The first big white whale that ThaRixer set out to achieve only after a week of playing the game was Chicago Agent 0:14, which at the time was a 2-way tie between David Clemens and Joris Quevedo. Since ThaRixer had not achieved anything super notable in GoldenEye yet, and had also only been in the community for a few months, many people were sceptical on whether or not he would achieve the time. After a 80-100 hour grind, ThaRixer achieved the time but was kept secret until the reveal of [k4]. This was the time that put ThaRixer on the map as a potential new top star of the game. Only a few days prior he managed to achieve Chicago Special Agent 0:25 and Perfect Agent 0:26 to sweep all three of the records on the stage.

At the start of 2018, ThaRixer, Charlie Yeudall, Jonathan Hauptman and Hayden King began hoarding for [k4], an unhoard of a bunch of top level times that had been kept secret for almost a year. Joris Quevedo and Daniel Coelho got added to the roster and the hoard was released October 19th 2019. At the time of the hoard ThaRixer had 1 world record to his name, Air Force One Agent 0:52, but in reality he had a bunch of records hoarded. ThaRixer was already seen as a decent player, capable of getting good times, but with the unhoard, his place at the the top was cemented and unhoarded his Chicago WR sweep, Crash Site Agent 1:14, Extraction 0:48, Deep Sea Agent 2:27 Facility Agent 0:44 and more.

= Above The Rest =
The closing run of [k4] would include ThaRixer's first untied world record of Maian SOS Special Agent 1:50, a time set on August 22nd 2019. Getting an untied for [k4] was a personal goal for ThaRixer as it felt like the movie was closed proper. It remains his only ever untied world record and it is still untied to this day.
= Top 10 and Beyond =
ThaRixer broke into the Top 10 at the start of 2020 on January 4th and peaked at 7th place on the rankings.
After [k4] ThaRixer got a bit burnt out but was still playing and pushing for one final milestone. On January 4th, 2020 ThaRixer entered the top 10 in Perfect Dark for the first time, and would climb later in the year to 7th place, which remains his peak placement. His climb to 7th place would show some of his best times yet, setting records on more complicated stages, these include: Rescue Perfect Agent 2:36, Defection Special Agent 0:17, Infiltration Agent 1:10 and Defense Agent 0:45. The direction of ThaRixer's Perfect Dark career is unclear, since he is known from jumping from game to game, but he was an integral part of the surge of top level competition in 2019 and 2020.
