Alright people it's coming, it's only two days away now. How is it gonna happen? How will the world end?

Will it be something biblical or something man made?
Alien invasion maybe?
Or will mother nature finally decide shes got fed up with us and decide to boot us off her for good?

Place your bets now before its too late.




* By the way, if you are the rational sort of person and are looking for the "world is not going to end" answer im sorry but you are out of luck. No such answer in this poll.*

I went with the normal cataclysmic storm, only because 3 different zombie choices were too many. If zombies had been a single category, that would have been my vote. Also, too many people are in it for Cthulhu. Then again, I just bought 2 boxes of the Cthulhu LCG, one for me, one for a friend for X-mas...so maybe I voted for him with my wallet.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

There are distinct variations between the 3 don't you know. I'll change it though just for the sake of making it simple

Since Zombies are now one item, I'd like to change from "mega storm" to Zombies. My twin blades at home are itching to do brain damage to the undead.

Someone accidentally does a clean install of The Matrix instead of performing a repair install.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
