BREAKING: After a massive $372m opening for Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo has greenlit a third film to complete the trilogy based on the iconic Mario x Tropic Thunder mashup.
Ben Affleck said this scene in The Town actually happened.
“I talked to real bank and armored truck robbers. One guy was like ‘we robbed a truck, got the switch car, and drove around the corner. We get out with guns, we look over and it’s just cops doing construction duty.’”
20 years ago, a man screamed his own name into a microphone and ruined everything. It became one of the most famous moments in internet history.
A group of players in an online game called World of Warcraft had spent several minutes planning a complicated raid. Timing, positioning, survival odds. One player calculated their chances of success at 32.33 percent, repeating.
The whole time, one of their teammates wasn’t listening. He’d stepped away from his computer to reheat some chicken.
When he came back, he ignored everything, screamed his character’s name at the top of his lungs, and charged straight into the fight alone. Everyone followed him in. They all died in seconds.
“Leeroy, you are just stupid as hell.”
“At least I have chicken.”
The clip spread across the internet before “going viral” was even a phrase. It was referenced in South Park, How I Met Your Mother, and an article in a military journal. The game’s developer added the character as an official figure inside the game. His name became shorthand for anyone who ruins a plan by doing something reckless.
The whole thing was staged. The group admitted years later it was a scripted re-enactment of something that had actually happened. The cameraman said: “We didn’t think anyone would believe it was real. We thought it was so obviously satire.”
The player behind Leeroy Jenkins is a guy named Ben Schulz. He repairs industrial lighting for a living.

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.
