I'm pretty sure I let out an audible growl when I read "Teh".

edit: Alright, well, I didn't hate it quite as much as I expected to. I can safely say this isn't for me but take no issue with its existence.

Some of the comments in this thread make me feel old .

I remember watching their videos back in the day, late 90's/early 2000's with their CS videos.

 

[phoenix296]

Web series was ownage. TV series was meh. I wonder if Dave is back.

 

[squall23]

Oh hey, I remember this web series. I always saw them filming at the field of my high school at the time.

I have some good news: https://twitter.com/purepwnage/status/558405085160800257

 

[danowat]

Boom, headshot!

Man, I'd completely forgotten about this show!

 

[B_Spooky13]

Eh I never really had the internet when I was 25 nor Canada TV.. Never heard of the show

 

[Warm Machine]

"That reason... is owning"

I cringed so hard

It's funny. The character is single minded in the show.

 

[CaptainGyro]

You make me feel old.

I'm 43 and I never heard of it

 

[publicpwnerer]

Heh, I was glad to support this on Indiegogo, but I wasn't sure how it would turn out

Looks like I was worried for nothing...it looks awesome. A lot of great memories surrounding PP and gaming back then.

I feel like it might be the opposite of what some are thinking in this thread: the younger crowd might be the ones more familiar with Pure Pwnage, while it's the older users who never knew of the web series.

 

[metalmonstar]

Wow, I had no idea it was still around. Cool that they are working on a movie.

 

[phoenix296]

If you played WoW circa 2004-2006 you most likely knew about pure pwnage.

 

[Insertia]

Pure Pwnage is awesome.

 

[Helmholtz]

Loved the web series way back when. I think I watched a couple episodes when they switched to TV and it was pretty bad.
This looks alright though. But to be honest I'd rather it returned in the same format as the web series. It was the perfect format for something like this.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqWFYOxjZ54

Oh no... I'm getting old.

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

I don't know about you but it definitely feels like that stuff was released a long ass time ago... which it was.

 

[Aeana]

World of Warcraft is a feeling.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Don't even know what Pure Pwnage is

This makes me feel old on the internet

Looking forward to it

 

[CrackaF3tt]

I remember seeing fps doug all the time. Pure pwnage does sound familar. This could be good though.

 

[Hayama Akito]

wow Pure Pwnage haha, this brings me back!

 

[Scrooged]

Blast from the past!

Pure Pwnage was the shit back in 2005.

 

[grandjedi6]

The production values and music were crazy impressive and still hold up today. And that was ages before the YouTube boon. It's only recently that other web shows and comedy bits started to have the same quality as pure pwnage.

 

[Mookie1515]

My highschool life is flooding back to me. FPS Doug was everywhere, Cooking with Dave was the best show spin off.

RIP T.Bag

 

[Sunnington]

If you played CS back then, "Boom Headshot!" was everywhere. It wasn't until around the TV show came out that I found out it was a web series. It's so good. It's the sole reason I bought Red Alert 3 and subsequently SC2. I still reference controllers as noob sticks.

Now that Counter-Strike is back in full force we need FPS Doug to usher in the second era of Boom Headshot.

 

[GoonerTRON]

FPS doug was like the first youtube video for me.

 

[Death Metalist]

Dat nostalgia. I'm definitely in, especially if they are going to release a bluray.

 

[Arcayne]

And it goes BOOM HEADSHOT. BOOOM HEADSHOT. BOOOOOM HEAD. SHOT.

 

[Circinus]

No idea what it is, but it looks awful and obnoxious imho.

 

[StayDead]

I'm so glad I backed this campaign. I loved Pure Pwnage when it came out and I love watching it even now (I go back and do a rewatch once every few years). The teaser was so good. I know they've revealed Dave is back, but they should reveal him in the most badass way possible in the film.

I can't believe it's been 7 years since the accident. RIP T-Bag ;_;

 

[xzeldax3]

I'm so excited for this. It's been such a long time.

 

[Fried Food]

I stopped watching the webseries shortly after all the crap with the black robe guy clan stuff happened.

 

[IcyStorm]

This doesn't seem to have all the ridiculousness that appeared in the latter half of the web series and doesn't look as bad as the TV show... I have hope. Maybe it's just the nostalgia that's driving it.

 

[LowParry]

So is this something straight outta Adult Swim?

 

[Vampirolol]

Just watched the T-Bag episode for the first time, holy shit this show is good! The rap and the "you called me n-word??" parts are amazing! I used to watch some Pwnage videos but never followed it.

 

[firehawk12]

I backed this ages ago and forgot that it was still a thing. Glad that it's finally close to finished, I suppose.

You know, it's funny. When the show was still new, RTSes were still a thing and Jeremy was a Generals player. Now? RTSes are dead and it's all about DOTA. I wonder if they could have even updated that in the time that they were in production.

 

[Komo]

Hell yes

Was FPS Doug always than thin though? Looks pretty skinny

 

[-MD-]

Hell yes

Was FPS Doug always than thin though? Looks pretty skinny

Yeah he's always been thin.

 

[Yoday]

So is this something straight outta Adult Swim?

This was a web series before YouTube was a thing. When this show was in it's prime you had to go to their website and download a video file to watch it. When I think of the dawn of the web series, I think of Pure Pwnage.

The WoW episode was one of the best and works pretty well as a stand alone episode. Just ignore the bizarre beginning.

[MutFox]

"BOOM!!!
HEADSHOT!!!"

"You run faster with a knife, everyone knows that!

 

[Dictator93]

Yeah, definitely gonna watch this.

Hell yes

Was FPS Doug always than thin though? Looks pretty skinny

Yes. The dude always looked like a psychopath.. it is great.

 

[CountAntonius]

Good times. Will watch.

 

[Glass]

Would love for this to blow up and get big. Being 2004 I guess hey missed out on the Youtube generation. If it had been done a few years later I wonder if they would have blown up on there like so many Lets Play-ers did.

Their earlier episodes were so well done. World of Warcraft is a feeling hit the nail on the head for me and others who were at the time totally sucked into that game.

 

[Sealtest]

Donated $55 when the indiegogo was announced but we went almost a year without a proper update, In the end i'm happy its finally made.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Damn, I feel like this movie is a decade late. Hope it's good, though.

 

[TheYanger]

wow I completely forgot about pure pwnage...Trailer looked fun. Cautiously optimistic.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I was a little bewildered wathing this cause I thought FPS Doug passed away

 

[Hoo-doo]

Goddamn, back when being 1337 was a still a thing.

 

[Sojgat]

I was a little bewildered wathing this cause I thought FPS Doug passed away

No, it was T-Bag who died

Motherfuckin' Halo king of this planet!

 

[big_z]

looks pretty good and having the movie about coming back to own the pros is a much better concept than what the web series started moving towards.

 

[JudgmentJay]

I didn't watch this series often, but I loved the WoW episode in my early WoW days. My old guildmates and I still reference that song to this day.
