To the delight of kick-ass gamers, closet gamers, hopeless gamers and irreverent comedy lovers across Canada – Pure Pwnage (pronounced ownage) is to be released on DVD through ABC.

This eight-part mockumentary series, Pure Pwnage, tells the story of 26-year-old Jeremy (Jarett Cale) a.k.a „teh_pwnerer‟*, the most obsessive and possibly the greatest video gamer in the world whose life is documented by his brother Kyle (Geoff Lapaire), an aspiring film director.

A child of the Internet, Jeremy‟s devotion to the online world leaves him with an unfortunate lack of social skills – no matter how hard he tries, he just can‟t relate to the „real world‟.

After he is given an ultimatum from his mother to get a job or get out of the basement, Jeremy must leave the gaming world and join society again – only to find out nobody cares how many n00bs* he‟s pwned!*

Hilarity ensues as the series sees Jeremy start his own rock band, attempt to socialise with his co-workers at a grocery store, and run into an unexpected challenge at „Pwnageddon‟ – the biggest video game tournament of the year.

Additional cast members include Joel Gardiner as FPS* Doug – Jeremy‟s best friend, Melanie Scrofano as girl-gamer October, whose romantic advances toward Jeremy go constantly overlooked, and Eli Goree as Tyrel, an experienced gamer who, unlike Jeremy, manages to transfer his online “coolness” to the real world. Guest stars over the season include Kenny Hotz, Steve Kudlow and Billy Mitchell.

A global phenomenon, Pure Pwnage is based on the hit web series on www.purepwnage.com which receives over 200,000 unique visitors a month. This site has an incredible fan base who have been following the antics of Jeremy for over four years.

The television series is written by Jarett Cale, Geoff Lapaire and Mark Steinberg with showrunner Derek Harvey (Testees and The Tom Green Show). Executive producers on the series are Catherine Tait of Duopoly and Ron Mann from Sphinx Productions, with Davin Lengyel as co-producer.
