Leroy Jenkins...

In Off-topic

What's the deal with this name. I don't get the whole inside joke or what evs. Explain.

Must there be an inside joke?
It's just a usual name, isn't it? So I don't get your question...


Is it that guy you talk about?

its a world of warcraft joke thingy...some guys made a video of one of them acting all stupid and just rushing into a room when they were all getting ready to do their spells or whatever it is they do in that game (ive never played it, i dont like those types of games) but its a funny clip.

A link to such a video would be nice.
And a bit more explanation in the first post.
It won't come to a discussion when nobody knows what to talk about...

I never played World of Warcraft, too.

I just always hear this name floating around and it seems to be some sort of inside joke. It was even mentioned on Jeparody for gods sake.

From the Wikipedia entry for World of Warcraft:

"Another popular phenomenon in the community is a video starring a player named Leeroy Jenkins, intended to provide publicity for Leeroy's guild. Leeroy's popularity is even present in other games, such as Guild Wars, where an NPC named Kilroy Stonekin rushes into battle, disrupting a perfectly good plan, while yelling his name in a direct reference, and in Adventure Quest, where a direct tribute to Leeroy Jenkins is replayed by players in the Vamprook Spyre. In an amazing sign of the prevalence of the Jenkins joke, he was even part of a clue on the November 16th, 2005 episode of the TV game show College Jeopardy 25th Anniversary Edition!."

Hope that clears it up!
