Line 1: − + − + − Cowen '''"DarkLight93"''' Hames '''is a multi-generation professional gamer who has been actively gaming since August 1997, and peformed Professional Speed Running from August 1997 to August 2012.''' Throughout his career, he has completed 20 projects, obtained '''50''' video game speed-running championships, 13 Global, 1 Continental, 8 Regionals, 3 Nationals, 17 State, and 8 Divisionals. '''He has also obtained over 7,000 World Records for various games.''' He has played '''300''' video games. He is currently recognized as one of the ''greatest'' speed runners of all time, for his absolute 100% devotion to pro-gaming, along with his insane ability to completely control the scoreboards of almost any First Person Shooter. He has been famous in the gaming community for having a unique "gothic/evil" style, instead of the "standard behavior" of a Pro-Gamer, in addition to '''being respectful towards every single gamer regardless of their playing skill'''. Another thing that DarkLight93 has been well-known for is for being a "Crossroad Platformer", which means he has played on all 3 main Video Game Console makers, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo up until 2012, when he retired from Nintendo on January 1, 2012. '''His current Overall Global Rank on Cyberscore is ''#160''/9,567.''' He is most notorious for 007, Halo, GTA, and Fallout series. '''He has been the World Champion of 007 Nightfire for 4 years'''.''' DarkLight93 was one of the few Veteran Speed Runners still active from the Pre-2000 Era, and is believed to be the last one to retire speed running. '''The current DarkLight93 theme song is Dethklok- Crush the Industry. All in all, DarkLight93 is one of the best gamers in history, but also the most controversial one as well. In addition to this, he is also one of the oldest active gamers in the community still playing today, with his total contribution time almost reaching 16 years, '''and his total Championship Reign time coming to a total of 17,470 Days''' as of January 13, 2013.''' + − + + + − On 1/28/13, DL had a very important meeting with other elite members of the WBYD and various gamers throughout the Industry. DL discussed very important matters, such as rumors and speculations that the 8'th Gen PlayStation and Xbox will be centered around Motioned Sensor Gaming, a very high risk factor DL says that will ultimately kill the Industry. Other matters that were discussed was the high end tech that we have seen over the past few years, namely the Smartphone and Tablets. DL discussed that those gaming markets are rumored to be close to overtaking the home consoles, and that a possible outcome will be the Handheld Market dominance, resulting in the ''8'th Generation to be the final home console era forever.''''' − + − This Bio is almost complete after 5 years of work.

Everyone agrees his first domination era was 2008, where he was champion of '''6''' Video Games at the same time'''. In that time, he also ripped apart 007 NightFire, eventually dominating Ben Southward, and forming an Elite Team that went on to completely max out every time in the game by 2011. That is until January 27 2012, when he was champion of 17 games. Since Mid-2008, many have called this the Wave of Darkness, DarkLight93's completely unstoppable First Person Shooter domination era. Around Late 2011/Early 2012 DL started to focus less on Speed Running, and start to convert over to the Competitive Side of gaming, with the goal of sweeping the gaming community under a cloud of Darkness, and to gain numerous championships. In April 2012, DarkLight93 developed a darker and isolated persona than in the past, eventually creating the completely evil clan "WBYD", and attacking major gaming clans, such as KSI, DHG, and even the MLG itself. WBYD backed off of the latter, in Winter '12, and KSI ended their clan war with WBYD around the same time, leaving it at just WBYD against DHG.

In other news, WBYD's main focus has been on Halo 4, as DL ended all projects involving Call of Duty in 2010. The WBYD is currently dominating the Halo 4 community.

Following all of the chaos the past few months, DL was also fired from Cyberscore. Although it doesnt affect his previous 50 championships, it did prevent him from uploading records on the Competitive side.

Eventually, the major clan wars ended between everyone except DHG. DL has gone "into hiding", as he relaxes and sets all of the WBYD's attention towards the quiet MLG.

Halo 4's community involvement with MLG has also declined, as the game is focusing on a more casual audience. The WBYD has returned to Halo 4 as of 1/27/13, mostly due to DL's high concern for the future gaming consoles which may be revealed at E3 2013.

On 1/28/13, DL had a very important meeting with other elite members of the WBYD and various gamers throughout the Industry. DL discussed very important matters, such as rumors and speculations that the 8'th Gen PlayStation and Xbox will be centered around Motioned Sensor Gaming, a very high risk factor DL says that will ultimately kill the Industry. Other matters that were discussed was the high end tech that we have seen over the past few years, namely the Smartphone and Tablets. DL discussed that those gaming markets are rumored to be close to overtaking the home consoles, and that a possible outcome will be the Handheld Market dominance, resulting in the ''8'th Generation to be the final home console era forever.

Blast Corps was the longest active I ever played, it lasted for 12 years. This game is very strange but fun at the same time. While I never made an impact on the Global Championship, I did make a huge impact on the State Championship. My reign lasted '''2,211''' days, from 2003-2009. By far my longest championship reign of all time. The game is very fun, but hard. I would suggest everyone give this game a chance, even though it is 12 years old.

DL was a mainly competitive player from 1999, all the way until late 2009, accomplishing many competitive victories throughout the years. Eventually he joined The Elite in 2007, although never got anywhere with them. By the end of 2009, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark had become almost virtually extinct, and DL left them to gain dust on the shelves.

1999 was a rather good year for DL. Though other games such as Half Life, Metal Gear Solid, and 007 Goldeneye were around, Super Mario 64 received the most attention. From 1999 through 2004, DarkLight93 competed locally for fastest star times, most coins in a level, and Half Game and Full Game Speed Runs. In 2005, he switched to Challenges, such as minimizing how many times the A button was pressed, and least amount to jump. In 2008, production and videos started to cease, and on December 30th, 2008 it was announced that DL would retire from Super Mario 64 in a few months. People got angry over this, saying it should be around longer than 007 Goldeneye. However, on March 4, 2009, both 007 Goldeneye and Super Mario 64 were put on the inactive list, which left several people upset. DL announced on March 5, 2009 that there is still a chance Super Mario Sunshine will come back.

I studied TWINE for 8 years, and during that time I found numerous glitches that could easily help other players and cut down the time on a full length speed run. This game in my opinion is mediocre, it is no where near as good as Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. But this game has given me over 200 hours of play time, and I peformed one of the better speed runs for it. I completed the game on all 3 difficulties on January 6, 2001.

Spiderman 2 really stunned me the first time I threw it in my PS2. The ability to swing around the entire island of Manhattan and on the additional 3 islands is incredible.

Part II was the actual speed run. Half of it was completed in 2006, with the remaining levels still in question. Several of DL's friends talked about it and did not agree on it being possible. The Speed Run would call for over 10 hours of gaming footage, which would be very expensive. And then the issue of dying in the game and mission failures also came into play. The first half of the footage was completely erased, then DL went to work on what would be known as the most difficult speed run DL has ever made.

That's pretty much all there is to Halo 3. But, getting through the levels proves to be a challenge, and Darklight93/mountain of olives have yet to defeat all levels of Halo 3 on Legendary. Join the club - get the game, kill some noobs!!!

When asked about why it was put on the not beaten list, DL did not say why, however he did say it wasnt because of the games high difficulty. (Back in 2003 Blast Corps was put on the list because of difficulty)

HOWEVER (And its moments like this that I love speed running), on June 5, 2012 DL went back and actually completed chapters 5-10, and is currently on Chapter 10 (out of 15). DL said "Screw this, lets go back and kick DS2 in the balls", and that is exactly what he is doing.

On June 21, 2012, DL peformed a '''"No Holds Barred"''' gaming session, which is basically going non-stop full effort in attempt to beat the campaign of a game.
