You have to say "Everyone's out for themselves" after his sister quest ends. Which is particularly logical since you yourself are running around risking you own life trying to save everyone's ass.

First review out for Metro 2033: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/artic...CVG-General-RSS Sounds good if true.

I brought up the dictionary definition because you seemed to be assuming the word nihilism can only apply to the philosophy, so I demonstrated it has other meanings. Good thing I didn't say 'utilitarian'.

Just add "characterized by". So someone who's nihilistic would have destructive tendencies to himself and others, or in the case of my post, would have the view of the human life and morals as being worthy of destruction. Notice also I didn't use the exact dictionary definition, but a general sense of what the word means in normal usage. The point being I was not referring to the name of the philosophy, the tenets of which I'm not particularly familiar with.

He is, indeed, the only man left in Europe. Yeah, did you check out his gallery of women in that article?

what you said was: "Usually I consider something dark if it has a cynical or nihilistic view of the human condition." definition 3 actually works less in such a case. you bring up definition of nihilism (n.). now make into and adjective modifying "view"... more specific, "view of the human condition." a noun describing a destructive impulse not work so well as an adjective modifying a view of human the human condition. well, no biggie. your mistake results in a little enlightenment for you and others. Nietzsche would be pleased. HA! Good Fun! So you're complaining I gave the definition for a noun when I originally used an adjective? ****ing lawyers.

I mostly meant definition 3, since I also said cynical. Don't care much for philosophy anyway.

Usually I consider something dark if it has a cynical or nihilistic view of the human condition. By that criterion DAO doesn't qualify.

Amazingly enough, there were competing movements at the time.

I don't understand that logic. Weimar Republic collapse led to hitler, hitler inevitably leads to WW2.

I'm going to wait and see if Metro 2033 is any good, if not I'll get 360 Risen.

Possibly a dumb question
Last time the global economy collapsed it led to WW2.
-
Possibly a dumb question
But would it? Would it really? Or to look at it slightly differently would it collapse worse than what is going on now in slow motion? Yes it would. And yes, it'll collapse anyway unless everyone stops acting like total jackasses. What's it going to take? Another 40 million dead? Of course now it would be 10 times that.

Possibly a dumb question
If you can default and quit borrowing, why not just quit borrowing right now? Besides, if everyone (or even one large country) defaulted, the world economy would collapse.

Ahmadinejad's stance on 9/11
Ahmadinejnut did not win in a free vote, that vote was as free as the Soviet ones used to be. And he can't wait to get his hands on a nuke, so he can cause an apocalypse and bring back the 12th Imam.

You're right, Democrats used to be "tax and spend" and Republicans "borrow and spend". Now it's "tax and borrow and spend even more".
