BlackDoomShadow

BlackDoomShadow, who also goes by the shortened nickname BDS, is a regular user on Wii Hardware who created Shooting Down Stereotypes.

Early history
BDS first joined GameFAQs on November 28, 2005, in order to ask a question of the Shadow the Hedgehog board, as he was writing a review for the game-hence, his username draws from the main protagonist (Shadow) and antagonist (Black Doom). However, he personally dislikes this game and does not use this username on any other forum, instead using the name Ultra Hyper Shadow, which he has used for over half a decade.

Pokemon Diamond (May 2007-September 2007)
After registering and asking the question, however, BDS did not return to GameFAQs for several years, before returning in May 2007 to begin trading on the Pokemon Diamond boards. He obtained many rare Pokemon by trading legit Mews he obtained from a Nintendo event and cloned using a glitch in Emerald.

Wii Hardware (September 2007-December 2007)
BDS settled at Wii Hardware in late August 2007. It was in September that he began Shooting Down Stereotypes, a ten-installment series of topics that debunk popular urban legends, myths, and inaccuracies regarding the Wii.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (October 2007-January 2008)
He began posting more on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl board, and by December 2007 had entirely left Wii Hardware for that board. He was a large supporter of Ridley and had been since before the release of Super Smash Bros. Melee and often had debates over Ridley and other characters he supported. Notably, he made a joke topic in November saying that R.O.B. had been confirmed and would be revealed on the official website the next day, R.O.B. ended up actually being in the game as a surprise character. By the time Brawl was released, he had posted there less frequently, and has now stopped posting there altogether.

Wii Hardware (January 2008-present)
He returned to Wii Hardware in January 2008, where he posted a controversial topic called Nintendo's Problem that reached 500 posts. It was also at this time that BDS went to PS3 Hardware and posted a "peace treaty" respectfully asking the forum to stop sending trolls to Wii Hardware; BDS got a one-week suspension for a "board invasion." This was controversial at Message Board Help, where a topic arguing over the suspension nearly reached 200 posts before being locked.

He has since returned to normal posting at the forum before deciding to start this wiki after 47pik jokingly suggested that a WikiQuote section be devoted to troll comments on the forum.

Current Events (February 2008-present)
Current Events is the most infamous social board on GameFAQs, sometimes referred to as "GameFAQs's 4chan" after the site known for disturbing images and lawbreaking posters. He made two 500 topics, one of them a "choose your own adventure" story and the other a religion debate. He also created a number of minor fads, including the "fad of the day," a topic where he said "I just caught my girlfriend kissing my sister!" which spawned dozens of spin-off parodies. He still regularly posts there today, but, like the TV board, he is currently taking a hiatus due to the potential of getting spoiled about the Lost season finale.

Television: Broadcast TV (March 2008-present)
BDS posts semi-regularly on the TV board. He was one of the first people to respond to the now infamous topic by the user Triad_Thunderr, who started a now widespread fad of casually referring to Lost characters of similar ethnicities as the same person. However, he is currently taking a hiatus from the board for fear of being spoiled about the Lost season finale. Kirbyfan, a Wii Hardware troll, attempted to add a summary of the finale to this page, but instead added a summary of an already aired episode.

Other boards
BDS has posted at several other boards on a semi-regular basis during his time on GameFAQs, including the Pokemon Battle Revolution board (June 2007), Metroid Prime 3: Corruption board (August 2007), and Movies: At the Theater (January 2008). He also has a secret board he owns called Shadow Warrior, but it is rarely used. He is also a member of the secret Wii Hardware social board along with Metroidfan19, Megamanxzero15, and Comebackking1.

Trademarks

 * Derailing troll topics and arguments with irrelevant conversations
 * Posting pictures of Lost's smoke monster hitting a wall of text or a man climbing a wall of text when a "wall of text" (large post not broken into paragraphs) is posted
 * Refusing (somewhat controversially) to assist anyone whose question is easily answered by using Google
 * Pretending to be in love with Kirbyfan, a reference to Kirbyfan's actual seeming obsession with BDS and his postings
 * Calling himself the "supreme dictator overlord of Wii Hardware" (a title both overly appreciated by some and contested by others)

YouTube
BDS also makes videos for YouTube under the name UltraHyperShadow. His "Master Chief Sucks at Ordering" series is his ongoing series, started in October 2007, an is currently the second most popular "Master Chief series" on YouTube, after the original series itself. The series concluded its first season in May. "Master Chief sucks" videos are a fad on Youtube in which users pretend to be Master Chief, voiced by the Microsoft Sam voice synthesizer, and give advice or try to play various video games, with disasterous results based on Master Chief's idiocy. BDS's Master Chief videos revolve around a central plot of Master Chief attempting to defeat the evil CATS and his minions, who include Jack Thompson and L. Ron Hubbard. A list of videos in the series is as follows:

In addition, BDS uploaded a few songs from the soundtrack of Super Smash Bros. Brawl under the name UltraBrawl in order to avoid a potential account lock for uploading copyrighted material. He was the first person to upload the "Golden Sun Battle Theme", "His World", and "Legend of Zelda Theme (Orchestrated)" songs to Youtube. He also used this account to upload the much-wanted ending montage music from Lost's 4th season penultimate episode, "There's No Place Like Home, part 1."

T3H Metroid Galaxy
BDS began writing a comic series called T3H Metroid Galaxy on May 16, 2006. The comic has since had 150 issues, a spin-off, and several other specials. It is his largest work to date.

Wikis
BDS runs several wikis on Scratchpad, including a wiki for T3H Metroid Galaxy, a wiki for Lost spoilers, and wikis for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Other activities
BDS is also a knowledgable computer user. He is moderately skilled in HTML. He is also skilled in writing disruptive viruses that range from simple shutdown pranks to dangerous hard drive wipes. His favorite task is remote administration of another computer.
