The episodes

Short featurette: "Pure Pwnage Preview"

This movie appeared prior to the release of the first episode. It features Jeremy standing alone in an open courtyard (presumably at a university campus), talking in detail about how he pwns at Zero Hour. This also gives an early look at his pelvic thrusting antics. In this movie, Jeremy seems to have less of an accent, which could indicate that he changes the tone of his voice during filming and public interviews. The movie concludes by displaying the Pure Pwnage logo while a voice over states, "If you really want to pwn noobs, watch Pure Pwnage, coming soon." This featurette can no longer be found on the Pure Pwnage website. It can be downloaded here

Episode 1 — "The Life of a Pro Gamer"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 1.png
The life of a pro gamer.

The first episode of Pure Pwnage, introducing Jeremy and Kyle. Jeremy explains why he is making this show, and how he lives. By making this show, he believes that he can help any given person be more like him, and less of a "noob". After this introduction, Jeremy visits an Internet forum and replies to posts he sees as unreasonable, or foolish. After going out for a meal, he comments on a "Free Tibet" protest, using RTS terminology. Finally, Jeremy resumes playing video games, and introduces his pelvic thrust victory posture.

Episode 2 — "Girls"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 2.png
Jeremy facing rejection.

This episode is interspersed with interviews of females displaying their knowledge and opinions of games and gaming terminology. After learning that Kyle had a girlfriend, Jeremy is challenged to prove that he can also attract women. He attempts to attract them with various techniques, which usually have something to do with gaming skills and strategies. After a misunderstanding with a homosexual guy, he makes one last try and leaves. Back home, he claims to have met a girl who actually kissed him. The viewers find out later (in episode 6) that he did actually kiss a girl, and that girl is Anastasia a.k.a. Tagi.

(Teh_Masterer provides the voiceover for the interviewer in this episode.)

Episode 3 — "FPS Doug"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 3.png
"BOOM, headshot!"

Jeremy begins by visiting two friends that are from "Europia or whatever" who translate messages for all the "Germanic" and "Hollandaise" fans of the show. Jeremy complains about EA, the company that develops and produces his favorite game, Command & Conquer: Generals — Zero Hour. Jeremy expresses his disappointment that EA discontinued support for Zero Hour. Afterwards, Jeremy comes across his old friend Doug (a.k.a. "FPS Doug") in a parking lot, who is fending off imaginary adversaries. Jeremy explains the story of their childhood friendship, and their subsequent falling out. As a "behind the scenes" featurette, Dave (Dawei) is shown for the first time, as the crewmember who held a lamp in Jeremy’s room in Episode 2.

Short featurette: "Happy Birthday Jakob"

Jeremy is surly when asked to say Happy Birthday to Jakob, a friend from Sweden. It is not until Kyle suggests that Jakob has cancer that Jeremy finally cooperates.

Episode 4 — "Pwn or Be Pwned"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 4.png
Teh_Masterer beating four games at once.

The episode starts off with a spoof of the machinima Red vs. Blue using Command & Conquer: Generals — Zero Hour. After this, Jeremy loses to a noob in Zero Hour and must then visit the mysterious master gamer known as Teh_Masterer. Teh_Masterer provides Jeremy the next level training, in which the student learns a valuable lesson: "If one wants to truly pwn, one must pwn in all games". A parody of Kill Bill ensues and the episode reaches its climax with an epic micro battle. This is a turning point in Jeremy’s pro gamer life, and his T-shirt message is mysteriously upgraded from "Übergamer" to "i pwn n00bs". At the very end, Jeremy is seen walking into EB to purchase Half-Life 2

Episode 5 — "M8s"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 5.png
Jeremy filming himself after upsetting Kyle.

Jeremy "graciously" lets Kyle show a short film he made in film school, titled "Strong Man, Angry Man". After viewing the short film, Jeremy laughs and sarcastically mentions to Kyle that the film was "pretty good". Next, Jeremy insults Kyle’s camera skills, and claims that Kyle’s films will never pwn. They end up having an argument, causing Kyle to depart with his camera. He decides to start filming Doug instead, but Doug loses to a noob and develops a tantrum. Escaping Doug’s somewhat psychotic behaviour, Kyle walks away to consider his dispute with Jeremy. Kyle realizes that their friendship is more important than creative differences, and they remain friends, or "mates" as the title implies.

Episode 6 — "Imapwnu of Azeroth"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 6.png
Anastasia and Jeremy playing World of Warcraft.

Jeremy's computer has been confiscated by his mother, so he has intentions to spend the night playing CS:S at Dave’s place. However, Kyle wants him to meet up with a girl named Anastasia before going to Dave’s. Once he meets her, he realizes that she is the girl who kissed him in Episode 2, only nobody believed him at the time. After their second encounter, Jeremy has a strong desire to see Anastasia again. Despite his strong disliking of Warcraft and MMORPGs, he decides to buy World of Warcraft in order to meet up with her in the game world. Jeremy uses Dave’s computer to play, and soon falls in love with both Anastasia and WoW.

Short featurette: "Dave Delivers"

  • The "Dave Delivers" featurette can be found at AusGamers.com.

Episode 7 — "The MMO Grrl"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 7.png
Jeremy being questioned by a psychiatrist.

Jeremy has been admitted to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in a comatose state, believing himself to still be in the game (WoW). He has flashbacks of his experience playing WoW with Anastasia. Jeremy has a gaming-related epiphany and awakes from the coma. At the end, the Pure Pwnage friends innocently hold a barbecue, and all seems well. However, a mysterious man, who has been secretly following Jeremy throughout the series, sends a troubling e-mail, ordering an unnamed receiver to send "deathstriker6666" after Jeremy.

Episode 8 — "Lanageddon"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 8.png
Doug practicing RTS theory.

Jeremy and Doug have started to play video games together again, just like they did before their feud. Jeremy recives an ominous phone call, foreshadowing events to come. Faced with the approach of LANageddon, Jeremy and Doug teach each other about their respective mastered game genres: Jeremy instructs Doug about RTS games while Doug returns the favour by informing Jeremy about FPS games. Eventually, they arrive at LANageddon where they sign up for the CS:S tournament. The two easily win each game, and are destined to meet each other at the finals. However, they encounter a confident, loudmouthed adversary known as "deathstriker6666", whom they discover very quickly to be no noob.

  • The songs "I’m a Gamer" and "Building a Computer (for teh_pwnerer)" are featured in this episode.
  • Release date: September 19 2005
  • Running time: 22:33

Episode 9 — "The Story of Dave"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 9.png
Dave pwning his noob friends.

The beginning of the episode is a Call of Duty 2 skit, featuring FPS Doug and Jeremy playing as soldiers. They make a reference to Pulp Fiction; Doug says "[m]an, I hope you don't have a watch in your ass". After the skit, Kyle decides to do an episode solely centering around Dave, because of his online popularity. The next scene involves FPS Doug receiving a new weapon from a friend of Teh_Masterer, and it parodies several scenes from the film Taxi Driver. Back to Jeremy and Dave, they encounter Anastasia, who is on a date with a guy who is a jock, which aggravates Jeremy. After a heated exchange, Jeremy storms off, clearly very angry.

After a while, the trio are confronted by a crowd of unknown micro warriors, who attack them. During the middle of the battle, the action cuts off to an important flashback of Dave’s past in China, revealing his gaming history. Suddenly he breaks, and comes to the rescue, helping to drive away the attackers. Jeremy and Kyle immediately consult Teh_Masterer, who orders Jeremy to find more pro-gamers. Upon arriving home, Jeremy finds a sad note left by Dawei on the table, indicating his apologies and exit from the show.[1]

Episode 10 — "Teh Best Day Ever"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 10.png
Jeremy answering some mail.

Jeremy begins the show with a homage to Strong Bad E-Mails from the Homestar Runner Internet series. Jeremy and Kyle have moved out of their mother's house, and are living in their own Spartan apartment. Jeremy has been unable to play video games, due to the lack of a powerful PC or a television for console gaming. Instead, Jeremy focuses on improving his RL skills, such as cooking and holding a job, though he fails at each endeavour. Doug comes over as an attempt to cheer Jeremy up, but their fun is short-lived as Anastasia arrives and gets into an argument with Jeremy. Jeremy becomes depressed and joins Myspace and claims he doesn't want to work on the show anymore. But when a touching e-mail reminds him of the many lives that find inspiration in Pure Pwnage, he realizes the futility of his self-defeating attitude. He eventually steals his powerful PC from his mother and makes up with Anastasia with a kiss.

In this episode, the opening song lyrics, instead of "I am the pwnage, bitches", were "I have the power, bitches" ― a reference to He-Man.

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 10.5.png

Episode 11 — "i <3 u in rl"

File:Pure Pwnage Episode 11.png
Jeremy Pwns in Amsterdam.

After reconciling, Jeremy and Anastasia spend most of their time together playing separate games in Jeremy's apartment. Later, en route to meeting Doug, Jeremy must flee from a group of enthusiastic Pure Pwnage fans. Doug reveals that he is carrying his Sega Master Light Phaser, and displays that it is functional in RL. Suddenly, teh_masterer calls Jeremy from a nearby pay phone, telling him to go to the Netherlands. Immediately, the scene switches to a council of mysterious people who discuss teh_masterer's training scheme. Jeremy and Kyle visit the Netherlands using the money from the Ebay auction of Jeremy's hair, where Jeremy engages in more micro training. This dangerous trip infuriates Jeremy, but pleases teh_masterer. An unrelated footage follows the episode where Jeremy makes fun of sheep by imitating "lol" (pronounced "lawl") like a sheep at forum user Skrie's farm.

Easter eggs

Easter eggs in the episodes:

  • Jeremy addresses Kyle as "Adam" occasionally during the featurette "Happy Birthday Jakob," which may indicate his real name. This happens at 1:16, 1:55, and 3:22. In the last occasion, Kyle can be heard whispering "Kyle," as to correct Jeremy.
  • On a few occasions in the same featurette, it appears as if Kyle referred to Jeremy as "Matt", but he immediately changed his sentence. This occurs at 2:04. This occurs again at 2:16 - 2:18 He says Matt twice.
  • The four games that Teh_Masterer is playing simultaneously in Episode 4 are (in order from top-left to bottom-right): The Legend of Zelda, GoldenEye 007, Super Mario Bros., and Super Metroid. He beats the level he was playing in each game simultaneously. These are speedruns from the http://speeddemosarchive.com/GameList.html
  • Jeremy can execute a shoryuken, as seen in Episode 4 ("Pwn or Be Pwned").
  • During a shot of Doug playing CS:S in Episode 5 ("M8s"), at 8:51, a BOOM HEADSHOT spray can be seen on the left wall. The spray can be downloaded from the Xtra Stuff section section of the Pure Pwnage website.
  • At the start of Episode 6, a binary number is displayed on a blackboard behind Teh_Masterer’s head. When translated into decimal, it reads as the number 1337. In the next shot, it changes to "It’s too late".
  • During Episode 6, when Kyle answers the payphone, Teh_Masterer (the caller) wants to speak to Jeremy. As Kyle hands the phone to Jeremy, one can faintly hear Teh_Masterer as he commands, "Put that noob on the phone." Teh_Masterer is either possibly referring to Jeremy’s inability to play games at that point in time, or to his claim to found a "gamer army". The fact, that he is actually looking for other pro-gamers underlines this.
  • There is a Spirit Healer on the computer screen during Jeremy’s "death scene" in Episode 6, indicating that Jeremy has died in the game as well.
  • In the beginning of Episode 6, several scenes are shown that appear to be future scenes in the series. One of them includes the LANageddon scenes, where deathstriker6666 is challenging Jeremy. There is also a scene of a young woman with short dark hair, whose identity remains unrevealed. Since deathstriker6666 appears in Episode 8, it is highly likely that this mysterious woman will appear in a future episode.
  • At the beginning of Episode 7, when Jeremy's teammate fails to sheep ads fast enough and gets everyone killed, someone remarks "way to go, Leeroy!", which is a reference to Leeroy Jenkins.
  • In Episode 8, when Teh_Masterer calls his contact to get a new computer, he purchases one of the Omen series, by Voodoo PC. Omen is defined as "a phenomenon supposed to portend good or evil; a prophetic sign," which seems to be an appropriate name, considering how Jeremy defeats his opponent.
  • In Episode 8, when Doug is competing against 7 other CS:S players, one of his victims is under the alias "f4tality". This is a nod to Johnathan Wendel, a professional FPS-gamer who goes by the name "Fatal1ty". Early in his career, Wendel played Counter-Strike before he resorted to single-player games such as Quake III Arena, and recently Painkiller. By the fact that in the episode Doug defeats "f4tality", it works as a display of Doug’s professional skill level, as Wendel is deemed to be one of the best players worldwide.
  • It is not until Episode 8 that micro becomes a truly prominent force in the show.
  • In Episode 9, one of the supporting characters states, "It doesn't come from here; it comes from here," and points to his head. This is a reference to several old martial arts films that have the same motto.
  • One of Teh_Masterer's students mentions in Episode 9 that there hasn't been a public micro battle "since the Miyamoto peace accord". Miyamoto refers to the creator of the Mario Bros. and many other Nintendo games and characters.
  • On several occasions throughout the show, Jeremy makes conscripts and movements towards the creation of a gamer army at the behest of Teh_Masterer. It is not until Episode 8, when Doug mentions it, that the viewer truly knows Jeremy’s intentions, which explain the odd phone calls made to Jeremy through payphones.
  • In Episode 10, The opening scene is a parody of Homestar Runner, but with a Pure Pwnage twist. On the lower left hand corner of the screen, it says "Compy 386", the same name for the computer Strong Bad uses to answer his e-mails from Homestar Runner.
  • In Episode 10, during the opening scene, a writer named (.50)'[DooRag]-[2PAC]wigga4life writes in challenging Jeremy to a game of Unreal Tournament 2004. He says to come to his clan server at 66.115.132.176. The IP is a direct link to 'chisel.com', a homosexual pornography link site.
  • In Episode 10 when Jeremy and Anastasia argue, Anastasia queries one of Jeremy's statements with "oh really?" - Jeremy then returns this with "ya really!" - A reference to the orly owl, a popular Internet phenomenon.
  • At the beginning of episode 6, there is a sequence with reversed-backwards talking, a homage to Twin Peaks and Special Agent Dale Cooper's interaction with "The Man from Another Place".
  • Near the end of Episode 11, Jeremy is talking to Anastasia and a fan asks for Jeremy's autograph. Jeremy is annoyed but Anastasia tells him that he might get to enjoy being famous and shows several scenes from the Toronto screening of episode 11.
  • In Episode 11, the man who is seen spying on Jeremy throughout the series appears again. This time, he is the man who drops his wallet at the end of the episode. This wallet reads "Bad Mother Fucker", a reference to Jules' wallet from Pulp Fiction.
  • In Episode 11, when the people in the company are trying to get evidence on Teh Pwnerer, one man is said to have "taught Daigo how to parry". This is a reference to a widely-known Street Fighter match.
  • In episode 11, a man is seen doing a 'crazy action' when Jeremy is walking down the street. http://www.purepwnage.com/temp/brian.avi

This was cut out by Kyle and a still from the clip was posted on the Official forums, leading into a photoshop activity. http://www.purepwnage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26841

Continuity errors

  • In Episode 4, when Kyle walks into Jeremy’s room, Jeremy is seen holding a liquor bottle. In the next shot, the bottle is nowhere to be seen. One possible explanation is that there was a considerable lapse of time between when Kyle was zooming in on the monitor to when Jeremy is shown on the mattress without the bottle, since Kyle had to temporarily turn off the camera anyway. There must have been a discussion because Jeremy "thanks" Kyle for his "lessons" on pro gaming, and Jeremy seemed to have told Kyle of how he lost to a flame tank.
  • In Episode 5, after Doug gets headshot by a noob in CS:S, the monitor is off. Furthermore, the keyboard that he subsequently smashes is not the same keyboard that he uses to play: the latter one is a standard rectangular keyboard, but the former one is a natural keyboard. (The natural keyboard is seen sitting behind Doug for the shots of him inside, attached to an older computer: IT may be that this is the computer Doug takes his anger out on, not being so completely blinded with rage as to destroy a keyboard possibly worth more than he could afford to replace: he is unemployed, after all)
  • In Episode 5, during Doug's play through CS:S, you can see the number of round wins for counter-terrorists and terrorists at the top of the screen. This means that he is not actually playing the game.
  • In Episode 6 before Jeremy goes out to "buy" World of Warcraft you can see the stack of installation CDs on the desk. here
  • In Episode 8, when Doug and Jeremy are playing Street Fighter 3rd Strike in the arcade at around 4:02 when the shot pans in for a close up of Jeremy's victory pelvic thrust and spank. The man in the background in black turns around and leans up against the machine; when the shot pans out again (Jeremy still continuing the motion) the man is already back again playing the game.
  • In Episode 9, when Bu Jing Yun and Nie Feng attack Dave’s sisters, one of the sisters can clearly be heard speaking Cantonese instead of Standard Mandarin, which was spoken by all the other characters. The scene takes place in Shanxi, where they do not speak Cantonese (which is spoken mostly in the Guangdong province).
  • In Episode 10, roughly between 3:55 and 4:25, Jeremy is seen putting on his jeans. In the next shot, they are back in his hands.

Notes

  1. ^ During a Teamspeak interview, it was confirmed that Dave’s departure from the show was due to his new job, leaving him unable to help out with the show.
