Patrik Nilsson
Patrik "HighScore80" Nilsson is a Swedish Goldeneye player who has been an active member of The Elite since 2001.
Currently Patrik holds a position just outside of GE's Top 30, but has been ranked as high as 28th and has tied 8 World Records in his career. He particularly made a lot of noise when he tied Ryan White's untied world record, Surface 2 Agent 0:51, causing many players to realize that the Record was very weak, and nine different players quickly matched it. What other players most appreciate, though, is that every one of Patrik's PRs in the past several years has been instantly proven.
Outside of Goldeneye Patrik has shown himself to be a well-rounded gamer with succesful results in every Swedish Nintendo Championship between 2001 and 2006, including making the Finals in 03 and '06. In the area of non-Nintendo gaming, Patrik has accomplished some very impressive Dance Dance Revolution/StepMania feats. Some of his faster vibrating stuff can be found on his Youtube channel.
When not gaming some of Patrik's favorite hobbies include competing in (and sometimes winning) Elite No-Sleepathons, meeting up with fellow Eliters like Matthijs ten Ham and Axel Zakrisson (and beating them at multi), game-raging, complaining about being called "hiscore," and listening to idm/electronica/chillout/jazz/prog. rock etc.
Patrik also organized a meeting between the Swedish Eliters during summer 2007. Axel Zakrisson, Henning Blom and Ilari Pekkala came to this meeting. He impressivly won the Free For All matches with big marginal during that meeting and gave Ilari and Henning some real 1on1 challenging experiences.
Patrik is also known to be a calm guy who loves to encourage other players to succeed. Ryan White once wrote how he secretly respected the way Patrik could admire people for their achievements without being jealous and most people that have ever chatted with Patrik know that he's a great guy.
