− | Jimbo, now age 20, lives a very independent, quiet life. Jim resides in a Green Bay Wisconsin suburb, works full time at WG&R Furniture as a delivery driver making just over a whopping $11/hr. Jim checks the elite boards every day, visits the elite chat nearly every day, and even visits [[Ngamer]]. Last year Jimbo was involved in one of the great pioneering wonders of the elite, the Grand National Championship! Jimbo still remains top 20 in the game that made him famous (Goldeneye) and even still gets new times occasionally. Jimbo's most recent Archives times rank him ahead of arch-nemesis Trent Hovis for the first time since 2006. | + | Jimbo, now age 20, lives a very independent, quiet life.

− | Something Jim has been anticipating for the last few months or so, but as of 5/26/2008 Jim weighs 200 lbs, marking a total of 70 lbs lost since July 2006, and it's definitely not over from here. It was in August 2007 that Jim finally decided to go on a real diet. This is huge for Jim because this was Jim's original goal and at first he never thought he'd even make 220, but there was a time just after Superbowl Sunday that things became easier. Here is a rough timeline of time/weight if one is curious as to when the last time Jimbo appeared to you... | + | Something Jim has been anticipating for the last few months or so, but as of 5/26/2008 Jim weighs 200 lbs, marking a total of 70 lbs lost since July 2006.

− | On August 17, 2008, Jimbo had finally achieved the world record of 0:16 on Archives A after many hours of playing in Bumpass VA. Most, if not everyone at the meet had seen Jimbo play and fail a few 0:16s prior to the completed run that night. Jimbo knowingly played without taping, as most were convinced that this world record would not require video proof is a proof moderator was present. When 0:16 occured, many were watching (including Jon Barber) and had verified that the run was legit and met all elite requirements. (no cheating devices, no cheats, etc). Many of the attendees of Jimbo's session were world-known players such as Patrik Nilsson, Eddie Lovins, Jon Barber, Josh Layne, etc. When the news had gotten to the Goldeneye rankings moderators that 0:16 was not captured on tape, a split was created between the moderators (such as Henning Blom, and Wouter Jansen) vs the rest of the elite who believed 0:16 was fine as-is, or were OK with picture proof that was provided by Jimbo. (2 images exist, one of flash ON, and one of flash OFF to show the player surroundings). 0:16 was ultimately accepted, but only for a short period, as Jimbo failed to provide a taped 0:16 within the month it was shown on the rankings; resulting in his Archives A time to be back-rolled to 0:17. | + | On August 17, 2008, Jimbo had finally achieved the world record of 0:16 on Archives A after many hours of playing in Bumpass VA.
