So if you haven't heard of [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/www.purepwnage.com"]Pure Pwnage[/URL], the popular internet television show documenting the life of a professional gamer named Jeremy, you're missing out. The show basically follows Jeremy and his friends' adventures and drama in a comical, and most entertaining fashion. The idea of the show was to create something that gamers could relate to, and enjoy; this is gamer humor. If you're not a gamer, you likely wouldn't find most of the show even remotely comical.
Chances are, you've heard of the show before, and you don't need me to explain it to you; but did you hear about the T.V. show? It was announced months ago that Canadian broadcasting company [URL="http://www.showcase.ca/"]Showcase[/URL] gave the Pure Pwnage crew a deal on their network, offering one season of a brand new Pure Pwnage [B]television[/B] show. There have been no releases of the internet episodes, and the crew has [hopefully] been hard at work on creating the television show.
Here's the announcement they made 5 months ago. [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/rating/clock.png[/IMG]

If you know of Showcase, you would understand the adult, usually uncensored nature of the channel. They've been playing Trailer Park Boys for years, censored earlier in the day and uncensored later at night; and they've also been going quite successfully with the popular show Weeds.
The show is expected to debut in around March, and run for one full season; likely one show a week. It is also expected that if the show receives good ratings, Showcase will renew their contract with the PP crew and give them another season, meaning more gamer-related lols for us. Chances are the show will also be uploaded to the website in high quality stream.
Sadly, Showcase is only broadcasted in Canada, that wonderful country that's always snowing, where the inhabitants play Hockey constantly instead of working, and reside to their large igloos at night, also known as America's hat.
And the main reason this thread was created, was for this: up until the show's debut, the crew has been nice enough to start a production video blog, giving us some light into what's going on, and reuniting us with our long-lost friends fps_Doug and teh_pwnerer. [B]You can catch these videos on the website, here:[/B] [URL]http://www.purepwnage.com/tv/[/URL]
Sadly, you can only view these clips if you're are connecting from a Canadian IP address; but I'm sure you could use a VPN, and these will most likely be easily found on YouTube.
I've been following Pure Pwnage since the beginning, and I've loved every episode. The characters are well developed, the writing is always perfect, and the comedy is just... one of those things that I would find funny. If for some reason you've made it through your 12? 13? years of life without seeing a single episode of Pure Pwnage, I command you to visit the website and watch every single episode as soon as possible.
So, FP, what are your thoughts on Pure Pwnage?
Will you watch the show? [that is, if you're Canadian :smug:]
pure pwnage was never funny

unless you have the mind of an 8 year old, then no.
[QUOTE=gReplay;19715763]unless you have the mind of an 8 year old, then no.[/QUOTE]
And 8 year old likely wouldn't understand the joke there, you're now denying that that clip is in any way funny just to prove your point and the argument is weak. Read the comments, they find it funny. There must be a market for this somewhere.
You don't like Pure Pwnage, cool, don't shit around because of it.
I love how the site tells me to move to Canada then gives me a link to [url=http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp]this[/url]
I watched it for the first "season" back when it was small. Then I grew out of it.
It says I'm not Canadian...does Showcase really hate Quebec that much?

I got it working and oh god I wish I didn't.
This is horrible.
So anyone remember how old this shit is?
I love watching the first episode.
If you use Mozilla Firefox, and aren't canadian, then go "Tools" > "Options.." > "Advanced" then check the box saying "Warn me when websites try to redirect me"

That was especially hard to watch considering my name is Kyle.
I don't understand why I received so many dumbs in the OP.
Maybe because its dumb? It seems about like any other internet series that isn't funny.

When I was in Toronto I saw FPSdoug, he waved at me.
[QUOTE=Pickle Roaster;19717168]Maybe because its dumb? It seems about like any other internet series that isn't funny.[/QUOTE]
So I'm not being rated dumb, the show is?
I think the show started off rather slowly and with jokes that only competition-level Zero Hour players would understand, but it hit a more mainstream audience by the second ep and turned into something wonderful.
Could do with some prettier micro-battle effects though.

You know, that word started out as a typo in an early version of DotA?
A fucking typo.
A fucking typo has caused me to facepalm at probably hundreds of people who think they're cool/funny for using it.
