move on to the civilization stage. In the civilization stage you fight the other tribes of your own kind who have also conquered their rival species for total dominance of your planet. As you go along you will build cities, tanks, cars, boats, battleships, planes, figther jets and learn more and more powers unique to a species who has evolved the way yours has. Eventually you become a single unified planet and develope a space program.

Space......this is where the game really seems to take all that came before and puts it together into one MASSIVE, and virtually endless experience. You start out exploring your planet.....then your solar system...then your neighboing system...then systems within a short distance of you and so on and so forth as you gain more and more powerful interstellar drives for your spacecraft and are able to cross not only your part of the galaxy, but the WHOLE MASSIVE THING! Every single star in this vast ocean has its own set of planets and each planet has the possibility to already hold life. Some of this life that you meet will be as advanced or more advanced than you and you can try to forge alliances or wage wars with the other races living amongst the stars. You can gather spices and artifacts and become a cosmic merchant to fund upgrades for your ship.....and man, there's a LOT of upgrades for your ship. The upgrades that you buy include more and more powerful weaponry to crush the stars or defend your people, abduction beams to transplant creatures and plants and artifacts from one world to another for study orterraforming. Did I mention terraforming? You can unlock tools that allow you to sculpt planet. produce atmosphere, paint planets, cause natural disasters, and even a Deathstar ray to let you put an end to planets. Eventually the game comes full circle and your species starts genetic experimentation and bio-engineering where they start the evolution of a new species.

There's more....I haven't seen it all. It's insane.

This game wants to eat all my free time.

I'm fighting myself to keep this from taking over and making me fail a class >_

Wow....I just went and checked all my stuff across the internet and found that I've written 120 or more blogs in the last couple years.

I had no idea.

It's interesting to see how far I've come in my ability to rant.

Well, I'm officially all setup in my dorm now with the exception of my shiny new PS3 not yet being online due to SFA's ridiculous internet security wackyness.

It's only a matter of time til I figure out how to do it but it's rather annoying.

The trip itself was way longer than normal because our van with all my stuff in it lost a layer of tire..so we had to stop and put on the spare....and then the spare was flat....and then my dad had to drive til he found a gas station with a working air pump (conveniently the first one was broken)....because he didn't want us to just do it the easy way and buy some $3 canned air....

Anyhow...

Well, finally got up here and tried to check in but they told me I needed to go get my school ID first to swipe and get into my room...*walk all the way across campus....ID place is closed til Monday. Great. So I walk back and they tell me I'll just have to get my roommates to let me in.

Well I go eat with my family before they leave and sure enough when I get back all my roommates are out. Yea....locked out. So I go wander around town since Casey is at work going nuts** and thus unable to hang out.

I found the local comic/D&D/Rogue Trader/game store. It's only 1600 feet from my dorm! This is awesome. Of course it started pouring rain for dramatic effect the moment I figured out I was locked out, forcing me to DRIVE 1600 feet rather than walk.. -_- I then found the GIANT local Wal-Mart and a GameStop with a super competent/knowledgeable/friendly staff.

Now the question is do I go to Taco Bell and risk getting locked out again or do I just not eat until tomorrow?

I'm sure I had some other rant to make too....*shrug* Oh well.

**because the university massively overbooked all the dorms because not everyone shows up....but this time most of them did, and as Supreme Commander of Resident Assistants[or whatever] she had to deal with all the angry homeless people.
