Patrik "HighScore80" Nilsson

Patrik "HighScore80" Nilsson is a Swedish Eliter who has been an active member of the community since 2001.

Currently Patrik holds a position just outside the top 30 on the Goldeneye World Rankings, but has been ranked as high as 24th and has tied 12 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 successful results in every Swedish Nintendo Championship between 2001 and 2006, including making the Finals in '03 and '06. He's very competitive in one or Rareware's games "Mickey Speedway USA" and currently owns all World Records. He believes some are near maxed. In the area of non-Nintendo gaming, Patrik has accomplished some very impressive Dance Dance Revolution/ITG/StepMania feats. Some of his faster vibrating stuff can be found around youtube.

Patrik also organized a meeting between the Swedish Eliters during summer 2007. Axel Zakrisson, Henning Blom and Ilari Pekkala came to this meeting. He impressively won most, if not all, Free For All matches with big marginal during that meeting and gave Ilari and Henning some real 1on1 challenging experiences. Some of the matches can be found in Patrik's getfile.

In 2008 Patrik met up with Axel Zakrisson, Jim Söderlund, Henning Blom, Axel Andersson and Ilari Pekkala on the second Swedish meeting hosted by Axel Zakrisson. The unofficial Swedish Championship was held there, which Patrik won against Ilari Pekkala in the finals.

Patrik was also one of the three attending players from Europe during the Virginia Meeting 2008. In Virginia he made a name for himself by bonding with alot of eliters, showing off some quality gaming skills and also surprising people by winning the GoldenEye tournament.

Unknown to most people is that Patrik "secretly" met up with a few of his favorite eliters Max Bout and Hugo van der Wolk by traveling to Holland. Unlike every other meeting this one had a very low profile and in the forums there wasn't any topic or noise made before or after the meeting.

Other eliters Patrik have met outside the Swedish meetings and the VA Meeting includes Eise Smit and Matthijs ten Ham.

When not gaming, some of Patrik's favorite hobbies include competing in (and sometimes winning) Elite No-Sleepathons, meeting up with other fellow Eliters (and beating them at multi), game-raging, complaining about being called "hiscore", watching movies, playing drums active in a band and listen alot to different kinds of music.

He is also known to be a calm guy who loves to encourage other players to succeed. Ryan White for instance 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.

Patrik also sent Rayan Isran an NTSC copy of Goldeneye contributing to him getting many WR's, including Streets 00A 1:55, Bunker 2 SA 0:46, Silo 1:02/1:10/1:23 and Control 3:59/4:07/4:11.

Patrik is one of the "founders" of the body armour existing in the Japanese version of GoldenEye on most spots on 00 Agent. Although not very helpful time-wise, a level like Caverns becomes significantly easier to live on SA and especially on 00 Agent. The Japanese version is also the version most top players prefer when speedrunning single-segment runs and is generally considered to be the definitive version at attempting all kind of segmented runs such as 100% runs.
