− | '''"Red Bull"''' (also known as "'''Bully'''") has been one of the most skilled [[Perfect Dark]] and [[Goldeneye]] players from the Netherlands throughout the last six years. He is currently ranked as the best Dutch Perfect Dark player and is in the Top 4 worldwide. During his membership of [[The Elite]], Max always kept on improving himself and despite the fact that he took some breaks throughout his speedrunning career, he always managed to come back with even more impressive records. His incredible skills, knowledge and experience with Perfect Dark resulted into his first untied world record in 2008. From that point on, Max has been dominating stages such as Deep Sea, Escape and Skedar Ruins with multiple second unties and has proven himself worthy as a contributor to the Overall Combined time. Max also contributes to The Elite by fulfilling the role of Perfect Dark news reporter, and is always up for some hilarious chatting in either the Elite Chatroom or on the Elite Boards. | + | '''"Red Bull"''' (also known as "'''Bully'''") has been one of the most skilled [[Perfect Dark]] and [[Goldeneye]] players from the Netherlands throughout the last 8 years.

− | Max joined the [[Perfect Dark Elite]] in the year of 2001. Impressed and stunned by the World Record video's of [[Marsh]], the then World champion, he shared his enthusiasm with some of his friends and decided to take his speedruns of Perfect Dark to a higher level. Max made the change to controller style [[1.2]] after it was proven to be faster and immediately improved most his times sufficiently to enter the top 30, peaking at 24th in time. He was nominated once for the "Player of the Month" award in 2001. | + | Max joined the [[Perfect Dark Elite]] in the year of 2001.

| In the year of 2006, Max rejoined the PD ranks, having finally been able to provide [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ1JhTicH6s scrolling proof]. However he had been away from active play for some time and had consequently dropped to a rank somewhere in the 50s. Neverthless after a couple of weeks playing, Max had reached his old peak of 24th again. After a quick session of speedruns Max also managed to get back inside the Goldeneye Top 100. | | In the year of 2006, Max rejoined the PD ranks, having finally been able to provide [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ1JhTicH6s scrolling proof].
