Eddie Lovins

Eddie "Tuxedobond" Lovins is a solid Goldeneye player who originally joined The Elite in the Fall of 2000. He peaked at 11th place in January of 2002 before taking a long break from the game, eventually returning to active competition in February of 2006. Having fallen to 29th place during his time away, Eddie set about the long way back towards the Top 10. On April 24 2008 he surpassed his old rank and rose to 9th place in the rankings, described as "the most epic climb into the top ten ever". He now stands at 8th place. Eddie's only untied World Record during this time was Frigate Agent :25 (set in September of 2001), but he has held as many as 8 Goldeneye WRs at once when he completed a Statue sweep in early 2007. He also excelled in Goldeneye Dark License to Kill in mid-2008, where after trying just three levels (Bunker 1 and Frigate) he broke the WR on Frigate by 6 seconds with a time of 2:09 and the WR on Facility by 4 seconds with a time of 1:47. In late 2009, he returned to DLTK, where he found 2 huge time-saving strats on Bunker 1 and lowered the WR from 3:02 to 2:21. On January 20, 2010, Eddie became the first person to ever complete Cradle DLTK, finishing in a time of 1:47. He has also gained a reputation as one of the top GE multiplayers out there, after winning both the 2010 Florida tournament and the prestigious 2010 Virginia tournament.

Lovins' favorite hobbies outside of gaming are basketball, working out, poker, and being with his girlfriend, who he lives with in their recently-purchased house. Eddie is also good friends with eliters Adam Matis and Greg Woll, hanging out several times per year despite living in different states. He has also met several other eliters at the 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 Virginia meets, the 2009 and 2010 Florida meets, and the 2009 and 2010 Michigan meets. Eddie graduated from Wayne State University in December 2007 with a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics and now works as an Actuary/Plan Administrator. He is also quite talented outside of the GE arena, as proven by his winning Ohio's State Championship for Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros. in the spring of 2007, and taking 2nd place in the Mario Kart 64 tournament at the 2009 Elite Virginia meet and 3rd place at the 2010 meet.
