== Introduction To The Elite ==

In many years he was quite unactive as for what gaming goes, but it wasn't until the age of 16 Marc discovered The Elite by an accident. He heard about the new SM64 glitch wich allowed you to finnish the game with only 16 stars. Through SM64.com he found Ilari Pekkala and soon discovered his DLTK videos on Youtube. Watching the Facility world record without being impressed at all, he immediately became interested in GE speedrunning. He said to Eddie Lovins wich had the untied world record of 1:47, that he would cake his time. For Eddie this was just another Youtube noob, but Marc told he got 1:58 and Eddie kindly convinced him to join The Elite. Marc shortly thereafter tied Eddie with 1:47 and eventually got 1:44 wich was his first untied in GE and pushed it a down a second more to 1:43. Marc didn't really have any ambitions in the Normal league of GE as he wasn't very confident, but then he started to play Aztec and never stopped playing...

Marc didn't really have any ambitions in the Normal League as he thought he wasn't good enough.

 

 

After a lot of hours invested, Marc tied Eddie Lovins with Facility DLTK 1:47. (He later untied it with 1:44 and pushed it down a second more to 1:43) He tried out Normal mode and to his suprise, quickly achieved decent times such as Dam Agent 0:54, Dam SA 1:19, Facility Agent 0:48, B1 Agent 0:18, Silo Agent 1:09, Depot Agent 0:26 and Aztec Agent 1:34 wich he got first try in a session. However, there was a small debate going on the boards, if Marc was a legit person and doubted his times where actually real as he hasn't provided any proof. Marc had taped almost all his times though, but haven't found a way to get them online. He finally borrowed a good digcam and provided proof for his times 30. July 2009, one day before the Swedish Goldeneye meeting 2009 was going to take place.

 

 

Without almost no practice in multi except playing Bunker 2 a little, Marc Participated in the Swedish meeting wich lasted from 31. July - 2. August where he met Ilari Pekkala, Miika Pekkala, Eise Smit, Trent Hovis, Patrik Nilsson, Axel Zakrisson and Henning Blom. He played against Henning in the first round and lost 10-9 in the 3rd. and final match in Archives and lost to Ilari Pekkala in a 3rd. match aswell 10-6, wich also was in Archives. The 2nd. match between them both was Bunker 2 and Marc won them both. Marc duped Silo Agent 1:09 at the meeting and tried a lot of Aztec Agent aswell. Having problems with the glass door on NTSC and having some deaths, Marc didn't succeed to lower his 1:34.

After many hours of contribution, he achieved Aztec Agent 1:31 as a world record. 5 days later, David Clemens (The current Goldeneye champion) told him about a little new timesaver and the very same day, Marc achieved Aztec Agent 1:30. Clemens tied it the next day. He eventually got SA 1:38 and 00A 1:43 very quickly. He later tied Aztec SA 1:36, wich used to be a 2 seconds untied by Clemens. Today, Marc stands as 2nd. on the Aztec leaderboards and is planning to hit his second untied very soon.

Shortly after the Swedish meeting, Marc finally got Aztec Agent 1:32. Being very unsatisfied with the run, after few hours of contribution, he achieved Aztec Agent 1:31 as a world record. Even though 1:31 took him a short amount of time, going from 1:34 to 1:32 still took over 70 hours. 5 days later, David Clemens (The current Goldeneye champion) told him about a little new timesaver and the very same day, Marc achieved Aztec Agent 1:30 as an untied world record. Clemens tied it the next day. He eventually got SA 1:38 and 00A 1:43 very quickly. He later tied Aztec SA 1:36, wich used to be a 2 seconds untied by Clemens. Today, Marc stands as 2nd. on the Aztec leaderboards and is planning to hit his second untied very soon. (Aztec Secret Agent 1:35)

 

 

Marc Decided to push it to the next level and played for even better times. Still only having access to a PAL system, he achieved times such as Bunker 1 DLTK 2:06, Dam SA 1:18, Silo Agent 1:04, Bunker 2 SA 0:52, Jungle Agent 0:52 and Caverns Agent 1:02 wich was a world record and a PAL untied. Marc ordered a NTSC copy of Goldeneye and immediately achieved Dam 0:53/1:17/1:59 when it arrived. Marc who was whelming with confidence at this moment, pushed his gaming to the next level wich would proof he is among the best GE player in the world.

Some of his times achieved later throughout the months was Dam 0:53/1:17/1:58, Facility Agent 0:45, Silo 1:02/1:11, Bunker 2 0:24/0:47, Jungle 0:51/0:54/0:55, Control Agent 3:59, Caverns Agent 1:02, Bunker 1 DLTK 2:06 and achieved Aztec Secret Agent 1:35 as his second untied 1st.

He achieved such times as Jungle Agent 0:51, Bunker 2 Agent 0:24, Bunker 2 SA 0:47, Silo Agent 1:02, Silo SA 1:11, Control Agent 3:59, Facility Agent 0:45, Dam 00A 1:58 and tied Ilari with Jungle SA 0:54 and Rayan Isran with Jungle 00A 0:55 wich makes Marc a very dangerous player and Marc himself is confident, that he is a threat to Bryan Bosshardt who is currently ranked 3rd. He then Achieved what would be his greatest time so far, Aztec Secret Agent 1:35 as his 2nd. untied world record.

Marc has a very wide music taste. He mainly listens to Deep Purple, Rainbow, GZA The Genius, Rakim and various other Hip Hop artists. He also has a love for Latin Jazz music and old school House. Marc is mainly into the movie genres Martial Arts, Gangster films, Spaghetti Westerns and Animated Disney Movies. He likes Way Of the Dragon, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, Pulp Fiction, but his absolute favorite movies are Scarface and the animated Disney film from 1983, The Fox And The Hound and wishes to get a tatoo from something in the movie. Some would think that this is a very wierd combination of movie taste.

Also an incredible Perfect Dark player.

Ryan white - Although his attitude can be wierd, another pretty awesome Goldeneye Player. Can get pretty much any time he wants if he puts time into it and has a thing going for untied records.
