    This will be a travesty if Leeroy Jenkins isn't included on one of the panels.

      For those who don't know, Leeroy Jenkins refers to this video:

      The video spread like wildfire throughout the WoW community about a month ago, and it's been leaking into online communities everywhere since then. Even if you don't play WoW, the video is worth seeing.
