So how did HeadBusters Inc come to be?

The core group of eight or so of us had all picked up Lost Planet when it came out, and within a couple of weeks, we’d all meet up in hippie 330’s room to play post grab for hours. And this went on for a week or so like that, when one night all of us were in the room at the same time, and CorpseBOT says, “Looks like we got ourselves a crew of head busters in here.” And we liked the idea of calling ourselves “headbusters”… then the Inc got tossed on, and we became a clan.

Who were the original members of your clan?

The original members (in no particular order) were myself, Bren 42, hippie 330, billthc, PingPlayer, CorpseBOT, HBI Major V, NovemberReign82 and CrashOverideHBI. We added another five or so in the first week we had gotten together, but we hadn’t had any success trying to get on gamebattles.com. Once we finally got on there, we added another few people until we hit 20, I think. The plan was to always have a crew on that could take on a clan match if necessary. (Which hasn’t quite worked out… but that’s partially due to Xbox failures and lack of internet connections, too.)

In your opinion what makes you guys the best clan out there?

The best thing about our clan is that we got together, not to try and make the best team possible, but because we played in the same style—teamwork with tons of communication. It also helped that all of us rather frown on VS spawn killing and the use of the homing laser. Perhaps it’s a bit of honor, and perhaps it’s that we focus on getting the posts first and not killing first.

What tactics do you use to help you win matches and keep your skills up to par?

You’ve played in enough rooms with us to know exactly how we talk in both the lobby and in-game… we’re out to have fun first and foremost—to win is nice, yes, but if it’s not fun why do it? Having fun AND winning is the goal, of course. Most of us get along famously. It usually doesn’t matter which ones of us are on… if we’re in the same room, we stick together. If one of us is hosting, we politely (well… maybe not so politely sometimes) let those who break our unwritten rules about spawn camping know that we don’t play that way.

Is your clan all in the same local area, or are you pretty spread out across the country?

Physically, we’re rather spread out. billthc (Oregon) and Campy 2 (Seattle) are Pacific North westerners, PingPlayer’s in Arizona, Geeves and I are in Missouri, Bren and ToxicMonkey hang their hats in Kentucky, CorpseBOT’s from West Virginia, Major V’s from Virginia, and Megatron’s near DC.

And lastly how can people find out about what games and more about the HeadBusters Inc.?

We’ve got our own website, headbustersinc.com, which Megatron’s gotten us the naming rights and server hosting for (he works for an IT company).

HeadBusters Inc.’s current roster taken for their website:

billthc HBI, bren 42, CAMPY 2 HBI, CardiacOzone, CorpseBOT, ColonInfection, CrashOverideHBI, Distrustful HBI, GEEVES o HBI, Gideonfrostfire, HBI Major V, hippie330, Lifefire10 HBI, Megatron g1 HBI, MissCandeeAndee, NovemberReign82, ooOMEGAPRIMEoo, PINGplayer HBI, T Mahoney HBI, Toxic Monkey, x BAGMAN

You can also find them on a new ladder that was started by another clan that I will be doing a write up on in the near future at sonicarmy.com

Well all that is all I have for this week but I will be back next week for another installment of your clan report. see you all in Lost Planet
