What Were You Doing When The World 'Was Going To End'?

[TheFinalFantasyWolf]

Out with friends, counting the minutes down and discussing how to properly kill eachother if one of us turned into a zombie. Plus things like what we'd use to kill zombies, where we'd hide and what kinda food we should stock up on etc....

 

[Evilsanta]

Playing Falbe 3. And a lot of other things to.

I was talking to the friendliest guy ever on Skype, and we were thinking of which Phoenix Wright songs would suit which person in our immediate vicinity.

Spoiler: This is mine

 

[darkbshadow]

I was hungover, so was just watching TV shows on Netflix.

Btw this wasn't the first time this guy was wrong. He also predicted that the world would end sometime in the mid 90's.

 

[Death God]

I was at my cousin's birthday BBQ relaxing on the couch with some streaks. It was a good way to spend my "Rapture".

 

[IrradiatedFish]

I was at a bonfire with some friends :3!

In other words, completely ignoring the silly idea that the apocalypse was apparently on its way !

I was working stage crew for a ballet recital. I started when my sister danced there, and have been helping out for about 15 years now. Strangely enough that countdown rather accurately predicted the moment when our lighting board would shit the bed. It refused to turn on when we showed up at around 6. We had to have the theater equipment rental guy drive down with a rental board for show. Delayed opening the curtain by about 10 minutes, and the guys running lights had to experiment with a brand new, and half-programmed board during the live show. A little stressful, but I don't think I'd call it the end of the world.

I watched the clock, and at exactly 6:00PM I sent a text to my family and friends that said something along the lines of:

Aaaagh! ZOMBIES! Oh... Wait... Nevermind. There is no apocalypse after all. As you were.


I planned this:

but ended up backing out at the last second.

I was playing portal 2 and la noire on my ps3.

 

[KnightOfHearts]

Well...

Allot of people don't know this but I'm actually war (as in the horsemen).
Before you all start judging me for "punishing the wicked" and what not I'd like to make something perfectly clear.

So I called up death on the morning of the end of the world and he was all like "grumble grumble" (he doesn't talk much)... anyway turns out he had a some kind of terrible disease, boils all over him (he was playing snooker with plague the night before hand).

Long story short we figured because everyone was expecting the world to end we'd wait until everyone has completely forgotten about the whole "rapture" thing and then BAM!

Straight to hell for everyone.

 

[Marzirocks]

Celebrating my 26th birthday. If anyone should have been taken up into heaven, should have been the birthday girl.

Just saying.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I was on the sofa, cleaning my ears and sketching stuff in my notebook while chatting with my friends on the internet.

 

[Canned Spam]

I was listening to the 20 second long roll of thunder, which was quite a coincidence.

 

[SonofaJohannes]

I stood up to my mother and said that I didn't want to go to the BBQ. After a while when I started crying, and then she let me stay home. I could die being proud of myself, knowing that I had control of my own life.

As you Escapists may or may not know, a hubub was made about a nutter from Staten Island with $140,000 USD to spend on advertising on his book that stated the world was going to end on May 21st, 2011 at 6 p.m. EST. Safe to say, that didn't happen and the man was made a laughingstock.

But hey, maybe you did something mildly special in honor of the 'world's end'. Did you spend the time doing some extra sinning, repenting, doing some extra drinking, or were you utterly unaware of the end of the world's approach? I'm curious to know.

I was on Twitter, writing "Where is your god now, Mr. Camping?". And eating pad thaï.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

I'd just bought Okami and I was messing around in it.

 

[Ladette]

Banging prostitutes in Fallout New Vegas, then killing and eating them afterward. So basically what I do every other day, except this time in a video game.

 

[ArtanisCreed]
