Brian "Swompz" Dupont (born June, 1987 in Troy, New York) is an Eliter who joined the The Elite's GoldenEye Rankings in June 2013.
Discovering and Joining The Elite
The first half of 2013 witnessed Brian wanting to collect retro video game items, thus leading him to his local flea market where he obtained a Nintendo 64 and GoldenEye. After clearing the game on 00 Agent and transcending the target times (therefore unlocking all of the "acheatments" as he likes to call them) he wanted to continue his GoldenEye experience somehow. Searching the internet brought him to The Elite and he became eager to get involved. The Elite forums led him to the Elite Chatroom (which he can now be found in periodically) where he messaged a random screen name about getting started. That randomly selected person was none other than Jim Barrett.
Brian believed it was for the best to thoroughly explain his gaming credentials in his application to join the The Elite. After being accepted, he put the same explanation in the "About Me" section on his Elite page. Which, perhaps due to it's length and unusual nature, led the popular Twitch streamer and Top 10 ranked GoldenEye Eliter Ryan White to make a video reading it on The Elite's Twitch channel. Brian has since simplified his "About Me" section.
GoldenEye Career (2013)
Brian's first posted time was Runway Agent 0:23, quickly followed by Bunker 1 Agent 0:18, Archives Agent 0:17 and Dam Agent 0:54. This led to a paragraph discussing these feats in an article on The Elite website.
Some of Brian's times included Streets Agent 1:14, Surface 2 Agent 0:52, Depot Agent 0:26 and Runway 00 Agent 0:39. He also ran the table on Statue with strong times, obtaining Agent 2:24, Secret Agent 2:23 and 00 Agent 2:24 respectively.
Brian is a firm believer in video proof and thus only posts times on The Elite accompanied by said videos. He also only posts times that are worth points within The Elite's Ranking system. Brian appreciates the numerous friends he's made within The Elite and, like a lot of them, is a regular streamer on Twitch. After playing for only two months he took a hiatus in August of 2013. He became active again in mid 2014.
Return 2014
Brian has accumulated both new and improved times since returning, advancing to being ranked in the Top 60 of the world.
Personal Life
Brian is married and lives in St. Petersburg, Florida (not Russia as he's always reminded during some of GoldenEye's mid-game cinematics). His wife Erika can be seen in his Depot Agent 0:26 giving him a celebratory hug. The pseudonym Swompz was thought of and originated from his honeymoon where him and his wife camped overnight in a particularly dangerous, swampy environment.
Brian is a Registered Pharmacy Technician (RPhT) in the state of Florida.
