Pure Pwnage is a Canadian gaming mockumentary created by Jarett Cale and Geoff Lapaire. Beginning online in 2004, it follows Jeremy—“teh_pwnerer,” a self-proclaimed pro gamer—through the camera of his brother Kyle.

Why the series matters
Pure Pwnage emerged before modern creator platforms became the default home for episodic video. Its downloadable episodes, live screenings, forum culture and merchandise-supported production make it a useful case study in early independent web television as well as gaming culture.
