I took a face book quiz once and it said that I will somehow survive the apocalypse and restart a new generation with my girlfriend. The main problem is I don't have one right now and I'm not ready to restart a generation yet. :lol:

There is a great movie about an apocalypse that was made in the early 1960's. I think the name of it is Panic in the Year Zero. Very entertaining.

Don't worry we'll clone the Kinks and make them immune to bio terrorism and radiation sickness.
I'll also cryogenically freeze You Am I. They can do some good Rolling Stones covers...and they're own music is alright too.

I always fantasize about bringing the destruction of society with a Neutron bomb.
I think if we do restart the human species we need to regress the part of the brain that makes man think they're smarter than animals. And do away with all this technology and fashion nonsense.

Oh btw I'm not serious about the whole Neutron bomb thing. That would take far too much preparation. It's more an empty threat I tell people.

You don't need an apocalypse for that; how about the idea of moving to a new earth-like planet or being transported a million years into the past?

I like both of those ideas. Time travel or transportation is fascinating.

Apocalypse is unlikely, but it does happen from time to time. For example, one fine morning about 65 million years ago the dinosaurs were in for a Big Surprise. No one expects the Spanish Apocalypse!

I'm hoarding ammo for the great plastic bottle uprising of 2020. They gain sentience in 2015.

I wonder what kind of real-world scenario could result in the collapse of society. In science fiction there's stuff like a deadly flu strain developed by the CDC and released into the wild.


The news this year has kept bringing up the possibility of cyber warfare/biological warfare which would be a pretty winning combination as far as complete breakdown of civilisation is concerned. Although there's also the fact that the human population is growing at an unsustainable rate in terms of life expectancy, food production, energy levels. It's not completely outside the realms of possibility.

Really want to see the Walking Dead - read loads of articles about it in Empire Magazine and SFX. Sadly we haven't got the channel that's it's showing on on our TV package though.

Oh, there coming. I have seen and hear the invisible and silent black helicopters. They are coming, in fact they are on the way. Ready yourselves to fight for humanities mere survival.

The only problem is I haven't figured out who "they" is and what they want.

I don't personally believe anything will happen on 2012 (aside from the obvious effects of self-preservation and mob mentality).

But I do hope there will be an apocalypse of some kind. Am I certain that I'll survive? f**k no. But damn, it would be a welcome change of pace.

I think the whole 2012 thing will turn out the same way as the Millenium Bug did - there'll be a massive media hoo-ha about how life as we know it is going to crumble around us and then it'll get to the end of another eventful-but-in-a-non-apocalyptic-way year and all the doom-mongerers will be sheepishly standing around shuffling their feet. Only Roland Emmerich will be happy because he'll no doubt re-release 2012 and rake in another shedload of money from it.

Post-apocalyptic fiction is my favorite. Ever read The Stand?


I love that book. It's one of my favorites. Hate how pretty much all the awesome people die horribly.. :roll:

It would make an interesting plot for a fictious novel. I think it would be too scary irl since everyone is so dependent on everyone else. We aren't accustomed to surviving on our own. Maybe, on a deserted island the same results could be obtained but it wouldn't be so permanent.

So should record a song, "Party Like it is 2011?"
