'''''Pure Pwnage''''' (pronounced "pure ownage")<ref name="pwn">The word "pwnage" can be pronounced several different ways. The show's creators pronounce it "ownage". Jeremy justifies this pronunciation with the following statements: "When people say [[Pwn|{{IPA|/ˈpoʊn/|cat=no}}]], they sound like a complete fag, and I'm not cool with being a fag, so I pronounce it {{IPA|/ˈoʊn/}}." {{" '}}Pwn' was originally a typo of 'own', because the 'P' is near the 'O' on the keyboard. The person is still trying to say 'own'." [TeamSpeak chat, December 13, 2005].</ref> is a Canadian [[web series|Internet-distributed]] [[mockumentary]] series from [[Roflmao|ROFLMAO]] Productions. The fictional series purports to chronicle the life and adventures of Jeremy (played by Jarett Cale), a [[Canadians|Canadian]] and self-proclaimed "[[pro gamer]]". In 2010, an adaptation of the [[web series]] began airing on [[Showcase (Canadian TV channel)|Showcase]], a [[Television in Canada|Canadian]] [[cable television]] [[specialty channel|channel]], but the series failed to be picked up for a second season.

== Premise ==
'''''Pure Pwnage''''' (pronounced “Pure Ownage”{{ref|pwn}}) is an Internet [[situation comedy|sitcom]], or “[[webisode]]”, by “ROFLMAO Productions”. The show portrays aspects of “the life of a pro [[gamer]]”, featuring a [[Canada|Canadian]] self-proclaimed pro video game player named Jeremy. Through a combination of interviews and situational conflict resolution, Jeremy reveals what it is like to be a pro gamer. Locations for the show include [[Calgary]], [[Montreal|Montréal]], and mainly [[Toronto]].
''Pure Pwnage'' is a web series that follows the life of Jeremy, a skilled gamer who struggles with social interactions due to his self-centered and lazy nature. The show focuses on Jeremy's interactions within the gaming community and with non-gamers. Jeremy's brother Kyle documents his experiences, creating a documentary-style narrative.


== Cast ==
The show is filmed from the [[perspective (cognitive)|point of view]] of Jeremy’s roommate and brother Kyle. As of late 2005, Kyle is currently attending film school and will soon graduate.
{{main|List of Pure Pwnage characters}}
[http://www.purepwnage.com The ''Pure Pwnage'' website] states that ROFLMAO may go into full-time production after Kyle’s graduation, and, as of January 2006, is negotiating the airing of ''Pure Pwnage'' on [[television]]. A DVD is now scheduled to be released after Episode 12, which is the planned end of the first season.


== Episodes ==
Most of the information about the ''Pure Pwnage'' series comes from a [[TeamSpeak]] chat public [http://chigau.com/ppchat-edited.mp3 interview], the ''Pure Pwnage'' website, the featurettes, and the regular episodes (see [[List of Pure Pwnage episodes]]).
{{main|List of Pure Pwnage episodes}}
There are currently eighteen web episodes available to the public and eight TV episodes.

== History ==
== The world of ''Pure Pwnage'' ==
''Pure Pwnage'' was created by Geoff Lapaire and Jarett Cale who also play the show's main protagonists. Originating in 2004, eighteen Internet-distributed episodes of the series have been released to date. In 2007, the series creators estimated their current viewer base to be over three million.<ref>{{cite web | title = The Infancy of Internet Television | author = Geoff Lapaire | publisher = Pure Pwnage | url = http://www.purepwnage.com/index.php?GUID=19150 | access-date = 2007-11-17 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071215065150/http://www.purepwnage.com/index.php?GUID=19150 | archive-date = 2007-12-15 }}</ref> The series is filmed primarily in [[Toronto]], Ontario, but has also included scenes filmed in [[Calgary]], Alberta; [[Montreal]], Quebec; [[Aurora, Ontario]]; [[Hamilton, Ontario]]; and the [[Netherlands]].
''Pure Pwnage'' takes the audience to a fantastic world where the power and importance of [[Computer and video games|video games]] is revealed to be far greater than the gaming layperson might expect. Kyle appears to film the show in [[gonzo]], and it seems to mix the real world with a fictional one, blurring this with references outside Kyle’s lens at times.


During an interview, director Geoff Lapaire (although as "Kyle"; Lapaire maintained his "Kyle" identity among fans and media) insisted that all of the characters on the show are not acting.<ref name="teamspeak">Starting with Episode 8, the ''Pure Pwnage'' cast and crew hold a public [[TeamSpeak]] interview soon after the release of each episode, revealing many details about the show and the personalities involved in its creation. The recordings of each episode are linked in a [http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=54783 post] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927010003/http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=54783 |date=2007-09-27 }} on the forums.</ref> He suggested that the personalities on ''Pure Pwnage'' display their true-to-life abilities and eccentricities. The characters took great pains to maintain that the ''Pure Pwnage'' world is simply an extension of the real world. Lapaire has finally admitted that they are, in fact, actors. The sixth fanchat with the crew was out-of-character, where the fact that the characters within ''Pure Pwnage'' are exaggerated versions of the actors was confirmed.
=== Pro gamers vs. noobs ===
In the world of ''Pure Pwnage'', certain elite video game players are quick to judge others based on their ability to master video games. Those with limited ability in a given skill, or who otherwise exhibit characteristics of one who is new to that skill, are collectively known as ''[[newbie|noobs]]''.{{ref|pro}}


On August 6, 2009, it was announced that a ''Pure Pwnage'' TV series had been commissioned by [[Showcase (Canadian TV channel)|Showcase]].<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/tV6cjKxZFOM Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20120724221004/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV6cjKxZFOM&;eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmashable%2Ecom%2F2009%2F08%2F06%2Fpure%2Dpwnage%2F&;feature=player_embedded Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV6cjKxZFOM| title = Pure Pwnage special announcement | website=[[YouTube]]| date = 6 August 2009 }}{{cbignore}}</ref> Upon the announcement, many members of the ''Pure Pwnage'' fan community raised concerns. The main complaints were that the series was only announced to be airing in Canada, and the assumption that it would be changed in order to appeal to viewers not familiar with [[internet culture]]. Jarett Cale, who writes the show and plays Jeremy, tried to quell the complaints on the ''Pure Pwnage'' forums, saying "We're doing our best to get it broadcast in the USA, UK, Australia, etc., but it's really up to each country's respective broadcasters. ''[...]'' Geoff and I are still the main creative force&nbsp;– we're producers and writers. We've also brought on many new people with experience in traditional television to help us out both story-wise and production-wise. FPS Doug will still be there, and he will still be played by Joel Gardiner."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=92459&view=findpost&p=1770140 |title=''Pure Pwnage'' forum post |last=Cale |first=Jarett |date=2009-08-06 |publisher=ROFLMAO Productions |access-date=2009-08-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616054549/http://purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?s= |archive-date=June 16, 2010 }}</ref> In response to a user asking if the TV series meant there would be no more web episodes, he said "Nope, it only means there's a new TV series."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=92541&view=findpost&p=1772872 |title=''Pure Pwnage'' forum post |last=Cale |first=Jarett |date=2008-08-10 |publisher=ROFLMAO Productions |access-date=2009-08-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616054549/http://purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?s= |archive-date=June 16, 2010 }}</ref>
Persons with abilities that exceed those of others, primarily in video gaming, are referred to as ''pro''. The noob/pro distinction is not mutually exclusive, as a pro may be rendered a noob by a more proficient pro.{{ref|t-shirt}} A complete noob cannot become pro simply through training; this merely results in a trained noob.{{ref|trained}}


Despite this, the future of the web series was uncertain. Geoff Lapaire, director of all previous episodes of ''Pure Pwnage'', left the show in September 2008 to focus on the then-unannounced TV series, and Troy Dixon, who played T-Bag in the series, died in a car accident on December 6, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=84552&view=findpost&p=1600457 |title=''Pure Pwnage'' forum post |date=2008-12-09 |publisher=ROFLMAO Productions |access-date=2009-08-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616054549/http://purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?s= |archive-date=June 16, 2010 }}</ref> Jarett Cale announced in January 2009 that work on the next web episode had begun, with him as the director, however, the episode has not been released.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.purepwnage.com/index.php?GUID=86392 |title=''Pure Pwnage'' news post |last=Cale |first=Jarett |date=2009-01-27 |publisher=ROFLMAO Productions |access-date=2009-08-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090720025702/http://www.purepwnage.com/index.php?GUID=86392 |archive-date=July 20, 2009 }}</ref>
=== Micro ===
Most characters in ''Pure Pwnage'' exhibit a fantastic video game playing ability known simply as '''micro'''. The [[neologism]] ''micro'' stems from [[micromanagement (computer gaming)|micromanagement]] strategies inherent in playing [[real-time strategy|RTS]] games effectively. One’s “micro” ability is applicable to any manner of video gaming, suggesting that any individual function of any given game [[peripheral]] may be managed with a significant level of refinement and expertise.


In a short Livestream cast on March 15, 2010, a user posted a comment regarding the web series and Jarett replied that the web series is back in production and is in progress. He has not given out an ETA.
The primary function of micro is to win while playing video games, and otherwise pwning noobs. However, micro can be both practiced and made use of in [[real life]] — otherwise known as ''RL''. Examples of this include efficiently dialing [[telephone]] numbers and quickly checking one’s bank balance at an [[Automated teller machine|ATM]].


On January 19, 2011, Jarett announced on the Pure Pwnage forums that the TV series had not been picked up for a second season. Additionally, the web series has been put on indefinite hold. In his own words: "My hope that Pure Pwnage will see a proper ending to its illustrious web series has nearly vanished. I've let Geoff know that should he be willing at any time to resume some of his traditional, critical roles on the web series I will fly home to Toronto in a heartbeat to help make it happen."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=101262 |title=''Pure Pwnage'' forum post |last=Cale |first=Jarett |date=2011-01-19 |publisher=ROFLMAO Productions |access-date=2020-08-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928071607/http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=101262 |archive-date=September 28, 2011 }}</ref>
When a video game player reaches a certain high level of ability, that gamer transcends mere micro ability, and thus possesses ''[[über]] micro''.{{ref|micro}} In order to attain a high degree of über micro, the gamer must undergo significant physical and spiritual training. This training is conducted under the tutelage of a person with much greater micro.{{ref|training}}


On September 18, 2012 The Pure Pwnage YouTube channel uploaded a video titled "010100100100010101010100010101010101001001001110" which is a binary encoding of the word "Return", signalling the return of the Pure Pwnage.
Those who possess partial or complete über micro abilities are able to practice their micro without the aid of an actual peripheral device. To the layperson, it appears that a person demonstrating über micro is keying and mouse-clicking empty air.{{ref|demo}}


==Pure Pwnage Teh Movie==
Those who have achieved a significantly high level of über micro may begin to manifest their video game playing abilities in more profound ways while in RL. In this way, characters in ''Pure Pwnage'' are not limited by the normal restrictions of reality.{{ref|battle}}
On September 19, 2012, an official [[crowd funding]] campaign was announced to aid in the funding of a Pure Pwnage movie.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indiegogo.com/purepwnage|title = Pure Pwnage: Teh Movie}}</ref> The $75,000 goal was raised in just over 24 hours, due to overwhelming support from fans all over the world. At the end of the campaign, a total of $211,300 was raised.


On November 22, 2015, the official trailer was released. The movie premiered in Toronto on January 23, 2016, at the Bloor Cinema. Further screenings took place around the US and in the UK.
Jeremy’s views on über micro were reported in the December 2005, UK edition of [[PC Gamer]]. He was quoted as saying, “to have über-micro is to be completely at one with the controls of the game. It’s to have a thought in your head, and never for one moment examine how that’s going to get out into the game; it just flows through you. To have über-micro is to know that at every moment all your units are doing exactly what you want. Your brain is flowing straight to your hands. It’s sort of like [[qi]], you know. You’ve got to close your mind to all things, and focus on the micro.”


On May 7, 2016, Pure Pwnage Teh Movie was released for streaming and digital download via Vimeo.
Since Episode 9 (“The Story of Dave”), the concept of reality-altering über micro has been visualized as intensly-colored auras around the hands of the practicioners, as well as glowing orbs shooting from their hands. These phenomena are mostly blue, but red is used for some of the bad guys. Presumably due to technical limitations, none of this is seen in Episode 4 when Jeremy and <code>Teh_Masterer</code> are having a micro battle. It also does not manifest when the characters are ''actually'' gaming (i.e., on a computer). The presence of the glowing orbs has taken the show beyond realism, even though the crew has repeatedly said the show is quite real and about Jeremy’s life. It has also been heavily criticized as being “too much like ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]''”.{{citation needed}}

During an interview, Kyle insists that all of the characters on the show are not [[acting]].{{ref|teamspeak1}} He suggests that the personalities on ''Pure Pwnage'' display their true-to-life abilities and eccentricities, and the characters take great pains to maintain that the ''Pure Pwnage'' world is simply an extension of the real world.


== Spin-offs ==
{{spoilers}}
;[[Image:LOL!.JPG|175px|right]]'''Jeremy''' (alias '''teh_pwnerer''') : The [[protagonist]] of ''Pure Pwnage'', twenty-three year old Jeremy is a [[stereotype|stereotypical]] pro [[gamer]]. He lives in [[Toronto]], [[Canada]] with his brother, Kyle. Jeremy spends the vast majority of his time playing video games and "[[pwn|pwning]] [[noobs]]", using the online handle teh_pwnerer ("the ownerer"). He has been playing games since the age of two, when he used to "totally pwn ''[[Pong]]''".
:Due to Jeremy’s profound immersion in video game culture, his [[social skills]] have atrophied. However, he has also developed the ability to quickly master any video game, and can play competitively against extremely skilled opponents.
{{-}}
;[[Image:PurePwnageKyle.PNG|175px|right]]'''Kyle''': Jeremy’s younger brother and [[television director|director]] of the show, Kyle is a full-time [[film school|film student]]. He determines what events to film, but mostly just follows Jeremy around. Occasionally, he tries to introduce Jeremy to a diversion other than video gaming. According to Jeremy, Kyle is a "total noob" in many ways.
:The show is shot almost entirely from Kyle’s point of view, so even though he often talks to the other characters, he is never really seen on camera.{{ref|kyle}} Not even the ''Pure Pwnage'' website has any pictures that show Kyle’s face (though there is a wallpaper [http://www.purepwnage.com/wallpapers.html] that partially shows Kyle with his face hidden behind a camera and a baseball cap).
{{-}}
;[[Image:BOOM!.JPG|175px|right]]'''Doug''' (alias '''fps_doug''') : Jeremy’s boisterous friend and [[rival]], Doug spends most of his time playing ''[[Counter-Strike: Source]]'', defeating his opponents by skillfully "getting the [[headshot]]". Doug has serious [[anger management]] issues, and can appear to be a [[psychopath]], obsessed with [[FPS]] games to the point that he goes out training and practicing imaginary headshots in real life.
:Doug’s triumphant [[catchphrase]], "BOOM! HEADSHOT!", has become a popular exclamation among FPS players and has been displayed on many online [[message board]]s. Doug has grown tired of this phrase, and now hates when people ask him to say it{{ref|teamspeak1}}.
{{-}}
;[[Image:Dave01.jpg|175px|right]]'''Dave''' (also known by his [[Chinese language|Chinese]] name, '''Dawei''') : Jeremy’s friend, notable for his [[cooking]] skills and his nonchalant sense of humour, Dave is first introduced as a crew member in a "behind the scenes" featurette at the end of Episode 3 ("FPS Doug"). He excels at fighting games such as ''[[Street Fighter II]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', but is usually seen cooking or casually observing Jeremy’s and Kyle’s antics.
:Dave left the show after Episode 9 ("The Story of Dave"), saying he had things to do back in China. The webcomic later revealed that he was really moving to [[Vancouver]] for a new job. However, the creators of Pure Pwnage have been known to be misleading, and the webcomic could very well be a filler for those looking for an explanation on why Dave left the show. Then again, the webcomic could very well be real.
{{-}}
;[[Image:Masterer.JPG|175px|right]]'''Teh_Masterer''' : Always clad entirely in [[ninja]] clothing, Teh_Masterer is a mysterious master gamer who trains Jeremy and others in the ways of being a pro gamer. His micro ability is so profound that he can play multiple video games at once, and he claims that he once "beat [[Garry Kasparov]] and [[Deep Blue]] with nothing more than a row of pawns and a single bishop." He lives in seclusion in a small apartment, but he does have access to a training area (Kyle refers to this as the "room with no exits"{{ref|teamspeak1}}). His true identity is unknown.{{ref|masterer}}
{{-}}
;[[Image:Anastasia (Pure Pwnage).jpg|175px|right]]'''Anastasia''' (nicknames '''Stasia''' and '''Tagi''') : [[Massively multiplayer online game|MMO]]-playing Anastasia is Jeremy’s first love-interest on ''Pure Pwnage''. She interacts with Jeremy off-camera in Episode 2 ("Girls"), but the audience never sees her meet him until Episode 6 ("Imapwnu of Azeroth"). She plays ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' under the pseudonym "Tagi". Anastasia and Jeremy have differing views about video games, as she believes they should be social — not just about pwning.

=== TV series ===
On August 6, 2009, it was announced that a ''Pure Pwnage'' TV series had been commissioned by [[Showcase (Canadian TV channel)|Showcase]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.purepwnage.com/index.php?GUID=92459|title=Pure Pwnage announcement: "Project X Revealed"|publisher=ROFLMAO Productions|access-date=2009-08-16|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090811220757/http://www.purepwnage.com/index.php?GUID=92459|archive-date=2009-08-11}}</ref> The announcement was made in the form of a mini-episode where Kyle tries to convince Jeremy to stop playing on his [[Nintendo DS Lite]] and make the announcement. The series had been teased for several months under the name "Project X". The TV series premiered on [[Showcase (Canadian TV channel)|Showcase]] March 12, 2010, and premiered on Australia's [[ABC2]] on October 4, 2010. According to creator Jarett Cale, the TV series itself takes place in a fictional world within the Pure Pwnage universe (webseries) where Kyle ironically got a TV series, thus explaining the lack of consistency between shows.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/abc2/201010/programs/ZX1389A001D2010-10-04T210600.htm?program=Pure%20Pwnage|title=Pure Pwnage - Life Of A Pro Gamer|website=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] |access-date=2010-09-27}}</ref>

=== Jeremy's Mail Sac ===
[[Image:Pure pwnage comic 4.jpg|left|thumb|Pure Pwnage Comic number 4. Jeremy's encounter with the jock is displayed as a spoof of a [[Final Fantasy]] style battle menu]]
Starting in March 2010, the ''Pure Pwnage'' website began letting fans send Jeremy questions via e-mail. Jeremy then answered the fan questions in video segments posted on the website titled ''Jeremy's Mail Sac''.


== ''Pure Pwnage: The Comic'' ==
=== Pro at Cooking ===
Starring Dave (Dawei) as himself, ''Pro at Cooking'' is a spin-off of ''Pure Pwnage''. A cooking show for gamers with Dave hosting as the main chef. When his female assistants do not perform as expected, Dave constantly fires each one of them usually after every episode. Directed by Davin, it has only aired seven 5- to 10-minute episodes. No other characters from ''Pure Pwnage'', excluding Dave, Davin, and Geoff, appear on the show.
Since [[February 28]] [[2006]], the ''Pure Pwnage'' website features a regularly-issued comic, of which a new page is released twice a week. Apparently set in the “real world” — rather than in the [[magic]]al world of ''Pure Pwnage'' — the comic breaks most of the [[fourth wall]] of the show. For example, while in the show Dave held that he was leaving it due to unfinished business in China, the comic claims that the real reason was that he had gotten a new job in [[Vancouver]].[http://www.purepwnage.com/comic.php?p=2] However, both the show and comic clearly contain elements that are either symbolic representations of reality (e.g. pwning an opponent in "blue orb" micro as a possible metaphor for pwning them in an actual video game) or are not based in reality whatsoever.


=== ''Pure Pwnage: The Comic'' ===
== Phrases used or popularized by the show ==
From February 28, 2006 to March 7, 2007, the ''Pure Pwnage'' website featured a regularly issued comic, of which a new page was released once every two to three weeks. Apparently set in the "real world" rather than in the fictional world of ''Pure Pwnage'', the comic breaks most of the [[fourth wall]] of the show. For example, Dave said in the show that he was leaving it due to unfinished business in China, the comic claims that the real reason was that he had found a new job in [[Vancouver]].

; [[newbie]]: Someone who is "new to gaming", or has never played a particular game before.
; noob: Someone who just plain sucks. This term is used commonly by Jeremy as an insult or taunt. His rationale for calling even skilled gamers "noobs" is that "everyone is a noob compared to me."

To perform pseudo-micromanagement in air or on a platform irrelevant to gaming (such as a public phone or an [[ATM]]), as if one was playing a game with a mouse and a keyboard; often referred to as "one’s micro". Jeremy often shows his micro in public, and this is an easily recognizable gesture among fans. It is also used by Jeremy in "micro-battles". <code>Teh_Masterer</code> seems to have the ability to see a player’s real micromanagement skills just by looking at their "micro".

; [[LOL (Internet slang)|LOL]]: (pronounced "lawl") An acronym for "laughing out loud", commonly used in chat rooms and games signifying that someone has typed, shown or done something funny. Used by Jeremy in real life (he actually says "LOL" when he laughs).
; [[ROFL]]; [[ROFLMAO]]: Acronyms for "rolling on the floor laughing (my ass off)". Usage is similar to that of "LOL".
; "...and stuff, right?": Used extremely frequently by Jeremy. Grammatically, this replaces "et cetera", and adds a confirmation request tag question.
; to school an opponent; to make an opponent ride the school bus; to take an opponent to school: To beat an opponent by using a tactic of which they are ignorant, thus educating them in that particular tactic. Hence, more generally, to pwn a noob.
; [[Three Dozer Build]]: A tactic often used by newbies in the RTS game ''[[Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour|Command & Conquer: Generals — Zero Hour]]''. Usually a strategy thats most RTS players hate
; ghey: (pronounced "gay") Used as a generic insult. Despite being derived from the word "gay", it does not suggest [[homosexuality]].
; "u r a fag": Insult used against people who email Jeremy in episode 10. The skit is a parody of the [[Strong Bad]] emails of [[Homestar Runner]].


However, both the show and comic clearly contain elements that are either symbolic representations of reality (for example, [[pwn]]ing an opponent with "micro balls" as a possible metaphor for pwning them in an actual video game) or are not based in reality whatsoever.
== Trivia ==

* Jeremy, in his early childhood, played [[interactive fiction|text-based adventure games]], but later became utterly obsessed with empire-building games on his 386, and then [[multiplayer|competitive play]] as video games evolved. The ''[[Warcraft]]'' and ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series were of particular interest{{ref|teamspeak1}}. He is more concerned with gameplay than graphics. His favourite game designer is [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]{{ref|teamspeak1}}.
=== Pure Pwnage: Teh Movie ===
* Jeremy should not be confused as a [[Cyberathlete Professional League|professional video game player]] whose primary source of income comes from winning video game tournaments. Rather, the implications of “pro” in Jeremy’s sense (and pretty much all around the amateur video gamer community) refers only to relative skill level. Jeremy spends the majority of his time playing video games, and therefore lacks any kind of gainful employment. In the TeamSpeak chat, Jeremy stated that due to this lack of income, he cannot travel to competitions as much as he would like.
In September 2012, series creators Jarett Cale and Geoff Lapaire announced an indiegogo campaign to raise funds for a Pure Pwnage feature-length film. Within 24 hours of the campaign being launched, the project had received its goal of $75,000, and by the end of the campaign, they had reached a total of $211,300. Despite this being a relatively small film budget, Jarett Cale and Geoff Lapaire have said that with their experience of making the web series with an extremely limited amount of funds, they are confident that they would be able to make a quality film shot in countries across the world, mentioning hopes of filming in South Korea. Pre-production began in earnest in early 2013, with weekly twitch.tv live streams in which Lapaire, Cale, and guests such as Joel Gardiner (fps_doug) and Miranda Plant (Tagi) discuss the film and interact with fans.
* Kyle does his best to emulate classic [[film director]]s such as [[Martin Scorsese]], and he desires to be like [[George Lucas]] and [[Steven Spielberg]]{{ref|teamspeak1}}.

* Dave makes a reference to [[ice cream]] more than once, which seems to be a favourite of his.
The film also featured Nathan Adams as an Accounting Associate, [[Ajay Fry]] as himself, and actors [[Gwenlyn Cumyn]], Thomas Finn, and Alberta Mayne<ref>{{Citation|title=Pure Pwnage|date=3 February 2016|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4682866/|access-date=2020-05-13}}</ref>
* Dave is the only ''Pure Pwnage'' character to have his head on an official ''PP'' T-shirt.

* Doug seems to shave his head and face specifically for episode filming. He was seen wearing a hair-concealing [[tuque|toque]] and scruffy beard during his live appearance for the theatrical screening of Episode 9. This is likely to maintain [[continuity]] in his [[hairstyle]], unlike Dave, whose hairstyle changes greatly from episode to episode.
The film premiered on January 23, 2016, in Toronto, Ontario. Following this, Cale and Lapaire took the film to the road, screening the project around the world in a touring limited release.
* Many of the pro gamers in the show seem to have some of their own unique skills they attain. These skills can be taught to one another, it would seem. While most micro is simply the ability to pwn and even throw some energy balls around, micro can be really interesting. For example, Doug’s micro allows him to instantly center his aim on an opponent’s head.

On May 7, 2016, Pure Pwnage Teh Movie was released for streaming and digital download on Vimeo.

# {{note|teamspeak1}} In July 2005 the ''Pure Pwnage'' cast and crew held a public [http://chigau.com/ppchat-edited.mp3 ''Pure Pwnage'' TeamSpeak Interview], revealing many details about the show and the personalities involved in its creation.
# {{note|pwn}} The word “pwnage” can be pronounced several different ways. The show’s creators pronounce it “ownage”. Jeremy justifies this pronunciation with the following statements: “When people say ‘/[[Pwn|po<sup>ʊ</sup>n]]/’, they sound like a complete fag, and I’m not cool with being a fag, so I pronounce it ‘own’.” “‘Pwn’ was originally a typo of ‘own’, because the ‘P’ is near the ‘O’ on the keyboard. The person is still trying to say ‘own’.” [TeamSpeak chat, [[December 13]] [[2005]]].
# {{note|pro}} In Episode 1, “The Life of a Pro Gamer”, Jeremy refers to himself as “pro”, based on his superior video game playing skills, and refers to inferior gamers as “noobs”. He also cites Kyle’s inept social skills and camera work as those of a noob.
# {{note|t-shirt}} In Episode 4, “Pwn or Be Pwned”, <code>Teh_Masterer</code> explains the nature of noobs vs. pros. Moreover, pros such as Jeremy and FPS Doug are defeated and temporarily rendered noobs — they become “noobified” — in Episode 2 (“Girls”), and in “Pwn or Be Pwned”. Other evidence of the relative relationship between pros and noobs is clarified in the “Jeremy’s mailbag” section of the ''Pure Pwnage'' website. An [[October 2]] [[2004]] letter from user “ID Project” asked about Jeremy’s new T-shirt. Jeremy responds “lol it sez i pwn n00bs bcuz evry1 is a n00b compared 2 me rofl”. This clearly suggests that pros may become noobs when faced by superior pros.
# {{note|trained}} Jeremy explains the trained noob phenomenon in Episode 5, “M8s”.
# {{note|micro}} Episode 2 (“Girls”) suggests that only pro gamers such as Jeremy possess über micro. Examples of his superior micro ability are apparent in every episode.
# {{note|training}} Episode 4 (“Pwn or Be Pwned”) shows Jeremy enhancing his micro with training by <code>Teh_Masterer<code>, who certainly displays micro capabilities greater than Jeremy’s in multi-genre gaming. <code>Teh_Masterer</code> is also seen training lesser video game players in Episode 9 (“The Story of Dave”). Episode 8 (“LANageddon”) shows Jeremy and Doug training each other in their respective genres, as each man possessed substantially greater micro than the other in their individual games before the training session.
# {{note|demo}} Jeremy shows his micro to <code>Teh_Masterer</code> in Episode 4 (“Pwn or Be Pwned”) without the use of a keyboard. Being an experienced video game player, <code>Teh_Masterer</code> comprehends Jeremy’s micro ability. In Episode 2 (“Girls”) the non-gaming people do not comprehend Jeremy’s micro demonstration.
# {{note|battle}} In Episode 9 (“The Story of Dave”), many characters clearly demonstrate abilities that transcend the boundaries of reality. Most notable is the ability for various pro gamers to use their micro to physically combat each other in RL. Kyle being knocked to the ground by a micro attack during the micro battle shows that micro can also be effective against non-gamers.
# {{note|kyle}} There are some instances where Kyle is caught on camera. In Episode 2 (“Girls”), when Jeremy is talking about the one time he pwned, the mirror behind him gives a presumably accidental glimpse of Kyle filming. In addition, Episode 9 (“The Story of Dave”), gives a third person shot of Kyle filming when the group is ambushed, but his face is hidden behind the camera as usual.
# {{note|masterer}} In [http://forums.purepwnage.com the ''Pure Pwnage'' forums], a forum member’s [http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=6702&view=findpost&p=88712 post] pointed out a physical resemblance between <code>Teh_Masterer</code> and a musician named Geoff Lapaire, based in [[Toronto]]. The presence of a link to the ''Pure Pwnage'' site at the bottom of [http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/~glapaire/ Lapaire’s website] suggests the possibility that he is the actor who plays <code>Teh_Masterer</code> and/or is ''Pure Pwnage''’s music producer. A [http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=6702&view=findpost&p=156298 later post] in the same thread confirms Geoff Lapaire’s association with ''Pure Pwnage'', as the <code>purepwnage.com</code> domain name is registered under the name “Geoff Lapaire”. His specific connection to <code>Teh_Masterer</code> remains unconfirmed, but in a FAQ by a root admin of the forum [http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=649&st=0&p=12204&#entry12204] it is verified that "Geoff is the web guy, he makes the Pure Pwnage web page and the store page."

Pure Pwnage (pronounced "pure ownage")[1] is a Canadian Internet-distributed mockumentary series from ROFLMAO Productions. The fictional series purports to chronicle the life and adventures of Jeremy (played by Jarett Cale), a Canadian and self-proclaimed "pro gamer". In 2010, an adaptation of the web series began airing on Showcase, a Canadian cable television channel, but the series failed to be picked up for a second season.

Premise

[edit]

Pure Pwnage is a web series that follows the life of Jeremy, a skilled gamer who struggles with social interactions due to his self-centered and lazy nature. The show focuses on Jeremy's interactions within the gaming community and with non-gamers. Jeremy's brother Kyle documents his experiences, creating a documentary-style narrative.

History

[edit]

Pure Pwnage was created by Geoff Lapaire and Jarett Cale who also play the show's main protagonists. Originating in 2004, eighteen Internet-distributed episodes of the series have been released to date. In 2007, the series creators estimated their current viewer base to be over three million.[5] The series is filmed primarily in Toronto, Ontario, but has also included scenes filmed in Calgary, Alberta; Montreal, Quebec; Aurora, Ontario; Hamilton, Ontario; and the Netherlands.

During an interview, director Geoff Lapaire (although as "Kyle"; Lapaire maintained his "Kyle" identity among fans and media) insisted that all of the characters on the show are not acting.[6] He suggested that the personalities on Pure Pwnage display their true-to-life abilities and eccentricities. The characters took great pains to maintain that the Pure Pwnage world is simply an extension of the real world. Lapaire has finally admitted that they are, in fact, actors. The sixth fanchat with the crew was out-of-character, where the fact that the characters within Pure Pwnage are exaggerated versions of the actors was confirmed.

On August 6, 2009, it was announced that a Pure Pwnage TV series had been commissioned by Showcase.[7] Upon the announcement, many members of the Pure Pwnage fan community raised concerns. The main complaints were that the series was only announced to be airing in Canada, and the assumption that it would be changed in order to appeal to viewers not familiar with internet culture. Jarett Cale, who writes the show and plays Jeremy, tried to quell the complaints on the Pure Pwnage forums, saying "We're doing our best to get it broadcast in the USA, UK, Australia, etc., but it's really up to each country's respective broadcasters. [...] Geoff and I are still the main creative force – we're producers and writers. We've also brought on many new people with experience in traditional television to help us out both story-wise and production-wise. FPS Doug will still be there, and he will still be played by Joel Gardiner."[8] In response to a user asking if the TV series meant there would be no more web episodes, he said "Nope, it only means there's a new TV series."[9]

Despite this, the future of the web series was uncertain. Geoff Lapaire, director of all previous episodes of Pure Pwnage, left the show in September 2008 to focus on the then-unannounced TV series, and Troy Dixon, who played T-Bag in the series, died in a car accident on December 6, 2008.[10] Jarett Cale announced in January 2009 that work on the next web episode had begun, with him as the director, however, the episode has not been released.[11]

In a short Livestream cast on March 15, 2010, a user posted a comment regarding the web series and Jarett replied that the web series is back in production and is in progress. He has not given out an ETA.

On January 19, 2011, Jarett announced on the Pure Pwnage forums that the TV series had not been picked up for a second season. Additionally, the web series has been put on indefinite hold. In his own words: "My hope that Pure Pwnage will see a proper ending to its illustrious web series has nearly vanished. I've let Geoff know that should he be willing at any time to resume some of his traditional, critical roles on the web series I will fly home to Toronto in a heartbeat to help make it happen."[12]

On September 18, 2012 The Pure Pwnage YouTube channel uploaded a video titled "010100100100010101010100010101010101001001001110" which is a binary encoding of the word "Return", signalling the return of the Pure Pwnage.

Pure Pwnage Teh Movie

[edit]

On September 19, 2012, an official crowd funding campaign was announced to aid in the funding of a Pure Pwnage movie.[13] The $75,000 goal was raised in just over 24 hours, due to overwhelming support from fans all over the world. At the end of the campaign, a total of $211,300 was raised.

On November 22, 2015, the official trailer was released. The movie premiered in Toronto on January 23, 2016, at the Bloor Cinema. Further screenings took place around the US and in the UK.

On May 7, 2016, Pure Pwnage Teh Movie was released for streaming and digital download via Vimeo.

Reception and awards

[edit]

Pure Pwnage Teh Movie received the Canadian Comedy Awards 2016 award for best feature film.[14] The film was well-received by general audiences.[15]

Spin-offs

[edit]

TV series

[edit]

On August 6, 2009, it was announced that a Pure Pwnage TV series had been commissioned by Showcase.[16] The announcement was made in the form of a mini-episode where Kyle tries to convince Jeremy to stop playing on his Nintendo DS Lite and make the announcement. The series had been teased for several months under the name "Project X". The TV series premiered on Showcase March 12, 2010, and premiered on Australia's ABC2 on October 4, 2010. According to creator Jarett Cale, the TV series itself takes place in a fictional world within the Pure Pwnage universe (webseries) where Kyle ironically got a TV series, thus explaining the lack of consistency between shows.[17]

Jeremy's Mail Sac

[edit]

Starting in March 2010, the Pure Pwnage website began letting fans send Jeremy questions via e-mail. Jeremy then answered the fan questions in video segments posted on the website titled Jeremy's Mail Sac.

Pro at Cooking

[edit]

Starring Dave (Dawei) as himself, Pro at Cooking is a spin-off of Pure Pwnage. A cooking show for gamers with Dave hosting as the main chef. When his female assistants do not perform as expected, Dave constantly fires each one of them usually after every episode. Directed by Davin, it has only aired seven 5- to 10-minute episodes. No other characters from Pure Pwnage, excluding Dave, Davin, and Geoff, appear on the show.

Pure Pwnage: The Comic

[edit]

From February 28, 2006 to March 7, 2007, the Pure Pwnage website featured a regularly issued comic, of which a new page was released once every two to three weeks. Apparently set in the "real world" rather than in the fictional world of Pure Pwnage, the comic breaks most of the fourth wall of the show. For example, Dave said in the show that he was leaving it due to unfinished business in China, the comic claims that the real reason was that he had found a new job in Vancouver.

However, both the show and comic clearly contain elements that are either symbolic representations of reality (for example, pwning an opponent with "micro balls" as a possible metaphor for pwning them in an actual video game) or are not based in reality whatsoever.

Pure Pwnage: Teh Movie

[edit]

In September 2012, series creators Jarett Cale and Geoff Lapaire announced an indiegogo campaign to raise funds for a Pure Pwnage feature-length film. Within 24 hours of the campaign being launched, the project had received its goal of $75,000, and by the end of the campaign, they had reached a total of $211,300. Despite this being a relatively small film budget, Jarett Cale and Geoff Lapaire have said that with their experience of making the web series with an extremely limited amount of funds, they are confident that they would be able to make a quality film shot in countries across the world, mentioning hopes of filming in South Korea. Pre-production began in earnest in early 2013, with weekly twitch.tv live streams in which Lapaire, Cale, and guests such as Joel Gardiner (fps_doug) and Miranda Plant (Tagi) discuss the film and interact with fans.

The film also featured Nathan Adams as an Accounting Associate, Ajay Fry as himself, and actors Gwenlyn Cumyn, Thomas Finn, and Alberta Mayne[18]

The film premiered on January 23, 2016, in Toronto, Ontario. Following this, Cale and Lapaire took the film to the road, screening the project around the world in a touring limited release.

On May 7, 2016, Pure Pwnage Teh Movie was released for streaming and digital download on Vimeo.
