Warning – this video contains some mild offensive language 

For the gaming crowd, this is simply the mother of all viral videos. 

The game is World of Warcraft, but you don’t have to be familiar with the game to appreciate Leeroy’s unique brand of ineptitude…

<SPOILER ALERT>

The video features a group of players discussing a detailed battle plan for their next encounter while Leeroy is away from his computer, preparing a plate of chicken. 

This plan is intended to help Leeroy obtain a piece of armor from the boss monsters, but is ruined when Leeroy himself returns and, ignorant of the strategy, immediately rushes headlong into battle shouting his own name in a stylized battle cry. 

His companions rush to help, but Leeroy’s actions ruin the detailed plan and all the members of the group are killed.

And yes, we know (now) the video was staged, but that doesn’t diminish our point about the risks of working with virtual volunteer project teams!
