Damn, time flies fast.
Alright, edit: nobody chained :(
At least he has chicken
God damn, that video is 10 years old? I remember my early teen self finding it and laughing until he cried, despite the fact he didn't know shit about WoW. Ah, good times.
Must be interesting to tell people, "Yeah, I'm that Leeroy Jenkins guy". I don't know anything about him.
I remember in Vanilla. Such fun times. When people first heard of this, it spread like wild fire, and people started to impersonate it. It was a lot of laughs. Oh man the memories of old WoW. Running around, being unable to afford just a ground mount, begging for gold. Learning strats from people posting them. The so many different builds. The outrageous amount of content that some people haven't even gotten into. The vast world that got a bit tiresome of going through all the time. Running to Tanaris from Thousand Needles... Ah man.

[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;47710621]We now celebrate birthdays of memes?[/QUOTE] for me It's not so much a celebration but more of a 'Remember this thing you saw a lot of when you were 16? well that was 10 years ago, you old fuck'

Remember he's a big part of WoW now. He has his own card, with the voice taunt. [img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/hearthstone.gamepedia.com/thumb/6/6c/Leeroy_Jenkins%28674%29_Gold.png/184px-Leeroy_Jenkins%28674%29_Gold.png?version=a6e15afa3e651ee5f9e38da49324cc84[/img]

[QUOTE=Zovox;47711024]I'd rather celebrate their deathdays...[/QUOTE] Memes spawn but never die and once the time is right they will wander the endless and mysterious world of obscure internet culture and sometimes re-enter our shared consciousness through the voice or chat message of a child who just got old enough to comprehensively use the internet and study the (to them) ancient lore of it. The elder internet wizards sometimes re-awake the old memes that lie dead but dreaming in the slimy edges of our consciousness so that they can wander the jungle of internet fora and chats once again. Ia! Ia! Starwar'skid ftaghn!

I know most of it is simply nostalgia and having to go through all of that would be horrendous right now, but fuck I even miss not having two silvers to rub together and being too fucking poor to buy all the spells.
Funny as hell. Could never get into WoW because of all that sort of set up chat though.
[QUOTE=Ragekipz;47710070]Posting this again [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/2nXPvTX.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] Did he bubble and reckoning bomb you after your combo?
[QUOTE=mayo;47711724][video=youtube;H91rPIq2mN4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H91rPIq2mN4[/video][/QUOTE] Close enough. [video=youtube;L0BF5d3TvWY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0BF5d3TvWY[/video]
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;47711820]Fixed. WoW =/= Hearthstone, you confused the two.[/QUOTE] Er. Hearthstone is mostly WoW themed cards and he's an npc. So...
[QUOTE=Memobot;47711859]Funny as hell. Could never get into WoW because of all that sort of set up chat though.[/QUOTE] Which makes it all the funnier that the chat in this video is completely fake.
