Interview with Leeeroy Jeeenkins

Posted by Zonk on from the he-needs-the-devout-shoulders dept.

The hero of the hilarious (though likely staged) World of Warcraft short movie, Leroy Jenkins, has been interviewed by the online games mag Played.ToDeath. The interview covers his internet fame and the state of his guild, among other things. From the article: " PLAYED: So we have to know. Is this rushing in something you do often? BEN S: The rushing itself doesn't happen too often. It happens a little more now when we are joking around. My "Leeroy Jenkins" yell happens far more often. I've been yelling that for about four years. (laughs) "

    4) This piece of crap made it to G4 and Slashdot in the same week? Is this because Americans are stupid or has everyone just devolved recently?

    Ugh I know the feeling. The other day my brother turned into some sort of marmot.
