[[File:Moarfaggotry.JPG|thumb|Battim, aka [[GDOD]].]]
'''Battim''' (aka Tim xxxx), is a [[old|40-something]] [[YouTube|YouTuber]] known mostly for an [[cosplay|unusual]] [[13 year old boy|obsession]] with [[Batman]], an advanced case of [[Self-pwn|foot in mouth]] disease, and an extreme case of [[USI]]. Tim began his vlogging days by making his [[fail|best attempt]] at [[O RLY|playing Batman]] as a YouTube "comedian". He soon lost interest in producing vacuous and asinine character videos and unwittingly strayed into [[vlog|vlogdom]] shortly thereafter. He has enjoyed venting his [[Angst|frustrations]] via [[YouTube|les tubes]] for about 2 years now and since people [[Short man syndrome|don't tend to listen to him IRL]], he tends to cope with this [[Nerd rage|dissatisfaction]] by pumping out [[SFB|heavy handed]], [[tl;dw]] diatribes (usually [[politics|politically]] oriented), seeking to inflate his own [[e-peen]] - at least as much as cadence will allow. He enjoys inventing new ways to whore for [[honorz|subscriptions]], scouring websites for his next [[Azn|mail order bride]], and gleaning all his knowledge from [[wikipedia]]. Battim would also like you to know that you are wrong...about everything.

==History==
[[File:Battim cosplay.jpg|thumb|Tim enjoys teh [[cosplay]].]]
Tim's transition into vlogdom has been a [[drama|turbulent]] one. He has essentially all but abandoned his [[SNCA|original gimmick]] for mostly political commentary these days. Although Tim has never really made [[Pwnage|ownage]] vids as such, he was at one time at odds with fellow egomaniac [[Blunty3000]] and had played a part in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbovYxcd-EU pwning Blunty] by coercing a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQFTdvqmq8E humble apology] video from him. He also effectively called out [[Mr. Safety]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MigplbSCGEc for supporting Renettos' bullshit] as well. Unfortunately those days are long gone as Tim has made it more and more obvious that he has spiraled into [[delusional|megalomania]] believing, without reservation, that he is privy to a great [[truth]] that only he can wholly grasp...similar to Blunty himself. 

Tim displays the same overbearing [[ego|hauteur]] and presumption that characterize other YT [[notable|notables]] such as [[Sxephil]] or [[Renetto]] on the [[honorz|top subscribed list]], and if you are to view any of his overly didactic, [[tl;dw]] vlogs you will become aware of this rather quickly. Another example of this would be the existence of Tim's other [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=batphilo batphilo] channel, which he has described himself as a channel to "[[elitist|inform the misinformed]]". Tim is a [[Katiesopinion]] [[fanboi]], devotee of [[Lemonparty|Zipster08]], and close friend servile lackey of [[pigslop]]. But like many people who have [[republican|right-wing political leanings]], Tim also [[Trying too hard|attempts]] to make himself seem counter-culture by claiming to be a [[libertarian]]. It is important to note, as Battim states on his [[YouTube]] channel, his "<s>[[Unwarranted Self-Importance|website]]</s> channel is in NO way affiliated with DC Comics or its affiliates"...as if there could be any doubt about this fact. He is living proof that anyone (besides [[UpDownMostly]]) can become a "YouTube Partner". For [[crap|some reason]] he has not been given a job as a radio talk show host as of yet. 

[[File:Battim tats.jpg|thumb|Oh hey guise, [[Cool dude|did you see mah tats]]?]]
Tim often practices [[E-psychiatry]] with many other YouTubers and will readily set [[you]] straight reminding anyone that they're [[Intellectual checkmate|most likely wrong if they question him]]. Tim tends to choose [[random|sporadic]] e-battles to fight with arguments that sometimes seem to lack any real [[strawman|logic or consistancy]]. A typical approach to any topic is [[typical|typified]] by a [[facepalm|head shake]] followed by a statement of something to the effect of "You guys just don't understand, look at the big picture, man". This is generally the thrust of every point he's ever made to anyone. Tim also fancies himself a [[Google]] [[philosopher]] and enjoys spending most of his time on the computer away from his son as a result of it.

[[File:Battim.jpg|thumb|[[Y SO SRS?]]]]
Tim is also, apparently, eagerly awaiting the day [[pigslop]] (aka Mr. Ketamine) returns to YouTube to "[[Unrealistic expectations|retake]]" the '''YouTube Underground'''. His well-[[SSP|publicized]] allegiance to disgraced "[[LOLWUT|method actor]]" [[pigslop]] has tended to have an effect on his credibility ever since. At the time of [[pigslop|Pigslop's]] fall from grace during the [[warisart|WarisArt]] fiasco in May of 2007, when virtually everyone in the YTU (and [[WIA]]) had dropped their support for pigslop, Tim was (in a lulzy fashion) made a member of the haughty [[Circle jerk|boy's club]] after everyone had already abandoned it and only days before Pigslop left YT for good. Tim has remained somewhat [[butthurt|disgruntled]] ever since this day and at anyone who he feels may have disrespected Katie - Tim has always [[White knighting|had a thing]] for [[Katiesopinion]] (he's known to seek [[Cyber|extramarital affairs]] online and [[IRL]], ie. 7-7-7 Gathering). Incidentally '''WIA''' group on YouTube was [[H4x|subsequently]] liberated by [[EDiots|certain parties]] shortly thereafter and the group was declared [[ruin|officially dead]]. Tim currently restricts his "vlogs" to mostly [[tl;dw]] political tripe and has given up on his original [[gimmick|schtick]].

===Fun Facts===
*[[Some argue|Apparently]] Tim, a married man, had an affair with '''[http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=AshBradford Ashbradford]''' and '''[http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=littlepandaexpress littlepandaexpress]''' at the 7-7-7 NYC "As One" YouTube Gathering. Tim still, to this day, tells the women he meets online that he is single and only married to give his wife an American citizenship. 
*Tim once left [[YouTube]] for two weeks after [[Nalts]] & [http://www.youtube.com/pipistrello Pipistrello] paid him a surprise visit in the restaurant he supposedly owns (but, in truth, waits tables in). Apparently Tim found it humiliating to serve fellow [[YouTube|YouTubers]] rather than preach to them endlessly through the [[THE POWER OF ONLINE VIDEO COMMUNICATION|power of online video communication]]. Like all [[Attention Whore|attention whores]], Tim returned once [[Nalts]] made a video apologizing and stating: 
	  
{{quote|Tim you are right, and I am wrong...very, very wrong|[[Nalts]]}}

This event alone was essentially a microcosm of Tim's own personal frustrations about his IRL situation as, when he was confronted, he was unable to handle the reality of his circumstance. [[Issues]] anyone? 
*Tim has been known to tell others that he was an officer in the military (in an effort to try and convince others that he knows what he is talking about on a political platform), not realizing officer tours are a lot different than enlisted tours and that just by his manic behavior and mannerisms it's not rocket science to see that Tim never fit that bill. Passin' basic dun mean you're an expert, Timmy. 
*Believes that the U.S. Government is about to spend trillions of dollars in an effort to make YouTube [[hugbox|a safer place without trolls]]. 
*Suffers from [[short man syndrome]] - is like 5' 5" tall [[IRL]] (no srsly). 
*Tends to [[White knighting|white knight]] on the tubes. 
*Truly believes he is a species of online-[[Jesus|savior]] when it comes to [[political]] vlogging. 
*[[Internet humanitarianism|Internet humanitarian]]. 
*[[I Don't Watch TV|Doesn't watch TV]]. 
*Obsessed with [[honorz]] (see the sidebar of his videos). 
*Married to an [[Prostitute|Indonesian National]]. 
*Tends to constantly adjust his hat, accidentally getting [[Attention whore|his "tats" in the shot]]. 
*Prefers ass-kissers on his channel. 
*Feels strongly that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS-1wiwxJxE people shouldn't waste their time] supporting the <s>[[Jew|Jews]]</s> Tibetans against <s>[[Hitler]]</s> [[China]] because "they are too big an opponent - so what is the point?"

==Roger & Me==
[[File:TBD Roger.JPG|thumb|Roger speaks from the grave: "Tim....you're a douchebag."]]
Despite his best efforts to either counter or outright ignore the charges from others that his [[E-fame|motivations]] were anything but altruistic, Tim enjoyed milking the tragic death of '''Theboringdispatcher''' in a series of videos he "dedicated" to Roger following his passing in February of [[2008]]. Roger was a regular in [[Mike Skehan]]'s [[Stickam]] room, and it was well known that Roger loved teh [[hate]], and loved teh [[lulz]], and was one of the tubes more entrenched and respected [[haters]]. Battim took it upon himself to break the news to the community with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MILN4OcxwE this video]. While much of the [[troll]] community approved of this video eulogy, [[noone]] foresaw the faggotry that would ensue at TBD's expense. When Battim noticed that his TBD video got a whopping [[Zomg|200K+ views]], he realized that he could get even [[moar]] attention if he just kept making videos on the subject - 3 TBD videos later, he decided it might be in poor taste to keep milking a dead man for views, and decided to move on. The exploitation of this tragedy was probably his most [[Shameless self promotion|shameless]] to date, one he attempts to brush off with indignant claims that his intentions were pure and that he additionally has [[no|more of a right to speak about the subject than anyone else]]. 

Tim has also made claims that the family of Roger, "his best friend," gave him Roger's personal belongings, including a supposed "diary" that has all "[[dox|information]]" against ED members and users on YouTube. Tim has been known to brag behind the scenes in [[Email|emails]] and phone calls to users that he has people on a leash because they know he has the "goods" on them. The [[truth]] is Tim is known to lie, something he has been know to do with several women he has tried to hook up with online. Tim was never as close to Roger as he claims in the first place, this was more projection than reality.

{{quote|Frank..i think Roger is channeling me this week.but two years of these guys shit is enough.|Tim takes it one step too far, whilst still remembering to justify why he is doing this}}

==The [[Footbullet]]==

[[File:Pigslop May08.jpg|thumb|[[Pigslop]]: Tim's new [[bff]] (avec mandatory [[Sepia|sepia tone]])]]
At the end of April 08 Battim made a thinly veiled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlChNFygInI attack video] directed at a '''YouTube Underground''' member. Many-a-tuber were [[Shocked and appalled|thrown back]] by Tim's seemingly unprovoked rant and the [[drama]] that later ensued. The video, though, was later revealed merely the result of surreptitious machinations of famous YouTube [[Self-pwn|self-pwner]] [[Pigslop]] and his behind-the-scenes campaign to get back at the YouTube Underground - the collective and community he was whom he was wholly shunned by in 2007 during the [[WIA]] debacle. Along with Pigslop's consumption of many narcotics within the year, it marked the beginning of Battim's ineffectual and unsuccessful [[pwn|championing]] of the "return of Pigslop", all nearly a year after Pigslop had originally been "[[clown|clowned]]" off the tubes, leaving in shame as a result of costly e-blunders before he [[DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING|closed up shop]]. 

The video itself equates to one of the more overt examples of Tim's inclination towards pseudo psych bawwwwfests resulting from passive-aggressive manifestations of his pent-up irl [[rage]], many which ironically smack of the same overbearing didactics characteristic of other YouTube egomaniacs such as [[Blunty3000]] (incidentally revealed as a matter-of-fact wife-beater and adulterer). But tru[[lulz]] were had as, in the video, Tim openly states [[irony|he dislikes 30 year old "wiggers" who flaunt weed... Yet he has currently become best friends with a 40 YEAR OLD wannabe dj and chronic drug user...]]

{{quote|ketamine was my [[Drama bomb|atomic bomb]]|Tim on the unveiling of his [[fail|secret weapon]]}}

It is important to note that Pigslop retained an entire year of [[NORP|pent up rage]] from the public embarrassment he suffered back in May of 07 and restricted this entirely to [[sockpuppet|sockpuppetry]] on YouTube, and writing whiny, [[dyslexic]] and [[ALL CAPS|poorly written]] blogs on his [[MySpace]] (he has removed many out of embarrassment in the past). With few [[pot|outlets]] to vent his anger, he had little chance to express his [[BAWWWW|grief]] up until then. Tim also, in a fit of [[aspie]] rage, apparently [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT2CgdM9uVk made physical threats] and [tube.com/watch?v=yFUYq18bJ0c received many responses] from other Underground members calling him out on his [[batshit|unusual]] [[faggotry|behaviour]]. But despite Tim's ever-present certitude that he maintains the [[Moralfag|moral]] high ground on any given issue, he [[Self pwn|blocked most of those he disagrees with, removed comments, and disabled comments on his channel(s)]] immediately - something he now does to this day. A video summing up the event... 

The supposed campaign for pigslop to [[Unrealistic expectations|return]] fizzled out in a matter of a few weeks as he became even more [[YHBT|fed up]] with the [[GTFO|reaction]] he received from the YouTube community whenever he rears his ugly head. Unsurprisingly, Pigslop [[flounce|flounced]] (yet again) and stated he wanted [[It was a social experiment|nothing to do with YouTube]]... Yet claimed he would [[Questionable logic|return in the fall of 08]] (which never happened). Tim made a lulzy [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y0icDH-GSs follow up] as well, summated as a lengthy [[sob story]] by Pigslop himself wherein he [[Victim complex|plays the victim]] again clinging to some claim of "ownership" of a group he apparently did not start (something he is still doing to this day). The irony of this is that no one cares about the "origins" of the group in the first place. Much to Tim and Pigslop's chagrin, the entire ordeal ended up being [[SNCA|anticlimactic]] and one of the more forgettable blips on the YouTube radar in 2008.

==Current==
Tim manages to stay moderately active these days, although he seems to prefer the [[hugbox|solace]] [[Vloggerheads]] provides for the [[crybaby|sensitive]]/[[pussy|fragile]] "vlogger" instead. He isn't producing as many YT videos as he once did and has essentially isolated his channel to [[spamming|pumping]] out mostly political "vlogs" ("[[USI|informing the misinformed]]" as always). The glorious online haven he sought in [[renetto]]'s Vloggerhood seems to have fallen short of his expectations in his desperate search for the idyllic vlogging Shangri-La, but he continues to make the most [[Trying too hard|hearty]] of efforts to [[preacher|proselytize]] those he feels need a little educatin'.
