what is leeroy jenkins?

something with a youtube video and WOW and a guy?? but i dont understand WOW so im asking here

Well, this guild was doing a raid, and they were talking about the strategy of the next room (which was filled with bunch of little dragon whelps) and all that shit while Leeroy Jenkins was afk. Suddenly Leeroy gets up yells LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JEEEENKINS and runs into the room and they all die.

what the fuck are you talking about

did u not see that i said i dont know anything about WOW? explain in dumber words please

All right.

So this guild (it's like a clan in WoW) were doing a raid, which is a bigger form of a dungeon (a big place with lots of monsters.) And they were discussing the strategy for the next area of the dungeon. Meanwhile on of theyre members (Leeroy Jenkins) was afk. So they're all there, discussing the fight, etc, when Leeroy Jenkins stops being afk, jumps up, yells LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOY JEEEEEEEEEENKIIIIIINS, runs into the next room, makes all the small dragons in there attack the guild, and everyone dies. The end.

This huge group of WoW players was about to enter a really dangerous area filled with high-level creeps, and they were planning out what each different character would cast such that they would all be able to survive while they killed the creeps. This whole time, one guy in their group is AFK eating Kentucky Fried Chicken or something, so he is missing all of the plans they are making. Suddenly, he comes back to his computer and screams 'LEEEEEEEROY uh-JENKINNNNNNNNNNNNNS!' and rushes into the dangerous area, and starts getting attacked by all the creeps. Everyone else gets attacked by the creeps too, and they all end up dying. Once everyone is dead, they are all super pissed at Leroy for starting the fight before anyone was ready.

It turned out that the whole video was a hoax, but the clan who made it still claim to this day that, while the video was staged, it was a re-enactment of an event that actually happened to them.
