− | '''Cooper Lovera''' is one of the world's top [[mariokart64.com|Karters]]. | + | '''Cooper Lovera''' found the [[Mario Kart]] player's page back in October of 2003, and was really excited to have finally found such a site. He subsequently played off and on with sporadic bursts of activity until July of 2006 when he peaked inside the Top 20 and reached the rank of GOD. After that, Cooper more or less retired, with a few PRs here and there, but nothing serious. Nevertheless he is still an active member on the MK forums, where he is a moderator and one of the board's top posters. He also played [[Mario Kart: Double Dash]], reaching a rank of Expert A. |

− | In his own words:
| + | Besides Kart, Cooper has also played [[Diddy Kong Racing]] competitively. He is the former world champion for DKR, holding ~60/94 possible World Records at his peak (still holds 1 to this day), and is still ranked in the top 3 after a long period of inactivity. He was also a semi-updater for the (now defunct) DKR Player's Page. |

I'm an active member on the MK forums, and I am one of the forum mods for the General board. I've also played Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and I've reached a rank of Expert A on that game's players' page.

− | Besides kart, I've also played Diddy Kong Racing and the Guitar Hero games competitively. I'm the former world champion for Diddy Kong Racing, holding ~60/94 possible WRs at my peak, and I'm still ranked in the top 3 after a long period of inactivity, and I think I still hold 1 WR. For Guitar Hero, I'm active in playing Guitar Hero 3 as of writing this, and am in the top 50 for people who play on the PS2 version of the game. I've also played Guitar Hero 2 and Guitar Hero Rock's the 80's, and gotten into the top 200 for each of those games. I'm also a member of the elite, although I don't quite know how I managed that, as I've never played either GE or PD competitively in my life... I've only joined in on the chats a few times.
| + | Cooper's other video games of choice include anything in the Guitar Hero series. He played these games obsessively for a couple of years, and was one of the top players in the world for Guitar Hero 3 at his peak before he began to lose interest in the competitive scene. Much like kart, he now plays for the enjoyment of the game, and not so much to compete anymore. |

− | Aside from gaming, I'm into swimming, reading, and hanging out with my friends. I work as a lifeguard at my local YMCA, and at an outdoor pool during the summer. I'm always up for people to chat with, so feel free to drop me an IM some time!"
| + | Cooper is unclear as to how he managed to become a member of [[The Elite]] as he's never played either [[Goldeneye]] or [[Perfect Dark]] competitively in his life. Nevertheless his occasional visits to the Elite Chatroom, togther with his overall gaming accomplishments, have made him an honourary member. |

| + | Aside from gaming, Cooper is into swimming, reading, hanging out with friends and macking on girls. It was reported that Cooper has snacked more chicks than any other karter. Because of such discovery it has been proven that kart does in fact equal chicks. Cooper is a legend for both his snacking and his ability to avoid the aids virus. MKDS kiddies look up to him, fellow karters sneer at his sheer sexiness, and are obviously jealous of all the girls he's gotten. |
| | | |
| + | As of the 2012 Karter Contest, Cooper doesn't have a lot of time to play much of anything, much less at a competitive level. Nevertheless, he has made a come back in MK64 at least once a year and still plays other games here and there for fun. He also does more lurking than talking these days in IRC and on the boards, but he is still around and will still talk to anyone who seeks him out... So don't be shy! |
