In brief
NS2 is a YouTube Pooper initially known to others for only having Solid Snake as his avatar, but he is more well-known as a moderator on the YouChewPoop Forum. Poopwise he has become iconic for using Windows Movie Maker, and is credited by some to inspire certain poopers to switch back to the program.
In 2009, he abandoned his flagship account and quietly switched over to a new one, continuing to make YTP sparingly, for the 50 awesome (and possibly growing) subscribers he has.
Gradually losing interest, he abandoned the world of YTP entirely in 2010, aside from the "I Know I Love You Better" videos.
History
NS2 was first aware of YouTube Poop in early October 2007, upon hearing his friends discussing it during school. Becoming curious, he checked it out a week later, by doing a YouTube search for "YouTube Poop". He discovered it, and instantly thought it was the most amazing thing he had ever seen. What he saw was a video by WalrusGuy.
After developing an obsession, NS2 began making these "poops" himself about two weeks later, debuting with a generic CD-i romp. He didn't use CD-i as much in the succeeding poops, which mainly focused on period games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the Ratchet & Clank sequel no one bought because it was on PS3. He stopped using CD-i completely when he joined the YouChewPoop Forums in January 2008, when his focus at the time became mainly video games and occasionally anime, a form of animation he gained an interest in just about a month prior to joining.
He later expanded his sources to live-action material like the 1989 Batman film, and a few political biopics involving former U.S. president Richard Nixon. He continued his quest to poop more classic PlayStation games as well. NS2 became a moderator of the forum in April 2008, and is currently a very active pooper, with over 150 poops created since the first obnoxious CD-i spectacle.
In June 2009, NS2 resigned as moderator (after being inactive for months) and then proceeded to leave YouChew for good. He abandoned his account and moved to GeneratorSN where he continues to make new poops, though much less than he used to (the quiet life is always grand). Few people know about the account and he is questioning himself why he is posting a link to it on this page. NS2 left his account to escape the stress he faced from having so many subscribers (plus he had a life to deal with), but left the account open because poopers on YCP have professed their love of his videos to him constantly.
Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly if you prefer), NS2 returned to YCP as an active user in September 2009, and in October, ended up becoming a global moderator again, and in the process, found that the true meaning of life was inside of Miles Davis all along.
NS2 retired silently in mid-2010 and exiled himself to the bushes of an unknown world, one that is beyond even himself. Those who continue to follow him will discover that his boredom still leads him to create the "I Know I Love You Better" series.
INCREDIBLE LASER SWORD
NS2 was a trusted member of THE INCREDIBLE LASER SWORD team, and he is known to be a skilled assassin, killing without remorse. RabbitSnore has been known to call him "a real bastard" with affection, for his apparent lack of empathy during combat operations. He has served as a spotter for RabbitSnore, as well as a backup intel officer alongside Crash2991.
After the fall of the Hussein regime in Iraq, NS2 was sent on a mission for the ILS, to infiltrate an Iraqi palace and recover three stolen DVDs. During this mission, he encountered clones of Thereisnospork303 and TheHappyFungus. Using eight pounds of C4 explosive and a toothbrush, he managed to defeat the clones, whom he later discovered to be leftovers from a biological super solider experiment.
Returning the three DVDs to Crash2991, NS2 received the title of "Awesome Guy" from the owner of a small ice cream shop in north Iowa. A short-lived peace followed thereafter, during which NS2 practiced his renowned art of killing a man with a toothpick before he can scream. Soon enough however, Nuthead pissed in a stranger's coffee one morning (that is to say, he literally urinated in a man's coffee), and a war had broken out, giving NS2 the opportunity to increase his already impressive kill record.
NS2 is known to be able to eat nails and shit screws half an hour later. That's how badass his digestive tract is.
He was rumored to have lost his right eye to Rakninja in a petty squabble over the last can of Sprite in the ILS base, but this rumor was debunked, since NS2 has two eyes.
I Know I Love You Better Trilogy

One of NS2's late career masterpiece works focused on an image of Shawn Spencer from the TV series "Psych" waving his hands in disco-esque freedom, set to the added blue backdrop. "Ice Cap Shawn" began in modest in 2009, in a series of NS2's avatars and images of Shawn, with an icy blue look.
In January 2010, the idea sparked in NS2 to create “I Know I Love You Better.” The video’s title originated along the lyrics of Steely Dan’s “Peg,” which has the sung line in question, which is looped in the video. By this time, NS2 had left YouChewPoop and the video had a cemented status of “legendary” among those who viewed it. The image of Shawn waving his hands in the air, with a warping 3D ripple effect, became an iconic sensation.
A month later, in February, NS2 developed the sequel, “I Know I Love You Better Part II: Better Than He Loves You,” out of relative boredom (he had never returned to YouChew). The video exhibits one of NS2’s final known uses of video editing, splicing a song and matching it to the bizarre color and visual effects featured onscreen, again being done to the same image of Shawn Spencer, set to samples of the pop song “Heart Station” by Utada Hikaru. The sequel did not become as legendary as the original, but still resonated in a few folks.
On October 2, 2010, NS2 was bored once again and developed “I Know I Love You Better Part III: Revenir au Présent,” months after he officially announced his retirement. The title means “Return to the Present” in French. NS2 decided the legacy of the videos would be best as a trilogy. But he left a thought that questioned and acknowledged the possibility of more videos in the series. The video featured occasional editing and experimentation with transitions set to the soaring soul of “Across 110th Street” by Bobby Womack.
“I Know I Love You Better” also found life as jokes in videos by SkyGuy16 and Chrisgendo. In SkyGuy’s “I Know They’re Gonna Love It,” an image of Arthur waving his hands in a similar fashion to Shawn was blued up, warped and contained a repeating lyric from another part of Steely Dan’s hit “Peg,” and that of course makes the title.
In May 2010, NS2 released an unfinished video from November 2009, “Ice Cap Ballade” (predating the “Love You Better” craze) that featured clips of Shawn and his partner Gus set to the Ice Cap theme from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Unfortunately, the only factor the video lacked was that it was not blue. In October of that year, Chrisgendo blued up and the video and had it sent to NS2 for upload, cementing the legacy of Ice Cap Shawn and the loving of others better.
The “I Know I Love You Better” trilogy was released on Blu-ray (lol) and DVD in November 2010, and the first video is currently building up momentum to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Bonus features on the 5-disc set included the aforementioned videos by SkyGuy16 and Chrisgendo, a digital copy, a 40-minute documentary on the making of the joke, and interviews with key individuals. Also included is a special director’s cut of the original video that is one second shorter. The set has been praised by critics, especially for the HD transfer of the videos.

Style
NS2 professed to using a similar style for most of his videos (since he believes WMM is not the place for intense creativity, but a lot of his biggest fans think otherwise). There are three main styles that are evident throughout his videos. He has his share of fast-paced works ("Sniper Sinks Ocelot's Feelings"), slow tour-like videos inspired by early poopers ("SUBSTANCE"), and videos where he mixes both of the above styles, usually creating a video that manages to maintain balance ("ZACH'S CHEMGASM").
When NS2 moved into the GeneratorSN account, he started experimenting with slightly different techniques with WMM, having not pooped in months.

- MAGIX Music Maker 11 (used for about 5 of his videos)
Dislikes
- People complaining too much about everything.
Reception
- Over 400 subscribers on his old account (including quite a few notable ones), so he must have been doing something right. Or wrong.
- 46 awesome subscribers on his new account because he has told very few people about it and would rather not gain any attention, but some people just have to know he's not dead. So, anyone who cares, feel free to subscribe to his new home! By now he doesn't even care anymore.
- People have called him one of the best WMM poopers, as well as one of the best poopers in general. You decide for yourself.
Criticism
- He does not generally like it when he tosses in a random source for about 2 seconds and then switches to another source.
- "UN CONSPIRACY WAS HER?", a joke video which became of his lowest-rated videos due solely to the fact he used WMM to make it.
- He made up for the above video with "THAT'S BAD, REALLY REALLY BAD!", a classic-style YTPMV with the same source, which after a while got sarcastic comments about how it was actually really really bad.
- Chosen source material sucks and other bizarre arguments about how his videos depict gender prejudice for whatever reason. He does not understand.
- Had a sporadic "leave and come back" thing regarding YouChew during the time he quit, but no one complained about it.

- Turned Robespierre into a forum inside joke.
- Furnessly compared one of his YTPMV's to the works of The Electric Cheese.
- Reached 10,000 posts on the forums on November 6th, 2009.

Trivia
- Favorite film: Back to the Future and favorite video game: Crash Bandicoot 2.
- During the month he joined, he frequently spammed a picture of Maximilien Robespierre, villain of the French Revolution. NS2's posting of it led to it catching on as a fad quietly when people like Kingcornholio used it in his poops. It was even used to represent an article on the news page in January 2008.
- Created SONICNERD23, an infamous series of spam threads on the forum that spawned a legacy, and spiritually lives on even today.
- A member of the INCREDIBLE LASER SWORD group, which he helped to inspire.
- Goes a long way back with now-notable pooper Temeku (MTB710), who today has over 1,000 subscribers. NS2 was his 5th subscriber, and the first to play tennis with him.
- MAZZ0Murder was the first person to subscribe to him, months before both of them had even joined YCP or were aware of each other's existence.
- Was the 5th subscriber of Emperor Ing, 4th subscriber of rakninja, and 3rd subscriber of TheHappyFungus. Excluding Ing, all of them (along with himself) ended up becoming part of the tennis staff, though Ing is universally known as the 12th fuck.
- He is the real Solid Snake.
- A company?
