Pure Pwnage

Thanks to a glitch in my tv programming (which is accidentally giving me ALL digital channels for free – well, with a few exceptions /wink /wink) I saw a commercial for the show Pure Pwnage on Showcase.  After checking out the tagline, it seems like I am a few years late for the party – but better late than never right? Here is the teaser:

Jeremy is a leet gamer, but he still lives in his mom’s basement. His n00b brother Kyle, an aspiring filmmaker, documents Jeremy’s life as he is forced to get off his ass and get a “real” job.

The Pure Pwnage web series has been spanking TV since 2004. Now that the show is an Internet phenomenon with millions of fans worldwide, it’s time to pwn TV as well. Pure Pwnage on Showcase is the next step for this universe of uber gamers.

While it seems to be riddled with every stereotype out there, looks campy enough to be funny.
