Beyond "BOOM HEADSHOT"

To Pwn (Own), a definition: to utterly humiliate an opponent in any realm of competition, wheter it be real life (RL) or the endless world of internet gaming. No doubt many of you have seen the short clip of a bald man dubbed "FPS Doug" going ape shit while playing the ever popular video game Counter Strike. But there is much, much more to this world where video gaming and Pwning is the be all end all of human existence. In fact the short clip is only a small segment of an online show called "Pure Pwnage", of which FPS Doug is only a side character. The show is shot in the mockumentary style featuring a pro gamer Jeremy AKA "Teh Pwnerer" and behind the camerea his older brother Kyle. The show is currently in its second season and debuts its new episodes in live venues in multiple countries. The show combines satire and various gaming references to lovingly mock the world of gaming. The creators of the show, Geoff Lapairde(Kyle), a former Phd candidate and Jarret Cale (Jeremy) are both avid gammers and show off their skills at expos such as E3 and other public venues. I urge you, even if you do not play video games, to check out this refreshing break from the monontounous reality shows and the other trash on regular telivision today. The episodes are all available for online viewing at their website.
