IF there were ever a cautionary tale about what happens when you forget to turn off your webcam, this would be it.

A World of Warcraft player known as "murdaralph" - and the entire internet - got a rude shock after he forgot to turn off his webcam, once he was done playing the role-playing game.



Seemingly distracted by his girlfriend, he accidentally left his webcam - which he had been using to chat with other players – switched on and proceeded to engage in some intimate activity with her.



It wasn't until the next day that the gamer realised what had transpired and he only had two things to say.



"Oh no."



You can watch the gamer’s priceless reaction in a safe for work, edited video which “Murdaralph” uploaded to his own YouTube channel.



The identity of the forgetful gamer is yet unknown but given the internet has had a chance to view him from all angles – and I mean ALL angles – no doubt it won’t be long before somebody identifies him.



Let this be a lesson to you all - for the love of all that is holy - shut it down! Turn off your web cam.
