Exciting to see bazooka brains Dean H. jumping into the wild west of HTLM5 gaming. High five!

Being of Mayan heritage, it cracks me up when friends, or the internet citizenry in general, reference 2012 being the end of the world or infer it by dropping ‘quetzalcoatl’ (a word more closely associated with Aztec religion) into their tweets.
