Talk:Pure Pwnage

message: ; by Anonymous (67.140.145.26): Essentially Jeremy embodies the very scum of online gaming in a package that is all too familiar.  Pathetic vocabulary skills, general lack of anything resembling cultural knowledge, and the lifestyle of the perpetual slacker round out the package nicely.  This is, unfortunately, what most people think of when you say 'gamer' unless you're talking about the pen and paper variety, which has it's own features (among them, the thankful lacking of the word "n00b") that set it apart.  All in all I think this is a good parody of the gamer lifestyle, but unfortunately the misguided masses of preteens will attempt to emulate it further than they do on their own.  Online gaming is bad enough these days without stirring up that particular cesspool any more than needed.  In the end, it makes me yearn for the days of my youth when Quake's seperate online client was released.  Those were days when people would actually have intelligent conversation until the server filled up enough for a good game of CTF. (and that was before there even WAS a flag... it was a key)  Now, it's all n00b fagz0rz l0ll0rz!!!11!!!1one and corpse humping until you get bored and leave.  I can only hope that this scathing satire of that type of behavior will help show new gamers how NOT to act.

message: This is almost certainly a joke, and does not belong in the article. Either it should be removed or replaced with a proper pronounciation. I'd do it myself, but I pronounce that word "poonage" and people would probably disagree. --Zootm 11:48, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Since when? I always learned it that " only faegs say Pown" and I don't like sounding like a faeg. Only n00bs say pown anyways. Noob. Quatreryukami 15:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Pownage is an incorrect pronunciation of the word.  Jarret Cale explains it in an interview, which I believe can be found on You Tube.  It seems the word probably came around from people typing 'own', but since they are typing fast, they typo P instead of O because the P is adjacent to the O on the keyboard. Actually pronouncing it 'pownage' comes from people who were not gamers or were not observant of gamer lingo at the time the phrase was coined. Guldenat 21:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agree. I don't know a single gamer over 30 who pronounces the P sound. I've been using "pwnage" (pronounced "ownage") since the days of the original Command and Conquer. It's only in recent years people have started to mispronounce it with the P sound.Mandurahmike (talk) 15:06, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Episode Descriptions 

message: Right now, I see the article as fairly disorganized.  There are several pieces of information and theories that are repeated.  For example, the defeat of deathstriker6666 is written in both his character description and the episode 8 synopsis. 
The article is pretty inconsistent; it's always varying between "First-person shooter", "FPS", "First person shooter (FPS)" and "FPS (first-person shooter)", "Real-time strategy", "RTS", "Real time strategy (RTS)" and "RTS (real-time strategy)", and "n00b", "noob" and "newb". I think the article should just stick to the abbreviations "FPS" and "RTS", with a note for both and a small link to the note after front of FPS or RTS instead of having a link outside of the article each time. I have a bit of trouble decided whether to use "n00b" or to use "noob" for this article because the Pure Pwnage subtitle files are inconsistent, but I've decided to use "n00b" because of Jer's shirt. Both the subtitle files and the show seldom, if ever, use "newb", so I oppose the use of "newb" in the Pure Pwnage article.
Well, that's all I could think of right now.  Any comments/agreements/disagreements towards this would be appreciated. If there happens to be any firm agreement, please help out and edit some of the article in that agreed style! --70.25.168.90 07:32, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do Nawara Ven 02:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I completely agree. "FPS" and "RTS" are pretty standard and should be used; "n00b" most accurately conveys the feeling Jeremy seems to have for them; "CS:S" is the accepted abbreviation. And you're right in that articles should not be wikilinked repeatedly - in the case of "jargon" or specialized terminology, generally the best solution is to use . — flamingspinach | (talk) 18:02, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've personally just used the episode name, simply because there are so few that the name is more descriptive than the number. I've been changing everything to n00b myself... but that seems to be a mistake. "No noobs up in this 'ma" and the spelling in the subtitles says "noob". I would endorse changing it to "noob", not "n00b". Nawara Ven 02:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Organization 

message: IMHO this article is in serious need of some slimming down. Here are some suggestions (I think it'd be better if someone who has actually watched Pure Pwnage rather than just heard of it, as I have, would be better at editing this article for something other than grammar):
* Get the plot summaries out of the characters section. It's useless to have a  tag so far down the page if you're going to start explaining the plot instantly in Jeremy's desription. It's the character section and should be pretty simple, like "Jeremy is a pro gamer who primarily plays RTS games". (Of course not that small but the size they're at now is ridiculous.)
* Information about rumors of Kyle's appearance or Teh_Masterer's actor is spurious, so those should probably be cut as well. Just come out and state what's known and don't state anything that's unknown.
* "FPS Doug: A Biography" should be totally deleted because it serves no purpose whatsoever. We already know about FPS Doug because of his description right above that, and the whole thing is just a spoiler. I swear, the deathstriker6666 sequence is described at least three times in the article. I recommend to completely scrap this section.
* Make the episode summaries more uniform. The first few are a good length; the summaries of episodes 8 and 9 are way too long. Maybe 6 as well.
* Edit for grammar. There are tons of errors, including bad comma use, dangling modifiers, etc.
Thanks. — flamingspinach | (talk) 05:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: IMHO your treatment of episode 8 is sufficient, but 6 and 9 still could do with some slimming down. In general I think an episode summary which doesn't go over the exact events (such as episode 5) is how they should all be. — flamingspinach | (talk) 18:06, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Other sections

message: note 8 states that "it is unknown that these abilites would be effective when used against a non-gamer character". In episode 9's micro battle, a member of the group that attacked Jeremy and co uses micro to blast Kyle to the ground. Kyle is frequently reffered to as "a total noob" and, thus far in the series hasn't played a single game, with the exception of Zero Hour in ep 4, which was only for the purpose of creating the purple vs pink skit. This incident shos that micro can be effective against non-gamers.
Well if the Pure Pwnage comic is to beleived, around page eight the guy chasing jeremy is micro-ed by [ps]Ridley, if that is the name...
Microing a non gamer is a bad question. Microing a noob? Yes, it is effecive, as shown through Kyle and (Ps)Ridley Microing the guy in said comic.Quatreryukami 20:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

rather than like they are currently written (with italics):
: MMO-playing Anastasia is Jeremy’s first love-interest on Pure Pwnage.  She is interviewed in the episode Girls, though the audience never sees her meet Jeremy until Imapwnu of Azeroth.

A solid minute of looking at the commentators/editors contributions show that they have turned this wiki into not only a fansite but also a promotional medium. Someone had the gall to put 'internet culture' tags on this. Get real. The only culture this has are a small group of people that think they're modeled after Waynes World.

message: This can be found in their official forums: 
My apologies for the very late timing of this post. I hope that after reading it through you'll understand the care and consideration it required.
First and foremost: Pure Pwnage episode 19 has, most Captain Obvious'ly, been delayed. It would be irresponsible of me to suggest a new release date at this time, so I won't. When I wrote the news post in April, it was foolishly optimistic and I'm deeply sorry for setting expectations that I couldn't meet.
I'm going to be totally open about these past 9 months so that we can move on from here, no matter where we're going, with honesty and integrity.
In September 2008, Geoff respectfully informed me that he would no longer be involved on set with Pure Pwnage, and that he would also no longer be the show's editor. I faced the decision of either focusing entirely on new projects and leaving the show in limbo, or completing the show we've been promising for years by whatever means necessary. It took approximately 0.02 seconds to make my decision, and I've never regretted it, even after all that's happened.
At that time the game project had been in development for about a year and was experiencing its first crunch period. With an original launch estimation of October 31st, 2008, it became clear with the date fast approaching that there was no hope of getting it finished in time. As the project continued to develop, the scope continued to expand, and so we pushed the launch back to January 31st.
In November I wrote a script for episode 19 and also started work on Project X. Joel flew down for filming at the beginning of December and everything seemed to be falling comfortably into place. We were having a lot of fun and it reminded me of the early days, before all of the pressure, when the show was just a show, and not also the business it inevitably (and thankfully) grew into. On Friday, December 5th, Troy came over to hang out and talk about the upcoming shoots. I hadn't seen him in over a month at this point, and we ended up hanging out, playing games and listening to tunes until 4 in the morning. The following afternoon, less than 12 hours after he left my apartment, he was killed instantly in a car accident. It's extremely difficult for me to describe the impact this had on my state of mind. I'm lucky enough to say that by the age of 30, I'd never lost a friend before. And little did I know, I was about to lose another just seven days later. The rest of December and early January is still a blur for me. I had slipped into what I've since come to understand as severe depression.
By mid-January it was becoming clear that the game project couldn't make its January 31st deadline. This wouldn't have been a big deal if that deadline wasn't also being imposed by a small third party investor named the Government of Canada. Meanwhile the forums were slowly descending into chaos due to ROFLMAO's silence following Troy's death. In the final week of January we managed to get a flexible extension for the game's deadline, my health was improving, and I started to work on re-writing episode 19. On the 27th I wrote this blog post. There was a lot of exciting stuff in the works: the new episode, the game, and Project X.
In mid-February I visited a doctor due to a recurring pain in my side. I had been ignoring it for a few months, but it had slowly grown to the point where it was affecting many aspects of my life. After a lump was found during an ultrasound exam, I immediately concluded the worst and slipped back into a very deep depression. After spending a few weeks in and out of various doctor's offices, the results were "positive": no cancer and no risk of death, but permanent, chronic pain due to nerve damage. As a result of my overall condition at the time, it was strongly recommended that I take a leave of absence.
So, naturally, I immediately went back to work. Try explaining to a doctor that a million people around the world are waiting for you to finish your Internet job and not have him recommend a psychiatrist. Splitting my time between Pure Pwnage, the game project and Project X, I continued work on the script and started booking shoots. The game was still not beta-ready, but we had added another member to the team (now totalling 5) and things were moving forward at a great pace. Then in mid-April, shortly after writing the news post which still sits atop the main page, and following what would normally be considered nothing more than a minor production 'hiccup', I suffered what is commonly described as a nervous breakdown. The cumulative stress resulting from the deaths of my friends, my ill personal health, the now four-months-behind game project, the weight of the entire Pure Pwnage series, and the uncertainty of Project X had an abrupt and severe impact on my ability to function, including temporarily impacting my speech, short-term memory, and motor functions. My doctor ordered me to stop working immediately, and this time I took him seriously. After taking a couple weeks off, including a visit to Calgary to see friends and family (and some fans at the comic-con), I went back to working in a part-time capacity spread across all three projects. This is where we are now.
I know this post is of a very personal nature, but I feel as though over the past five years we've built a pretty unique relationship with our audience, a bond that no show creators to my knowledge have ever had, and you deserve nothing less than the truth, as harsh or depressing as it may be. No corporate bullshit, no marketing slants, just one human being talking to another.
I love Pure Pwnage. It's been the greatest thing to ever happen in my life, and there's a good chance it'll keep that crown forever. There have been many days where I've seriously questioned whether or not this could even be real, or if I was smoked in the head by a car and lying in a coma in a hospital dreaming it all up. I'd often break into these random, big, dumb smiles, looking all goofy, simply because I spent one moment thinking about how lucky I've been these past 5 years. I'm especially thankful that I was raised in an environment that's allowed me to fully appreciate how amazing this gift has been. I've never lost hope, even with all that's happened until now, that the "show will go on". I would never be comfortable or forgive myself for leaving the series as it is now. While it's highly unlikely there will still be 3 seasons, I am absolutely committed to giving this story the proper ending it deserves.
I know many of you have already given up and will hate on the show forever. I accept and take responsibility for that. For those of you who will stick it out, I'll do my best to not let you down. I'm extremely excited about the direction we're headed in these next episodes, and I think you will be too.
-Jarett
clarification edit: Geoff hasn't left ROFLMAO Productions and will continue to make the amazing music in Pure Pwnage. He's also working on Project X.''

message: Shouldn't the Pro at Cooking page just be merged with this one?  I posted a brief explanation on that article's discussion page, but I will reiterate here.  It is a funny show, I like it, but come on, Pure Pwnage has had a much greater influence on internet culture than Pro at Cooking.  It deserves mention in this article, but I don't believe that its very existence warrants a separate article.  Sandwiches99 (talk) 20:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

message: In the episodes "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Doug?" and "The Day the LAN Centre Stood Still" the filming location for the park and neighbourhood scenes is Inch Park in Hamilton, Ontario. In fact, I had earlier suspected that the grocery store Jeremy works in is a store a few blocks from there which now seems more likely.
Also, the map that Jeremy shows in "The Day the LAN Centre Stood Still" of his neighbourhood is in fact the actual neighbourhood in Hamilton where they filmed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axelca (talk • contribs) 17:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Location 

message: Pure Pwnage was notable for being one of the first Internet series to be derived from a viral video (THe original Trailer was merely test footage and not a real pilot for the show).Pre-Dating Youtube, It wasn't until the feed back from the video and its popularity they decided to make a show. Also the Slogans/actions from the Characters became wide spread Internet memes, need to be address. The shows remains one of the few (if only) show to have actually made it to Television and was one of the first on the internet that proved it can infact be a income generating medium for programs (Something that's now just starting to become a common thing). The shows Main Actor/Character/General Content has been featured in a variety of gaming related events, was featured in the Documentary Frag, and has infact put input on several games.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.181.166.54 (talk) 21:50, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
