James "'''Kingpin'''" Bird plays Guitar Hero.
James "'''Kingpin'''" Bird is a British [[Elite]]r who joined the site back in 2002. He reached as high as 12th in the [[Perfect Dark]] rankings with 8 World Records by the end of 2003 and, rising fast, looked destined to be the next PD Champion.
During this time [[Mallow]] (who was about 20 places back in the rankings) was asked to provide proof of his own times. Unable to capture runs himself and kicking up a fuss in public, he secretly approached his friend Kingpin to fake some proof for him. Not wanting to see a friend with legit times get banned merely because he had no recording equipment, he duly obliged. In the space of a few hours a slow [[Villa]] SA, [[Pelagic]] PA amongst others were recorded, with Kingpin deliberately bumping into corners to slow his speed down to match Mallow's times. [[Duel]] A was also thrown in.
About a week later, however, they fell out on AIM and Mallow promptly gave up Kingpin to [[Zeebo]], who immediately banned the pair. Despite 95% of Eliters voting to reinstate Kinging the ban was upheld. His times have since reappeared on the rankings in the last year.
After his ban, Kingpin moved on to play [[SuperMonkeyBall]] on a siterun by [[Fro]], obtaining 16 World Records. He also played [[Timesplitters 2]] for a short while before getting a job and stopping gaming.
For a while he was a sponsored Skateboarderm, before having to give that up after [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-beJ4eVwn4 breaking his arm] 3 times. Nowadays he plays Guitar Hero 3, reaching a ranking of 70th on the Wii before his console broke.
After losing his virginity in 2003, the news was broadcast to the world on the front page of the-elite.net.
