Today is just a two card fun post. If you are a pretty
regular gamer and have been playing since for over a decade you probably know
the name Leeroy Jenkins.
In 2005 a video came out from a World of Warcraft clan
who was recording game play while they were getting ready to start a quest and
one player was AFK (away from keyboard) and drinking. When Ben Schultz came
back to the computer he decided to rush the dungeon while screaming his
character’s name “Leeeeeroy Jenkinnnnnns!”.
After the video became so popular the reference became
part of pop culture and Blizzard included two Leeroy Jenkins cards in their
World of Warcraft TCG. The cards are essentially the same with the only
difference being the layout design. I did end up buying both versions for some
unknown reason, I never played World of Warcraft or the TCG but I just had to
have them.
So that's what that comes from... I always wondered, but never took a minute to research it. Anyway, I learned something today. Pretty cool to see that Blizzard capitalized on that pop culture exposure.
ReplyDeleteI've never played, either, but that video is hilarious. Love it!

Matthew 16 [1] The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Revelation 15 [1] And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
