| '''Jim "Jimbo" Barrett''' (born March 17, 1988, in Green Bay, Wisconsin) is historically one of the most obnoxious, cocky gamers around the Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 forums. 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]] rankings 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, he is still currently PRing (as of June 1, 2010) and is currently ranked in the top 15.
