Dark Energy

In physical cosmology, astronomy and celestial mechanics, dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe.

The NAACP defines this as an alternative to Black Power

The search for dark energy drives research in astrophysics.

Darker than Black

A mature yet entertaining (and dark ) anime about people called "Contractors" that have to perform obsessive compulsive "payment" in order to use their super powers. It's set in an alternate universe where there are 2 places called "hells gate" and "heavens gate" which are supposedly the source of where the contractors come from and hold supernatural qualities. "Contractors" are people, hidden from the general public and considered highly dangerous to the government and "not human"(not displaying much human emotion and relying on logical thought) . While a small number of these contractors work for the government, most form underground society's or groups that work (or dispute) against each other. Also working with these contractors are Emotionless locators called "Dolls" that use certain elements as mediums to locate people or contractors.

The main character, Hei, is a contractor known as the Black Reaper. Although meddling in more trouble than most contractors could handle, is considered the most dangerous while only using his contracted powers for self defense and against mobsters and actual criminals. Though we do not know very much about the mysterious Hei, we do know that his sister, Bai, disappeared along with heavens gate several years ago. More episodes to come for this Epic anime...

Person1: What anime should i watch next? i just finished Death Note.
Me: Darker Than Black!! Its really Mysterious and Supernatural like Death Note but has a completely different storyline.

Dark Souls 2

Long story short: Death Simulator 2014.

Dark Souls 2 is the sequel to From Software's 2011 smash hit "Dark Souls." In Dark Souls 2, the player takes the role as an undead who bears the curse of Hollowing each time he or she dies. During the player's endeavours within the open world of Drangelic, the world within the game, he or she will encounter dangerous enemies, traps, and most certainly bosses. These bosses can be simple, or they can be hair-tearing-out rage inducing, much like "Dark Souls."

NOTE: Life may occur in Dark Souls 2. If you stay alive for more than one hour, you may be hacking.

Person 1: I heard you purchased Dark Souls 2. How is it?

Person 2: Who are you? Who am I? Where are we? What is life?

Dark Horse

Humble Winner. Someone who is better poised to win than obvious candidates but no can tell due to their down to earth and nonchalant mannerism. Someone who doesn't like to brag and boast or outshine others, even when superior than others.

He is the dark horse who stays cool and humble. He has quite confidence of the genius who doesn't need to flaunt his effortless brilliance.
