'''Jim "Jimbo" Barrett''' (born March 17, 1988, in Green Bay, Wisconsin) is one of the most arrogant, cocky gamers around. 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:

Jimbo, now age 20, lives a very independent, quiet life. Jim resides in a Green Bay Wisconsin suburb, works full time as a furniture delivery driver. Jim checks the elite boards every day, visits the elite chat nearly every day, and even visits [[Ngamer]]. In December 2006, Jimbo was involved in one of the great pioneering wonders of the elite, the Grand National Championship! Jimbo still remains top 20 in the game that made him famous (Goldeneye) and even still gets new times occasionally. Jimbo's most recent Archives times rank him ahead of arch-nemesis Trent Hovis for the first time since 2006.

Something Jim has been anticipating for the last few months or so, but as of 5/26/2008 Jim weighs 200 lbs, marking a total of 70 lbs lost since July 2006. It was in August 2007 that Jim finally decided to go on a real diet. This is huge for Jim because this was Jim's original goal and at first he never thought he'd even make 220, but there was a time just after Superbowl Sunday that things became easier. Here is a rough timeline of time/weight if one is curious as to when the last time Jimbo appeared to you...

On August 17, 2008, Jimbo had finally achieved the world record of 0:16 on Archives A after many hours of playing in Bumpass VA. Most, if not everyone at the meet had seen Jimbo play and fail a few 0:16s prior to the completed run that night. Jimbo knowingly played without taping, as most were convinced that this world record would not require video proof is a proof moderator was present. When 0:16 occured, many were watching (including Jon Barber) and had verified that the run was legit and met all elite requirements. (no cheating devices, no cheats, etc). Many of the attendees of Jimbo's session were world-known players such as [[Patrik Nilsson]], [[Eddie Lovins]], [[Jon Barber]], Josh Layne, etc. When the news had gotten to the Goldeneye rankings moderators that 0:16 was not captured on tape, a split was created between the moderators (such as [[Henning Blom]], and [[Wouter Jansen]]) vs the rest of the elite who believed 0:16 was fine as-is, or were OK with picture proof that was provided by Jimbo. (2 images exist, one of flash ON, and one of flash OFF to show the player surroundings). 0:16 was ultimately accepted, but only for a short period, as Jimbo failed to provide a taped 0:16 within the month it was shown on the rankings; resulting in his Archives A time to be back-rolled to 0:17.
