Hello everyone.
The year is coming to a close and since GoldenEye is ending on such a strong note and we're better than ever, I wanted to make a recap post. I want everyone to make somewhat of a year-in-remembrance post. A lot of great stuff went on :D

Historical significance: Priceless
Historical Dates of 2013:
January 10 - Alex Anderson streams a 100% run at AGDQ in front of 30,000 viewers. This run would put GoldenEye speedrunning on the map in popular gaming culture to an extent, and bring in a fair amount of new players. AGDQ 2014 will be represented by many Eliters.
January 18 - Ace passes former champion David Clemens in points with Silo SA 1:09, ending a 4 year reign at the top of the ranks.
March 14 - Marc Rutzou, famous for his absolutely asinine persistence with getting unfathomable untied records, gets Bunker 2 Agent 0:23 after Karl discovers a way to use the former "bad cinema" to our advantage. 0:23 remains untied.
July 1 - New champion Ace becomes the first individual player to break the 1:13:00 time barrier, an unfathomable prediction even a few short years ago.
July 5 - Rayan "Ace" I. posts Caverns 00 Agent 1:31, the last untied to be posted on the year. Ace would post a retirement topic shortly after and move on to dominate PD.
July 8 - Henning Blom, a previous 3rd place player and renowned speedrunner in the community is wholly banned from the Goldeneye rankings for splicing and lying about several times. This would be a topic of discussion both good and bad for many months and set the bar for trust, technical proof, and further provide incentive to live-stream times.
November 28 - Luke Szklarz, the comeback player of the year, posts Cradle 00 Agent 0:38 to pass Goose for 5th place on the point rankings. There would be a back and forth battle, with Goose reclaiming 5th spot more than once, but in the end Luke has pulled away by a small margin.
December 24 - Jimbo Barrett, a former 3rd place player for a year back in the BBWJ era, enters the top 10 in points for the first time since April 2007 with Depot 00 Agent 0:49. Jim was as low as 21st place before playing again.
December 25 - Ryan Lockwood, the entertaining "grinder" famous for sinking over 200 hours for Silo Agent 1:01, gets 1:12 Streets Agent after skipping from 1:14. This may very well be the most insane accomplishment in the game's history, but only time will tell.
As you can see by this ranking comparison (with inverted colors to be easier on the eyes), a lot changes in a year. The biggest movers were Luke Szklarz, Jim Barrett and Eise Smit; Ace became champion; Trent Hovis took a fall.

Great summary Jim!
-
Yes, let's just leave out the fact that my stream has single handedly exposed GoldenEye 007 single level speedrunning to thousands of people and gotten more than a few dozen interested enough to start playing themselves and sign up for these very rankings.
-
Damn it Jim, God forbid you don't pay homage to the king of streaming who takes every opportunity he gets to talk shit about the-elite and its admins.
I for one appreciate the fact that you took the time to write this up for us Jim. Great work!
-
Great work, Jim. Who cares about Goose! :)

You mention yourself getting into top 10 but not me passing Clemens for 1st place? Being the first to get sub 1:13 total time is pretty insane too considering it was the last barrier for total time (unless a new strat is found). Only 3 people are capable of that (being brutally honest) and with Clemens' retirement Marc is the only other person who will get it. Although Luke might be able to as well.
Pretty amazed Illu lost around 90 points.. I'm sure he PR'd too (Fac SA 0:54, S2 0:48, although those might have been late last year).
I think mentioning Goose is important though. 99% of his viewers are irrelevant, but at least the Elite has gotten 100x more exposure (he got the most # of users on the boards per day to 154 from 20 or so, got a few into the game, explained a lot of game mechanics to people including Cosmo, etc). A lot of people know me well just because I hang out in his stream. He went from 400 followers to almost 5000 in 10 months and got partnered just a month ago.
I feel like some stuff is missing, but overall it's pretty neat. Will be cool to see the Sylvester Tip from this year. I don't see many untieds happening next year but who knows.
-
Ace I didn't know exactly when you passed Clemens, or when Goose his 4K followers etc - this is why I told everyone else to post and I'll edit later! I apologize :kappa:
-
I passed him on 18th January with Silo 1:09. Also broke 1:13:00 with Caverns 1:32, which I think I got on July 1. Although that's with not counting Frig 1:01.
I don't know when Goose did whatever, but you could write a paragraph or two summarizing everything that happened this year anyway.
-
I remained a TRUE TOP 10 player the entire year! :-*
*unless Gui passes me in the next couple of days... :-\
Good start to a nice topic, Jim. 8)
-
Illu: S2 Agent 0:49
0:48*
Nice topic.
-
This thread needs a lot more Silo DLTK
-
I agree, but perhaps Jim created this thread for "normal mode" only. If so, I have no problems with Silo DLTK not being included in his initial post.

Whats the karl ban cinema find about?

Whats the karl ban cinema find about?
The new tweak is to wait out entire first cinema, and about half a sec of the 2nd cinema. The guard will warp most times which is good. You have to learn how to kill him when he warps. you have to leave cell with super tight angle (almost paralell with cell bars) and use full look down. It should make a straight line with the double doors exiting the cell area. Pressing b to open nat door will happen .3-.5 after slapping guard.
