He immediately gained infamy at the start of his career due to his arrogance and claiming of obviously fake times, such as Caverns Agent 1:02 at age 13. After being banned from [[The Elite]] in mid 2002, Jimbo cleaned up his act, and in July 2003 achieved Bunker 1 00A 1:09 (then tying a [[Bosshardt]]-set untied of 2 seconds), marking the beginning of a marvelous Goldeneye career. In February 2004, he reached the podium of [[GoldenEye 007]] and stayed there for exactly one year. Although Jim has slowed down dramatically from his glory days, Jim still gets a new time occasionally; and his accomplishments include (but are not limited to): | | '''Jim "Jimbo" Barrett''' (born March 17, 1988, in Green Bay, Wisconsin) is one of the most arrogant, cocky gamers around the Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 forums.
