| − | '''Blake "SpiderWaffle" Piepho''' does not actively compete in [[GoldenEye 007|Goldeneye]] or [[Perfect Dark]], but has contributed strategic ideas to Goldeneye that have saved many seconds on the rankings. He discovered the [[Caverns]] SA mine throw for Objective B, the [[Infiltration]] "super bug toss" and the [[Surface 2]] "shoot through the window get the last camera" strategies amongst others. While some ideas are too unreliable to practically integrate into normal play, many have found their way into tool-assisted runs of the game. He is active on the [[The Elite|Elite]] forums and GE/PD TAS forums contributing help for speedrunners. | + | '''Blake "SpiderWaffle" Piepho''' does not actively compete in [[GoldenEye 007|Goldeneye]] or [[Perfect Dark]], but has contributed strategic ideas to Goldeneye that have saved many seconds on the rankings.
