[edit] Season 1

[edit] Episode 1 – "The Life of a Pro Gamer"

The life of a pro gamer.

The first episode of Pure Pwnage, introducing Jeremy and Kyle. Jeremy explains why he is making this show, and how he lives. By making this show, he believes that he can help any given person be more like him, and less of a "noob". After this introduction, Jeremy visits an Internet forum and replies to posts he sees as unreasonable, or foolish. After going out for a meal, he comments on a "Free Tibet" protest, using RTS terminology. Finally, Jeremy resumes playing video games, and introduces his pelvic thrust victory posture.

[edit] Episode 2 – "Girls"

Jeremy facing rejection.

This episode is interspersed with interviews of females displaying their knowledge and opinions of games and gaming terminology. After learning that Kyle had a girlfriend, Jeremy is challenged to prove that he can also attract women. He attempts to attract them with various techniques, which usually have something to do with gaming skills and strategies. After a misunderstanding with a homosexual guy, he makes one last try and leaves. Back home, he claims to have met a girl who actually kissed him. The viewers find out later (in episode 6) that he did actually kiss a girl, and that girl is Anastasia a.k.a. Tagi.

(Teh_Masterer provides the voiceover for the interviewer in this episode.)

"Teh Noob Song" is featured in this episode.

[edit] Episode 3 – "FPS Doug"

"BOOM, headshot!"

Jeremy begins by visiting two friends that are from "Europia or whatever" who translate messages for all the "Germanic" and "Hollandaise" fans of the show. Jeremy complains about EA, the company that develops and produces his favorite game, Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour. Jeremy expresses his disappointment that EA discontinued support for Zero Hour. Afterwards, Jeremy comes across his old friend Doug (a.k.a. "FPS Doug") in a parking lot, who is fending off imaginary adversaries. Jeremy explains the story of their childhood friendship, and their subsequent falling out. As a "behind the scenes" featurette, Dave (Dawei) is shown for the first time, as the crewmember who held a lamp in Jeremy’s room in Episode 2.

[edit] Episode 4 – "Pwn or Be Pwned"

Teh Masterer beating four games at once.

The episode starts off with a spoof of the machinima Red vs. Blue using Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour. After this, Jeremy loses to a noob in Zero Hour and must then visit the mysterious master gamer known as Teh_Masterer. Teh_Masterer provides Jeremy the next level training, in which the student learns a valuable lesson: "If one wants to truly pwn, one must pwn in all games". A parody of Kill Bill ensues and the episode reaches its climax with an epic micro battle. This is a turning point in Jeremy’s pro gamer life, and his T-shirt message is mysteriously upgraded from "Übergamer" to "i pwn n00bs". At the very end, Jeremy is seen walking into EB to purchase Half-Life 2

The song "Feel Like Pwning Noobs" is featured in this episode.

[edit] Episode 5 – "M8s"

Jeremy filming himself after upsetting Kyle.

Jeremy "graciously" lets Kyle show a short film he made in film school, titled "Strong Man, Angry Man". After viewing the short film, Jeremy laughs and sarcastically mentions to Kyle that the film was "pretty good". Next, Jeremy insults Kyle’s camera skills, and claims that Kyle’s films will never pwn. They end up having an argument, causing Kyle to depart with his camera. He decides to start filming Doug instead, but Doug loses to a noob, due to lag, and develops a tantrum. Escaping Doug’s somewhat psychotic behaviour, Kyle walks away to consider his dispute with Jeremy. Kyle realizes that their friendship is more important than creative differences, and they remain friends, or "mates" as the title implies.

[edit] Episode 6 – "Imapwnu of Azeroth"

Anastasia and Jeremy playing World of Warcraft.

Jeremy's computer has been confiscated by his mother, so he has intentions to spend the night playing CS:S at Dave’s place. However, Kyle wants him to meet up with a girl named Anastasia before going to Dave’s. Once he meets her, he realizes that she is the girl who kissed him in Episode 2, only nobody believed him at the time. After their second encounter, Jeremy has a strong desire to see Anastasia again. Despite his strong disliking of Warcraft and MMORPGs, he decides to buy World of Warcraft in order to meet up with her in the game world. Jeremy uses Dave’s computer to play, and soon falls in love with both Anastasia and WoW.

At the end, the Pure Pwnage friends innocently hold a barbecue, and all seems well. However, a mysterious man, who has been secretly following Jeremy throughout the series, sends a troubling e-mail, ordering an unnamed receiver to send "deathstriker6666" after Jeremy.

[edit] Episode 8 – "Lanageddon"

Doug practicing RTS theory.

Jeremy and Doug have started to play video games together again, just like they did before their feud. Jeremy receives an ominous phone call, foreshadowing events to come. Faced with the approach of LANageddon, Jeremy and Doug teach each other about their respective mastered game genres: Jeremy instructs Doug about RTS games while Doug returns the favour by informing Jeremy about FPS games. Eventually, they arrive at LANageddon where they sign up for the CS:S tournament. The two easily win each game, and are destined to meet each other at the finals. However, they encounter a confident, loudmouthed adversary known as "deathstriker6666", whom they discover very quickly to be no noob.

The songs "I’m a Gamer" and "Building a Computer (for teh_pwnerer)" are featured in this episode.
Release date: September 19, 2005
Running time: 22:33

[edit] Episode 9 – "The Story of Dave"

Dave pwning his noob friends.

The beginning of the episode is a Call of Duty 2 skit, featuring FPS Doug and Jeremy playing as soldiers. They make a reference to Pulp Fiction; Doug says "[m]an, I hope you don't have a watch in your ass". Also, the skit bears a resemblance to the ending of Red vs Blue Episode 8. After the skit, Kyle decides to do an episode solely centering around Dave, because of his online popularity. The next scene involves FPS Doug receiving a new weapon from a friend of Teh_Masterer, and it parodies several scenes from the film Taxi Driver. Back to Jeremy and Dave, they encounter Anastasia, who is on a date with a guy who is a jock, which aggravates Jeremy. After a heated exchange, Jeremy storms off, clearly very angry.

After a while, the trio are confronted by a crowd of unknown micro warriors, who attack them. During the middle of the battle, the action cuts off to an important flashback of Dave’s past in China, revealing his gaming history. Suddenly he breaks, and comes to the rescue, helping to drive away the attackers. Jeremy and Kyle immediately consult Teh_Masterer, who orders Jeremy to find more pro-gamers. Upon arriving home, Jeremy finds a sad note left by Dawei on the table, indicating his apologies and exit from the show.

[edit] Episode 10 – "Teh Best Day Ever"

Jeremy answering some mail.

Jeremy begins the show with a homage to Strong Bad E-Mails from the Homestar Runner Internet series. Jeremy and Kyle have moved out of their mother's house, and are living in their own Spartan apartment. Jeremy has been unable to play video games, due to the lack of a powerful PC or a television for console gaming. Instead, Jeremy focuses on improving his RL skills, such as cooking and holding a job, though he fails at each endeavour. Doug comes over as an attempt to cheer Jeremy up, but their fun is short-lived as Anastasia arrives and gets into an argument with Jeremy. Jeremy becomes depressed and joins MySpace and claims he doesn't want to work on the show anymore. But when a touching e-mail reminds him of the many lives that find inspiration in Pure Pwnage, he realizes the futility of his self-defeating attitude. He eventually steals his powerful PC from his mother and makes up with Anastasia with a kiss.

In this episode, the opening song lyrics, instead of "I am the pwnage, bitches", were "I have the power, bitches" ― a reference to He-Man.

The song "Get Outta MySpace" is featured in this episode.
Release date: March 11, 2006 (premiere screenings), March 16, 2006 (official Internet release) Episode 10 premiered at Bloor Cinema on March 11, 2006 in Toronto. It was released on the Internet on March 16, 2006.

[edit] Episode 11 – "i <3 u in rl"

Jeremy Pwns in Amsterdam.

After reconciling, Jeremy and Anastasia spend most of their time together playing separate games in Jeremy's apartment. Later, en route to meeting Doug, Jeremy must flee from a group of enthusiastic Pure Pwnage fans. Doug reveals that he is carrying his Sega Master Light Phaser, and displays that it is functional in RL. Suddenly, teh_masterer calls Jeremy from a nearby pay phone, telling him to go to the Netherlands. Immediately, the scene switches to a council of mysterious people who discuss teh_masterer's training scheme. Jeremy and Kyle visit the Netherlands using the money from the Ebay auction of Jeremy's hair, where Jeremy engages in more micro training. This dangerous trip infuriates Jeremy, but pleases teh_masterer. An unrelated footage follows the episode where Jeremy makes fun of sheep by imitating "lol" (pronounced "lawl") like a sheep at forum user Skrie's farm.

[edit] Episode 12 – "Game Over"

Things are going well in the lives of Jeremy and Kyle. The two are even invited by local TV station executives to discuss the possibility of bringing the Pure Pwnage show to television. Jeremy, much to Kyle’s dismay, quickly ruins the proposition by taunting the TV executives and getting dismissed.

The two then go to visit Anastasia. Along the way, a little dog begins to follow them. Anastasia greets the two at her door, and, seeing Jeremy in his suit from his earlier meeting with the TV executives, assumes that he remembered that today is their anniversary. Anastasia produces a gift for Jeremy, a Nintendo DS Lite, and Jeremy, in panic, offers her the dog that followed him and Kyle, naming him “Dick” in the process.

Jeremy and Anastasia go into town for a date, with Kyle tagging along for camera duty. They drink heavily, downing multiple Jägermeister shots, at the restaurant where Jeremy and Anastasia first formally met. On their way home, they meet Doug, who needs a place to stay for the night; Jeremy reluctantly allows him to stay in his apartment. After a few days, Jeremy and Anastasia grow weary of Doug’s presence. Jeremy finally informs Doug that he and Anastasia would like some time alone. Doug walks away offended and smashes a large CRT television he had been carrying on his shoulder.

In the next segment, Jeremy offers a few parting words to his viewers while sitting with Anastasia, thanking his audience for watching the show. After the screen fades to black, Jeremy dreams that he is in the world of Azeroth with Anastasia, where she is ambushed by two Horde characters. Waking up, Jeremy finds a message on Anastasia’s pillow that states that she had been kidnapped.

Jeremy goes to rescue Anastasia from the mysterious building where she is held captive by the Big Bad. After defeating the Spy, deathstriker6666, and the Power Glove Man with superior micro skills, Jeremy faces the Big Bad and delivers a micro onslaught. Jeremy’s attack is useless against the powerful Big Bad, who absorbs Jeremy's attack with his hand and mockingly proceeds to eat a grape. Jeremy, however, is confident that help is on its way in the form of Teh_Masterer and his gamer army. Just then, Doug arrives on the scene. Jeremy does a celebratory dance, boasting how The Big Bad will now get pwned. But the traitorous Doug, who had joined forces with the Big Bad, points his Sega Master Light Phaser at Jeremy’s head. The Big Bad allows Anastasia to escape with Kyle. As the two reach safety and look back, a micro battle ensues. Kyle faces Anastasia and lowers his camera, revealing his face for the first time in the series.

On April 29, 2007, Kyle posted an article on the front page indicating that there was extra content added to the beginning of Episode 12. This extra content appears after the Tetris fight. The new extended intro showed an extra James Bond style opening.

Release date: October 28, 2006 (premier screenings), November 6, 2006 (official Internet release).

[edit] Season 2

[edit] Episode 13 – "Old Habits"

This episode is shot in reverse order. It begins with Jeremy's younger self playing with a NES Controller and meeting Doug (who is playing with a NES Zapper). The scene is set previous to the pilot episode with Jeremy wearing his old ubergamer shirt. Kyle needs some footage for his University course and makes a deal with Jeremy to be filmed for one day, saying at the end "Nothing bad will come of it". A montage, reminiscent of the Lost intro, showing the season's previous greatest moments (Anastasia and Jeremy first meeting, the battles, the departure of Dave, etc.) ends with Jeremy awake in his bed the same way he did in episode one. In this scene, he talks about waking up after his "near-pwned experience"—a reference to the cliffhanger ending the previous episode (which is not touched upon until the final two minutes).

Due to his gaming skill, Jeremy quickly finds himself in the possession of an Xbox 360 and a Wii; however he seems to lose interest in this after receiving a package from EA with the latest installment of the Command & Conquer series for PC, Tiberium Wars (C&C3).

The episode ends with Jeremy finally playing C&C3 and doing the new pwnage salute with his wide flat screen monitor. He gives a monologue on how he would have never survived without his friends and Dave appears behind him saying "Hey guys, stew's done, just the way you like it". The episode then continues from the end of Episode 12, with Dave appearing to save Jeremy from The Big Bad. When Dave uses his micro on Doug, his blaster pistol fires, killing or incapacitating Big Bad with a headshot. However, Jeremy was hit by a micro blast from The Big Bad and is carried out by Dave.

As referenced by Jeremy in this episode, the show has begun shooting in widescreen.
Release date: April 14, 2007 (premiere screenings); May 4 (Internet)
Running time: 32:06

[edit] Episode 14 – "Lifestyles"

Episode 14 features mainly Jeremy, Dave (Dawei), Anastasia, and Kyle. It begins with Jeremy getting up early to eat the breakfast that Dave has made. Shortly after, Jeremy initiates Dave's "training" by playing Dead or Alive 4 (DOA4). Kyle argues that they are not doing anything meaningful for the show, so they reluctantly go outside to play Frisbee.

Later on, as Jeremy and Kyle walk in the streets, they find themselves in a Gay Pride parade during Pride Week. That night, Anastasia, Jeremy, and Kyle go out for dinner and are met by Dan from the TV studio (Episode 12) and his girlfriend, Jacky. Jacky and Anastasia have a heated argument over the usefulness of games. The couple leave and Kyle remarks that "she's like [his] ex-girlfriend"; Anastasia then notices a woman who is alone and convinces Kyle to approach her, although her partner soon rejoins her. After a short conversation, Kyle returns to Anastasia and Jeremy and states he is going out with the two and that he needs to take the camera.

The next day, Jeremy, Dave, and Anastasia play Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, DOA4, and The Burning Crusade respectively at the "LANapalooza" gamer event in Aurora, Ontario. Upon returning home, Jeremy and Anastasia argue about how Anastasia takes WoW too seriously; in almost a role reversal, Jeremy says games are "supposed to be fun" and that Anastasia is "freaking out" too much and should log out for five minutes. Anastasia angrily storms out of the room with her account still logged in. Jeremy then goes over to her computer and contemplatively deletes Anastasia's level 70 Human Warrior (full tier 5).

There is also a small segment at the end featuring Dave. It is aptly named "Pro at Cooking with Dave", and shows Dave cooking a stew.

Release date: July 14, 2007 (premiere screenings); July 25 (Internet release).
Running time: 30:24.

[edit] Episode 15 – "T-Bag"

The episode opens with a machinima of Team Fortress 2 (TF2). After this, Jeremy, Kyle and Dave attend a Gamer Army lecture by Teh_Masterer, which Jeremy finds boring. Jeremy and Kyle then visit Anastasia. Though Jeremy deleted her character, Anastasia has assumed her account was hacked, and thus is not mad - on the contrary, the time away from WoW has changed her attitude completely.

Later, Jeremy excitedly prepares for the release of Halo 3 in his apartment, and then goes to the mall to purchase the game. He encounters Terrence "T-Bag" Brown, a professional Halo player, who invites Jeremy to his weekend launch party. The episode then segues into a music video featuring T-Bag and Jeremy before heading the launch party. There, Jeremy finds Doug, and challenges him to a Halo 3 duel. Following an altercation between the two, Jeremy leaves the party.

In a narrow hallway with numerous identical doors, the two government agents unlock a weapon—the Menacer—to give to Doug, claiming that he has the power to prevent the war Teh_Masterer is preparing the Gamer Army for. Back in the apartment, Jeremy enthusiastically plays TF2 and appears to have forgotten about Halo 3.

Release date: November 3, 2007 (premiere screenings); November 10 (Internet release).
Running time: 25:24.

[edit] Episode 16 – "Duty Calls"

Release date: March 1, 2008 (premiere screenings); March 8 (Internet release).
Running time: 27:47.

As a prologue, the episode begins with Jeremy playing Rock Band. In order to make some money, Jeremy goes to a local computer shop and sells the parts that he has earned in tournaments—a practice that The_Masterer frowns upon. After selling the prizes, the pair go out for breakfast, where Kyle tries to lecture Jeremy on the value of money.

On the way to T-Bag's house, Jeremy encounters a man and in a dream sequence, and they battle with Guitar Hero and Rock Band controllers. At T-Bag's fitness room, the two awkwardly discuss different matters, including Doug's camaraderie. Ultimately, T-Bag advises Jeremy about his lack of sponsors, telling him that he should stick to a single game in order to earn money. Jeremy cites The_Masterer's quote, "If one wants to truly pwn, one must pwn at all games," but T-Bag ridicules it and insists that Jeremy should get sponsors.

The next scene is a machinima short of Call of Duty 4 (COD4) featuring Jeremy and Doug in a showdown. Afterwards, Jeremy returns to his apartment and has a surprise birthday party with Kyle, Tagi, Dave and T-Bag, who all give him presents. When Jeremy and Kyle are the last two left in the apartment, Jeremy gets a surprise visit from Doug. The two reaffirm their friendship and work together playing COD4 on the same team, dominating the server they play on.

[edit] Featurettes

[edit] Short featurette: "Pure Pwnage Preview"

This movie appeared prior to the release of the first episode. It features Jeremy standing alone in an open courtyard (presumably at a university campus), talking in detail about how he pwns at Zero Hour. This also gives an early look at his pelvic thrusting antics. In this movie, Jeremy seems to have less of an accent, which could indicate that he changes the tone of his voice during filming and public interviews. The movie concludes by displaying the Pure Pwnage logo while a voice over states, "If you really want to pwn noobs, watch Pure Pwnage, coming soon."
