Adam is currently ranked in the GoldenEye top 30 on the world rankings and has recently moved up to second place in the UK rankings behind [[Luke Pettit]] on points and [[Graham Maddocks]] on time. He still has a few really bad PRs and even some levels that he has never even watched a video of yet so he should be able to improve his ranking in the future.

He started using control style 1.2 in 2011 and bought an NTSC console in March 2012. Since then he has been working on some of the NTSC advantaged levels, especially those with some of the weaker world records and has achieved three tied world records since then to go with the one he already held. His current normal mode world records are Dam AG 0:53, Runway SA 0:23, Streets AG 1:13 and Cradle 00A 0:36 but he will be playing for some more world records such as Streets SA/00A, Statue, Bunker 2 AG and Runway 00A in the near future now that he has an NTSC console.

He is one of the most reliable players for providing proof of his videos and nearly always posts the video together with the time when he gets a new PR. He has proven every PR that he has had since early 2007 and is 59/60 proven on normal mode (all except Silo 00A 2:33), fully proven on both LTK and DLTK and has proven every world record he has had on turbo mode.

Silo DLTK is the once level that nobody has completed so far and very few have even tried or believe is possible because of the 8:30 time limit. [[Henrik Norgren]] started a discussion about possible strats in Summer 2011 and a lot of progress was made and it looked a bit more likely to be completed. Adam made a strat for the first half of the level that he believes is probably about 10-11 minute speed overall. Since posting the video for that, he has found a few strat improvements such as a quicker and safer third fuel room strat and has a better understanding of which guards are more likely to have grenades and how often. Those are useful because they were the main two reasons he stopped playing it in 2011. He thinks that with a few more strat improvements and lots of practise to get up to speed on the second half of the level, then he might not be too far away from the 8:30 time limit.

1. Train DLTK 29:00 - This was a level I thought would never be done. Although it's only a mediocre time because of the cautious strat I used, it's still my best PR because of the difficulty of the level and being the first proven player to complete it makes it more special. It requires so much practise and concentration because one tiny mistake on the whole level and you're almost certainly dead every time. Also the lack of good hiding places, a few places where you have no choice but to take big risks, random guard positions, unpredictable guards, ammo shortage and nerves unlike anything I've experienced on any other level all add to the difficulty. It took me around 80-85 hours to complete. A more aggressive strat could get around 20 minutes but I don't know if I'd ever want to go for lower.

Cradle DLTK 0:55 is probably my best time but it's not one of my favourites because it's a level that is about 98% luck/2% skill and the run was the luckiest I've ever had on any skill level.  

Cradle DLTK 0:55 is probably my best time but it's not one of my favourites because the level is nearly all luck.
