Jim "Jimbo" Barrett

Jim "Jimbo" Barrett 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:

• 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
• Winning the first ever national Goldeneye multiplayer tournament in Virginia August 2007

Jimbo, now age 20, lives a very independent, quiet life. Jim resides in a Green Bay Wisconsin suburb, works full time at WG&R Furniture as a delivery driver making just over a whopping $10/hr. Jim checks the elite boards every day, visits the elite chat nearly every day, and even visits Ngamer. Last year Jimbo was involved in one of the great pioneering wonders of the elite, the Grand National Championship! Jimbo is now 16th in the game that made him famous (Goldeneye), mostly due to the fact that he now sucks at GE solo and doesn't want to hang on, but also because he is in love with Tom Clancy games on the 360!

Reasons why you should vote Jimbo:

• Since August 2006, Jimbo has lost 60 lbs, mostly due to not drinking soda at the rate he once did.
• Owns his own car, living quarters, TV, laptop, everything.
• Works full time and leads a responsible, clean life.
• Pretty funny guy, good interests, gets along with the elite well.
• One of the best drummers around.

Reasons why you shouldn't vote Jimbo:

• Thinks he's the greatest multiplayer in the world.
• Thinks people care that he lost a ton of weight.
• Bought a 1986 Chevy Celebrity sight-on-seen out of Missouri without ever test driving it.
• Lives within walking distance of a Legend, making his coolness merely a product of a good team.

Weight Loss August 2007 to Present

Something Jim has been anticipating for the last few months or so, but as of 4/20/2008 Jim weighs just a hair under 210, marking a total of 60 lbs lost since July 2006, and it's definitely not over from here. 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...

• High school through August 2006 - 270 lbs
• August 2007 - 260 lbs
• Superbowl Sunday (February 2008) - 248 lbs
• March 24, 2008 - 219.99 lbs
• April 20, 2008 - 210 lbs
• May 26, 2008 - 200 lbs!!!

An overhauled diet, a more active lifestyle, and 0% soda consumption are the main factors in shrinking down, it's all over!
