Monumental Perfect Dark Strat Find, records getting blown away!

Did you catch what happened there? If you don’t have time to watch the video, it is now possible to glitch through the lasers! This video, provided by Dark Otto with a PR 10 seconds off of the world record, shows us what is now possible through the findings of Bryan Bosshardt, Your Eliteness, David Clemens, and Ilari Pekkala.

For more information, visit this topic for a more elaborate explanation. Note: The previous record just a few short days ago was 1:27!

No Excuses Anymore…

With a dearly-devoted wife of nearly 4 years now, and a second baby on the way, Shawn Johnson of the Goldeneye rankings has defied every theory and law of speedrunning. Not only has Shawn blasted his way into the top 10 in points and time, but he’s now moved into a stellar position of 7th place and the 3rd-highest ranking American! The move into 7th puts him atop Goldeneye Multiplayer champion and legendary speedrunner Eddie Lovins!

What’s impressive is that Shawn still has a few garbage times that are “easily improvable” by top 10 standards, and a campaign bid for a top 5 position just might be on his horizon…

Thank you Shawn for your dedication. It’s guys like you who create amazing story lines for us to comment on and share with the rest of the elite. A husband, father of 2, and full time employee is ranked behind only 6 people in the entire world. Think about that.

In other news, Virginia 2012 is approaching at lightning speed and if you need to start discussing travel plans or anything else pertaining to our annual Elite-Kart meet, visit the topic here.

One final note is that The Elite has finally created a page of live streaming, created by David “DKK5” Kovaz, and Hugo “Cara” Van der Wolk! This page allows any speedrunner to play while simultaneously allowing us to watch everything they do… LIVE. It can be any level-specific world record attempt, or a full segment (Agent, Secret/Special, 00A/PA) speedrun. The stream will eventually be embedded permanently into the front page, but for now the link can be found here. Information about the page and how to participate for yourself can be found here.

Live Action GE Video #130

Not the first, but a pretty good one, appearing on Gizmodo among other blogs.

Perfect Dark World Records Page (New!), and 3 second PA untied!

Gentlemen, it’s finally here! One of Goldeneye’s signature pages over the last 10 years has been the World Records Page, updated by various eliters and kept up to date through occasional updates. That page is currently updated by our very own Greg Woll with the utmost integrity and accuracy.

Now, after almost a decade, Perfect Dark has it’s own World Records page! Take some time to check out all of the quick links provided and the history of all of PD’s WRs! (note: Jon Barber at one time had an untied Agent record, take a look!)

Not to be forgotten is Denis Lucid‘s amazing time of Defection PA 1:20! This was a 3 second untied that obliterated the old time which has stood (unofficially, Sucram) since 2001!

Clemens completes his sweep!

David Clemens has been going at Extraction pretty hard for awhile, and he’s managed to complete an untied sweep! There are only three levels currently swept in GE/PD, so fantastic job! You can watch the video here:

David Clemens – Extraction PA 1:31

Cradle Dark LTK: DONE!! 19/20 now!

We’ve been following the great journey about how would it be possible to beat Cradle on the Dark LTK settings, discussing strats, testing new possibilities etc. And like if it was out of nowhere, Eddie Lovins completed the level in 1:47!!! Yeah you’ve read it right. 1:47! Props to Henrik Norgren who also completed the level in 1:45 a little later, without knowing about Eddie’s strat! How amazing is that! We really can’t do anything here but congratulate both players for their accomplishments, and also props to all the DLTK players who contributed to the strat! (read more about it here).

Eddie Lovins – Cradle Dark LTK 1:47
Eddie Lovins – Cradle Dark LTK 1:21 death

Now, leaving all the talk aside, watch these two videos above. One is the 1:47 completion from Eddie, and the other one is a 1:21 death where Trev blew himself up the fastest way possible! Unfortunaly there was a guard on the way SILO DARK LTK, HERE WE GO!

Extraction Special Agent: 1:20 to 1:18

David Clemens lowered Rayan’s untied of 1:20 on Extraction Special Agent to 1:18!! Another amazing WR by Clemens. Watch his great run here:

David Clemens – Extraction SA 1:18

Train Dark LTK 29:00!

Adam Bozon officially beat Train Dark LTK with the time of 29:00. It’s now “official” because Rayan Isran once claimed that he beat Train DLTK a couple of years ago, but he didn’t provide proof for it. So, congrats Bozon! Only two levels to go now (Cradle and Silo)!

You can download the video here: Adam Bozon – Train DLTK 29:00. And if you are curious about what the other DLTK records are, take a look at the updated Dark LTK world rankings!

New Aztec Strat Master?

David Clemens – Aztec Agent 1:26

4 seconds untied, new glass guard strat, etc.

He’s done it on Streets

That’s right guys. Our fellow Silent Foe has beaten STREETS DARK LTK with the time of 8:27. This is considered by many one of the bests achievements ever on the history of the-elite. Check out the AWESOME run on the link below (believe me, you won’t blink watching this):

Silent Foe – Streets Dark LTK 8:27
