I'm Leeroy Jenkins

So here's another blog article about World of Warcraft (WoW) because so many of my friends play this video game. Alternatively, this game could be called digital crack because it's so addictive. In either case, here's a funny WoW video and explanation care of my boss' guild webpage. It explains part of the WoW subculture.

Who is Leeroy Jenkins, and why do people yell his name?

One particular guild on another server decided to do a publicity stunt to attract new members. They staged a scene during a high-level raid and recorded a mini-movie. In this video there is a guy named Leeroy who is not paying attention during the strategizing over how to kill the boss. Suddenly he yells, "Let's do this!! Leeerrroooooyyy Jennnkkkinnnns!!!!" and runs into a room filled with little dragons and ends up getting everyone in his group killed. It's quite funny and can be seen here:

Leeroy Jenkins

People tend to yell his name either if there is someone in the group who keeps rushing ahead before any plans can be made, or if you are entering a situation where there is a chance you can pull a million guys to you and wipe the whole group.

Apparently the people that made this video originally used this as a recruiting tool for their guild. Sure enough, it worked... a little too well. Now Leeroy Jenkins has a cult following. Internet fads are kind of wierd and random eh?

The World According To Chan

I owe this article to Pam who sent me this picture. Her e-mail to me was hilarious. It read, "I found this on the net, and it reminded me of you, you'll see why."

Here's the picture that was attached:

I had a good chuckle with this. Then I thought to myself, my goodness, is this the vibe I give off when I talk to people?

Dang commies. Since we're talking about communists, I had a funny blog article entitled "P2P Propaganda" and it relates to commies.
