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) "

    I don't care what anyone says. I don't care if other people are sick of it, or don't think it's funny. And I don't care in the least if it's staged (which is likely is). And I know a bunch of ya'll will post about how you think it's not funny, or don't get it, or ocmplain that it's here...

    But every time I watch that video and I get to that defining moment, I am sent into a fit of laughter.

    It's like Bubb Rubb ("It goes... WHOO HOOOOOO!!!"), it never gets old and it confirms the internet's purpose and place in life for me.

    No access for me with Opera either (I get the "sorry IE user" screen). Is the site not just redirecting IE, it's redirecting ALL non-Firefox browsers? Lame.

    ps. Yes I checked my "Identify As" setting first :P
