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 unmatched for most of the year. Following this success, he went on to tie many of Bryan's personal records over the spring and summer, eventually obtaining several more untied WRs including Surface 2 SA 0:53 and Bunker 1 00 1:04.
After matching still more existing records towards the end of the year, David went on a spree in the winter, lowering times all over the place. He got a pair of Archives 54s on SA/00, 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 on Bosshardts Number 1 ranking.
Goldeneye Champ
The most accepted date on which David passed Bryan for first place is February 9th, 2008, when Boss made a topic about this achievement. It is believed that the record which gave 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 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 has remained the Number 1 ranked Goldeneye player to this day.
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 Bryan Bosshardt several times, one occasion while the pair were the top two ranked Goldeneye players in the world.
