2)I will invent the first ever MMORPG in Dark Basic Classic!
3)Zedane will make another stupid and idiotic prediction
4)I will be driving (legally! I mean, I will have completed Driver's Ed and be the proper age)
5)I will take over everyone's mind through with my super awesome 1337 MMORPG

1) 1 million people will subscribe to some new MMORPG
2) Some diabolical mind will reprogram all exsiting MMORPG's to brainwash the people who play it.
3) World War 3 starts, and with over 5 billion MMORPG players, we all loose.
4) Some alien race discovers what is left of our civilization, and takes over.
5) We revolt on the alien home land and get over a million years of technolgical advancements. (Amazingly, the aliens never heard of a "gun".)

[edit]
No Fair, I was typing this up, coming up with all this junk, and YOU steal my idea.
(yes, it was worse then this)

2. I'll try and find some form of income that doesn't involve direct contact with the outside world.

3. Will hopefully upgrade my iBook, I got it for Christmas and I'm now a born again Macalite. These things are amazing.

4. Will hopfully upgrade my pc, would like it to be a decent graphics card but I think it'll end up being more RAM.

5. Will find the Paint Shop Pro 9 disc I've lost.

6. Will finish a project and make it open source. Thus fulfilling both my resolutions.

7. Will finish a website I'm working on for a local club.

8. Eternal Destiny probably won't be released. Although I know nothing about what's being done with it, and RPGamer did say they were just waiting for U6, so maybe a demo will appear.

9. I'll realise it makes more sense to start lists with 1. rather than 2.

For all we know those could exist right now, as items of Top Secret military technology.

@Xenocythe: My opinion is that if anything major does happen, how it affects each person depends on that person's alignment.

Quote: "Remember in Back to the Future II, when they went to the year 2015? They could control the weather, they had hover boards, and clothese that dried themselves. Well, its only 9 years away, and things still work the same as they did in 1985: Cars still don't fly, we can't control the weather, and we still use skateboards (as opposed to hoverboards)..."


Cars fly today, and we do have hoverboards already. (They use some sort of magnetic field.)

2012 is exactly the same number of years away from now than when I started DB..... hmmmm.... I'm using a laptop now.... My PDA is pretty powerful.... erm.... erm..... still can't bend a spoon with my mind though.... perhaps my laptop will float by 2012? (although one of those unfoldable printable screens that opens up from my laptop would be cool)

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

From all of them this is the most likely

I thought he already did that?, at least I wouldn`t ask him the time if I was in an hurry , he ALWAYS uses 5 thousand word posts, it`s just occasionaly he edits them down a bit
