David Clemens
David Clemens is 21 years old and resides in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. He is presently the Goldeneye Champion.
Before The Elite
David first became interested in speedrunning Goldeneye in 2006 after watching many World Record videos at Speed Demos Archive. Later that year he completed Depot Agent 0:26 and subsequently joined The Elite in November.
Early Goldeneye Career
Shortly after becoming a member, David achieved more of the common World Records such as Runway Secret Agent 0:23, Surface 1 A 1:03 and Archives A 0:16. This was quickly followed by a pair of 55s on SA/00 difficulty.
The first sign that he was destined to push beyond the more widely obtained Records was after he completed Bunker 1 00 1:08 in January 2007. Only two other players (Jim Barrett and Ilari Pekkala) had posted this time previously, and only Bryan Bosshardt and Wouter Jansen had better. A month later he had tied Bryan and Wouter with 1:07.
Rapid Improvement
In April of 2007, David achieved his first untied World Record, Surface 2 00 1:28, which remained untied for most of the year.
Following this success, he went on to tie a several of Bryan's personal records over the spring and summer, eventually achieving several more untied World Records including Surface 2 SA 0:53 and Bunker 1 00 1:04, which are still untied.
After matching still more existing WRs towards the end of the year, David went on a spree in the Winter, lowering WRs all over the place. He got a pair of Archives 54s on SA/00, shortly after getting Bunker 2 SA 0:46 (2 second untied at the time), Aztec SA 1:38 (though he eventually got 1:36), Aztec 00 1:43 (no longer a WR or his PR), Control SA 4:10 (now 4:07), Caverns SA 1:20 and 00 1:37, Dam 00 1:57, Surface 2 00 1:26 and Bunker 1 SA 0:21.
By this time he was closing in rapidly on Bosshardts Number 1 ranking.
Goldeneye Champ
The most accepted date on which David passed Bryan for first place is February 9, 2008, when Bryan Bosshardt made a topic about this achievement. It is believe that the record which was completed to give Clemens the upper edge was either Facility 00 Agent 0:54 or Surface 1 Agent 1:02, however since neither player was fully ranked during a large span of time due to their proof issues, it could have been any of Clemens' Personal Records between January 1 and March 1, 2008, which gave him first place.
David continued to rise past Bryan, but so did Rayan Isran. These two are in constant competition, obtaining untied world records frequently, to which the other player will tie the record in a only a few days. Some examples of this phenomenon are Silo Agent 1:02, Control 00 Agent 4:11, Control Secret Agent 4:07 and Surface 1 Agent 1:02.
David remains the Number 1 ranked Goldeneye player.
Outside Gaming
Outside of The Elite, David has a strong interest in meteorology, music, movies and nature. His favorite bands are New Order, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Assemblage 23 and Christian Death. His favorites movie series is Indiana Jones and he also has a small scale interest in archaeology.
David has met fellow eliter Bryan Bosshardt several times, one occasion while the pair were the top two ranked Goldeneye players in the world.
