"The Chicken Charge – The viral shout that defined a generation of gamers" investigates the legend of Leeroy Jenkins. In 2005, a video was uploaded showing a World of Warcraft guild meticulously planning a raid strategy. Suddenly, one player, Leeroy, shouted his own name and charged in blindly, wiping out the entire group. His justification? "At least I have chicken."
Gaming historian Marcus Hill explores the cultural impact of this moment. It was one of the first true internet memes, crossing over into mainstream media (Jeopardy, Family Guy). The book also dives into the debate: Was it staged? (Spoiler: Yes, mostly).
"The Chicken Charge" is a look at the golden age of MMOs. It analyzes why this specific clip resonated so deeply—it represented the eternal conflict between careful strategy and reckless, hilarious chaos that makes multiplayer gaming unique.
