Monday Links: Bringing in the New Year Edition

It’s New Year’s Eve. Not exactly a whole lot going on in terms of video games, Sega or Sonic the Hedgehog even. But hey, the world hasn’t ended yet! This year certainly has been full of surprises for everyone, including us here at Sonic & Sega Retro. We hope to see you in the new year. In the meantime, there’s still plenty to go around in terms of news and whats happening.

    The Mayans were dead wrong about what? They never said anything about an “end of the world”. The Mayan apocalypse is nothing more than a modern notion conceived by this age’s conspiracy theorists. December 21, 2012 for the Mayans is like our modern calendar equivalent of December 31. We don’t believe the world is gonna end at the December 31st of the year, do we? The Mayans were probably laughing at us, while they celebrated for their own version of New Year’s Eve. ^u^

    Happy belated New Year, everyone.
