Jim "Jimbo" Barrett is probably the most well respected idiot gamer of all time. He immediately gained infamy at the start of his career (November 2001), 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. In July 2003 he whipped out Bunker 1 00A 1:09 (then tying a Bosshardt-set untied of 2 seconds), marking the beginning of the more mature Jimbo that exists today. In February 2004, he reached the podium of GoldenEye 007 and stayed there for exactly one year. Jimbo is currently retired from Goldeneye but some of his accomplishments include:
- Formerly highest ranked player without using dot (title now held by Goose)
- All personal records proven
- 3 untied world records
- Being a proof moderator
- Holding a podium position for a full calendar year
