Showcase is proud to announce the arrival of Pure Pwnage to Canadian airwaves! The hugely popular web series of the same name -- seen at PurePwnage.com, and viewed by over 200,000 unique visitors each month -- has been running for four years now, so longtime viewers will need no introduction.
If you're new to the fold, then you need to know a few things. First, it's pronounced "ownage". Second, the series details the exploits of Jeremy (Jarett Cale), a 26-year-old gamer whose obsession with the Internet and gaming culture is rivalled only by his total lack of social graces. (In other words, he's an "indoor guy".) Behold, Jeremy:
The series, which premieres in 2010, finds Jeremy at a crossroads: if he is to maintain residence in his mother's basement, then he'll need to get a job -- and getting a job means stepping out of the gaming world and back into reality. With that in mind, Jeremy starts his own rock band, becomes a video game tutor, and attempts to socialize with his co-workers at a grocery store.
