Earth awaits destiny as the fated day draws near. The end of the 13th Baktun, and the dawn of some grand cosmic incursion, colloquially known as "The Mayan Apocalypse." And not since Y2K has a world ending scenario been taken so seriously. It's really happening this time, they say. There's numbers and shit that point to SOMETHING destined to happen now. What will it be? Demons? Is Jesus coming back? Nephilim? Aliens? Evangelion style aliens? Extradimensional beings? Nibiru? Just a big ol' comet? What did the Mayans see? Maybe it's a black hole? Maybe they predicted that the Large Hadron Collider would eventually destroy us after all? Is the movie "2012" right? Will there be plagues and catastrophes?
Gangnam Style and dubstep rule the replays. Edgy new cartoons that say words like "screw" and "piss" and "balls" but are ostensibly for kids find a devoted audience in adults. Toonami, which also used to be for kids, is now back for adults. Disney and Marvel do the unthinkable and create continuity between multiple films, culminating in "The Avengers," and really kicking off the superhero film era of cinema. The memes du jour are Overly Attached Girlfriend and Rebecca Black. The Wii U brings us tablet gaming and the Miiverse community. Team Fortress 2 is at the height of its popularity. Source Filmmaker was released and the GMod/machinima community is being rocked. But Team Fortress 2 is peaking. The new hotness right now? It's Minecraft.
