I am excited about the TOTAL COLLAPSE OF THE WORLD ECONOMY.

Now we just have to wait for the water wars to start. And Peak Oil! And a massive MRSA US300 outbreak!
I see the total collapse of human society as a great counter to the popularity of crappy loft condos.
Lately, I can't help but wonder how long it'll take for all those "{#} ways to save money" articles will change the "stop renting" part to "avoid mortgages as if your life depends on it...because it does!"
I am going to grow quinoa and pot in hydroponic gardens inside my goatmoat. I'll let you have some if you sign up your children for my militia.
You played urbandead.com, right? Zombies are a type of apocalypse!
Zombie games are a good way to prepare yourself to slaughter your neighbors en masse, but what I want is the dust bowl, the marauding mutant motorcycle gangs, and the concrete knowledge that I will never again have to worry about a cell phone bill.
@ethan: we still have to find out if 3 is going to be any good or not, so don't hold your breath.
BTW, I am working on the second draft of a sci-fi comedy novel entitled "Tidal Wave of Doom" which features all of the things mentioned above, AND a main character named Derwood.
Son of a bitch. If the tidal wave won't kill the furries, what good is it?
Yeah, I dream of a world somewhere halfway between Mad Max and Burning Man. Dry, empty, glow sticks.
and yet condo prices continue to go up in Toronto
fucking ass backwards city...
And if the sun hasn't burned out by then, I'd better start digging my network of tunnels. Who's with me?
@twigby: in the future, all of those condos will be abandoned to make way for our fortresses of punkitude
@chrome raven: You're right, though it's not exactly a utopia either. I guess I just remember fights in junkyards from the SNES game.
see i didn't read this thread, didn't know we were mad maxing it up
i'd run roadside games of family feud with my biker gang, SHOW ME POTATO SALAD
@FiZ - The Doom is not water soluble. However, all the plastic we've put into the oceans is! Soon, all of our children will have microplastic skeletons!
I think the people who scoff at my beer-making and motorcycle-riding skills as "useless" are going to be singing a different tune in any type of post-apocalyptic scenario you care to name.
Yeah, and all those geeky MIT engineers working on solar powered race cars will be KINGS.
Yeah, this guy seems to nail the TERRIFYING financial articles. Plus, they're all filled will weird little codes!
SWEET JESUS LOOK AT THIS.

Terrifying.
Looks like they haven't been active in a while:

But you're right, Ben. Papyrus is terrifying.
I'm all for creating a standing army of consumators, except that an army of nerds and hipsters...
well, it doesn't scare *me* that much.
So does this mean that zombie hunting will be a sanctioned sport?
"North Shore Acres. A great place for long pig"
"North Shore Acres: We're Cannibal friendly!"
@sinister!
When are you going to Poland!? I leave for Poland on 3/30 for a week, to be followed by a week in Israel. Will I see you there?
@sinister: If you wanna save some money, I've got some sausage for you right *here*.

Oh yes. Because we'll all do so well in the barter system.
