Pure Pwnage Teh Movie - Official Teaser

Bet this thread will become a bunch of people who don't even know what Pure Pwnage is badmouthing it.

I backed this Indiegogo campaign, because Pure Pwnage was genuinely amazing back in the day, and helped me through some tough spots in life. I'm a bit surprised this is still happening, and I hope it still works today. It was a shame when T-Bag passed away; that's pretty much when it all fell apart. A return to "glory" would be nice to see.

Some choice clips from the show:

FPS Doug
Pro At Cooking Episode 1- Dave's Seafood Stir fry
Mario Kart

I did like the Redeye cameo and Apollo moonlighting as a professional player.

They should have gone for something like Fubar or Trailer Park Boys where you don't really have to be familiar with the themes and culture it's mocking and is funny on its own. It's hard going back to old PP episodes because they really double down on the whole "real gamers will get this" stuff.

Or y'know, it just looks bad, familiar with the source or not. Like the AVGN movie looked terrible (and was terrible) even as a fan of James Rolfe.
 
I kinda checked out on this series when they stopped making it about an internet nerd come to life acting like an idiot and made it into some Matrix shit.

That's fine; I'm not even in a position to watch the teaser yet and it could look bad. I'm talking only about the combination of both parts, as in those who don't understand the context for why this exists.

That's definitely when it went bad.

Edit: Watched it: It's hard to tell from this trailer. It's reminiscent of the old show, for sure. I liked the low production value quality of Pure Pwnage, though, and I wonder if a higher budget film could ruin some of it. I wasn't turned off by what I saw, so that's something.

When they rebooted it as a TV Show on Showcase, it wasn't ruined by having a budget.
 
Holy shit I feel really old now

I remember meeting some of the Pure Pwnage guys at Fan Expo here in Toronto and I'm pretty sure they attend every single year.
 
Oh wow. Forgot about this.

I used to love these guys back in the day. The first handful of episodes they made were gold.

Remember the Cooking with Dave spinoff they did?

edit: Just watched the trailer. Holy shit! Tagi is back on board????
 
You make me feel old.

Mainly remembered for FPS Doug Counter Strike for those who never followed them.

I linked this to someone on my steam friends list and he said the same thing.

Did you guys have access to the internet from ~2004-2008?

?! But the first episode was just released in.... 2004...

Oh no... I'm getting old.

edit: hey, they brought the WoW chick back! The dudes got older but she looks the same..

Lol no worries, I'm 31 years old... This had nothing to do with age. I just never bothered clicking on something called 'pure pwnage' ... I guess i'm the old fuck
 
I'm getting this as soon as it's available on Steam. I remember watching this while I was in college... back in 2003-2005... Somewhere around then. I can't remember it's been more than 10 years.

The tv reboot was a little more self aware like the webseries originally was iirc. Too bad it didn't catch on.

Definitely looking forward to this, cheesiness and all.

"That reason... is owning"

I cringed so hard

You're supposed to. It's all very self-aware, just watch the old episodes, they're fantastic. I remember watching these with my roommate in college back in 2005-2006. We even bought t-shirts. I still have my "uber micro" shirt somewhere....
 
Ah Pure Pwnage, I fondly remember those days. Pro at Cooking was amazing as well.

I remember they were amazing at cheering me up while I was having a shitty day. Giant Bomb has replaced them in that aspect, in my perspective at least.
 
Holy crap I didn't know these guys were still alive... I'm definitely going to check the movie out I miss fps doug!
