Nari was initially a terrible Perfect Dark player. He discovered the site elitebrasil.net in 2002 whilst searching for hints on beating [[Crash Site]] PA. It was here he met Brazilian gaming pioneer Vitor '[[GregK]]', who had a walkthrough posted on the site. Vitor explained to Nari that he sucked because he couldnt finish the game. Thereafter he discovered the [[Elite]] and attended a Brazilian Elite meeting where he lost only to Vitor, who at this point had ability that was a long way ahead of his fellow countrymen.

Nari's final World Record was achieved in the middle of an otherwise gruelling schedule. For two weeks he woke up at 4am to go to the army until 6pm, attending class immediately afterwards until 11pm and then returning home to start playing PD at midnight until 2am. The product of this was [[Investigation]] SA 2:11.

The nick '''Narigutita''' originated from Nari's first highschool year. When he was singing with the Slipknot band his voice got wrecked and he was permanently left with a very gay voice. His friends said it was similar to Manuelita, a cartoon turtle, and mixed it in with his big nose (Nariz in portugese) to create the hybrid nickname Narigutita.

'''Nari tha machine''' came after the army. Pumping himself up with like 9 hard activities a day - gym, college, work, boxing, long runs etc - sleeping 2 hours a day, his cousin started calling him Nari the machine. This evolved slightly when one night watching a boxing match, a guy shouted out (like Rocky V) TOMMY THA MACHIIINE GUN. Everyone started saying tha and hence Nari thaaaaaaaa machiiiine. True story.
