Pure Pwnage

Maybe the one or the other of you heard about "Pure Pwnage" already, or has seen some episode. After seeing one of the episodes on a lanparty we started some research and it wasn't hard to find all the other episodes.

Now, what's Pure Pwnage? It's an "Internet Show" about a Pro Gamer. Or at least that's what it started with. They got 10 Episodes by now, and while the first episode is more or less "actionless" it gets better with every new episode. You can also see the improvement on skill on the camera and the way the episodes are done generally.
Now the main character is the Pro Gamer, called teh_pwnerer, a pro at playing RTS (Real Time Strategy). The episodes show way more then RTS though, because you'll get impressions on FPS (First Person Shooters) and of course MMORPGs (which you all know :P - but it's about WoW), as well as impressions of the "normal life".


Now, i think best is if you watch the first episode yourself. Like i said, first episode is mainly a lot of talking, but if you like the way this is presented, make sure you give Episode 2 and 3 a try as well... and then you probably want to see the rest too ;)
If you're not a native english speaker, you might consider getting subtitle files they offer for the movies. It's a neat technique, you get movie and subtitles seperated, so you can try without first and if necessary get the few kb of subtitles after. Not sure how the offered translations are, but i recommend english subtitles only, if you don't want to loose the, well "way they speak".


Anyway, here's the link to their official homepage, and the episode downloads.
Enjoy!
