2 and a half years since the IndieGoGo campaign was funded, the first trailer is now out.

Planned for release in summer 2015.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Kinda wish he had the CRT/setup he had during the old WoW videos

 

[-MD-]

Looking forward to it.

 

[GrizzNKev]

...

Video games, huh.

 

[Gorger]

Pure Pwnage was the shit back during vanilla WoW days.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Don't even know what Pure Pwnage is

 

[Reverend Funk]

Excellent!

Spoiler

what the heck

 

[Corpekata]

That looked unpleasant.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Don't even know what Pure Pwnage is

You make me feel old.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

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 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?

 

[Haunted]

what is happening

what am i watching


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

 

[Aselith]

Well here's a blast from the past

 

[Cheat Code]

I hate everybody already.

 

[Kade]

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.

 

[Aselith]

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.

?! 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..

 

[Kirye]

Oh my god...

I had no idea how much I wanted, nay, NEEDED this until I saw it.

 

[foxtrot3d]

I think that is when we all stopped watching.

When they rebooted it as a TV Show on Showcase, it wasn't ruined by having a budget.

That's good. I heard about that reboot, but never took the time to look into it. If that turned out well, then that's a good sign that this movie will be great, too.

 

[KnightHart]

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.

 

[EscapingJail]

Is Dave still in it?

 

[DarkChronic]

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????

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

 

[Uhyve]

I experienced some sort of child like giddyness when watching this teaser.

I... I... need to see this movie.

So many memories. I feel like I've been teleported back to high school, so good.

I now have the urge to watch some Cooking with Dave.

 

[wenis]

oh wow, they're still around? Good for them. Wow.

 

[Kalamari]

I love this series, day one.

 

[Kusagari]

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

I was totally into this circa 2005.


The show's satire on competitive video gaming has aged surprisingly well.

 

[nobodyshero]

Holy shit, I haven't thought about Pure Pwnage in years...

 

[Momentary]

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.

 

[CambriaRising]

My nostalgia is tingling.

 

[KR_remix]

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

 

[FluxWaveZ]

edit: Just watched the trailer. Holy shit! Tagi is back on board????

Yeah, I had heard there was some sort of falling out between her and the rest of the crew? It's nice to see everyone back.

Is Dave still in it?

Apparently, Dave will be in, in some capacity.

 

[CambriaRising]

"That reason... is owning"

I cringed so hard

I mean, that's kinda the point.

 

[Lionheart1827]

Cant wait for this. Cant believe its finally coming together!

Old, you make me feel young.

 

[JoRo]

"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....

 

[spindashing]

I forgot that this was happening. Awesome.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Pro At Cooking With Dave was the best thing to ever come of this series. That's what we need to return.

[halopower67]

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.

I never saw that spin off, but that video was pretty funny!

 

[taco543]

Holy crap I didn't know these guys were still alive... I'm definitely going to check the movie out I miss fps doug!

 

[Cloud Strife]

Holy shit! Man I remember watching the tv show a while back...sucks if wasn't renewed
