The Insane Gamers

The Insane Gamers are a group of Internet Gamers who make Let's Plays, Tutorials, Walkthroughs, Achievement Guides, Reviews, Unboxings and More.

Origins
The Insane Gamers started as the Xbox Cool Clan, a Small clan of people on Xbox Live who played Halo 3, Halo: Reach and GTA IV together. (This is where Rob's second gamertag "XCC ChipHazard" comes from). The members of the group included Rob, Chris, Red (Then going by the name Saber) and ExceededJens. The Clan did quite well at Halo, although they never went professional. After a while ExceededJens left the clan and Chris bought a Playstation 3. Rob then realised that "Xbox Cool Clan" was a "shit" name and it wouldn't work on PS3 anyway. Chris decided to change the name of the group. It became "The Insane Gamers Network" or "TIGN" for a while, until IGN sent a cease & desist on using that name. Dropping the Network part of the name, Chris and Rob finally settled on "The Insane Gamers"
