'''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.

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.
