− | Michael first appeared in [[The Elite]] in late 2006 and achieved a number of notable World Records in [[Goldeneye]]. He initially had a habit of taping over many of these WRs/destroying tapes at parties etc, but eventually adopted a much better attitude on proving himself. He was the first to tie both [[Runway]] Agent 0:22 and [[Bunker 1]] 0:17, which were originally set by [[Bryan Bosshardt]] and [[Wouter Jansen]] respectively. Both these World Records had previously been untied for over two years. | + | Michael first appeared in [[The Elite]] in late 2006 and achieved a number of notable World Records in [[Goldeneye]].

− | Mouser also showed similar skill in [[Perfect Dark]], and is currently ranked 17th. In April 2015, he briefly held an untied sweep on [[Mr. Blonde's Revenge]] with 1:10/1:13/1:23.

| In his spare time, Michael enjoys playing baseball, visiting nearby Eliter [[Alex Anderson]], and mysteriously disappearing. Michael was completely absent from the-elite and gaming for six years (2008-2014) until he made an ''extremely'' surprising comeback where he also finally captured and uploaded the missing PR videos by [[Brandon Sanford]]. | | In his spare time, Michael enjoys playing baseball, visiting nearby Eliter [[Alex Anderson]], and mysteriously disappearing.

| + | |
| + | Reasons why Mouser is the most inconsistent eliter of all time: |
| + | |
| + | * You never know if or when he is playing or what he is playing. |
| + | * Captured [[Brandon Sanford]]'s missing PR videos (8 years after he received them) but never captured the tapes [[David Clemens]] sent to him at the same time. |
| + | * Just before he made what is probably the most surprising apperance/comeback in Elite history in 2014, Michael joined The Elite Rankings under the name "Jack Krone". Shortly after, Mouser confessed Jack Krone was him and he came up with that name just to "test stuff" or something. Jack Krone was, of course, removed from the rankings while many players greeted the long-absent Michael. |
| + | * Frequently hoards and releases PRs in random order. |
| + | * Has never had a consistent timespage and will never have one. |
| + | * For reasons unknown, Michael decided to go for the untied WR on [[Defection]] DLTK. He completed a run in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9U4dm-AdhA 1:29] thus beating the previous WR which was 1:38. 1:29 beats Michael's [[Perfect Agent]] PR of 1:38 although his PD file says the best time is 1:34 and his best time on the [[Special Agent]]-difficulty to be 0:26 (his PR on the rankings is 0:36), but neither of his SA/PA times have videos and are unranked. As expected, Michael never bothered to lower his LTK PR of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_l2GRopD0U 2:07] and most people think he never ever will. |
| + | * Achieved quite a few PAL PRs on [[Perfect Dark]] but never updated them and probably never will. |
| + | * Whenever eliters think of the word "inconsistent", the majority of them immediately associate the word with Mouser. |
| | | |
| Michael is a very skilled player who never should be left out, but also ''extremely'' sketchy. Do '''NOT''' be surprised if he randomly disappears for a few years. | | Michael is a very skilled player who never should be left out, but also ''extremely'' sketchy.
