Ok, I have just watched it for the second time. I have to admit it is not THAT bad. I think we just have to realize this has nothing to do with the web series, then we will be able to enjoy the TV series as well.

This being said, the web series will always remain unique and magical.

Yeah, thats the attitude when watching the TV episodes, you (when i say you, i don't mean you personally, you as in everyone) have to forget the web series was created, because then you might see some similarities in some bits and think why bits aren't like some other bits in the web series and why something else is different etc etc.

Well, that's what ive done when watching them lol.

3 good episodes, 1 average episode. Suddenly this is the end of Pure Pwnage as we know it.

Take it easy, children.

haha these are my exact thoughts

Nice to see Melanie posting on here. I'm sure you've figured it out already, but don't take what internet fans say too seriously. They will bitch and moan all they want, but in they end, they will still be watching.

The show is still great, and so is the cast.

[Bl!ndf!re]

haha me too. but he got paid, so...

true, but his optimistic face while you guys were having the talk about him and then doug telling him to fuck off seriously made me feel bad for like 3 minutes

good acting/singing though

[eafkuor]

Yes, to keep me sane, I will create a delusion inside my head, that counts this TV series as a noobstore, a sell out version to make money while the real show still continues... I think it was time for jeremy to get a new computer so he had to do some whoring to get enough money to get a smoked meat sandwich and a new graphics card while winning th rest at tourneys after being tought valuable lessons from the masterer. Ahh I already feel better.

lol you're a genius

I thought this was a great episode - a good bounceback from the relatively disappointing (but still entertaining) episode 3.

About 30 seconds in my thoughts were "this looks like a parody of a music documentary - I'm sure the Geoff and Jarett will do a great job - this should be entertaining" - and it was.

I was then a little confused when most people on this forum didn't like the ep. The reason then dawned on me when so many people also didn't get the John Lennon/Yoko Ono photo parody. This was an instant recognition for me - and a resulting laugh out loud moment (rather than being confused or weirded out). Also laughed at other music cleches eg. B&W band photos and even "you'll have to ask Jeremy".

I would speculate the average PP fan, and possibly more importantly the average Canadian in the target TV audience, would have more familiarity with the music industry, and music documentaries, that some of the regulars on this forum; and would therefore appreciate this episode. I can understand some people not getting this episode - but I think a majority of fans will find something to enjoy about it.

What I can't fully understand is some saying this episode deviates from the "Pure Pwnage formula". Geoff has stated in interviews that he partly used the web series to experiment with (and parody) different film making styles. Does anyone remember .... Ep 2: couch interviews, Ep 4: kung fu fight sequence, Ep 5: Strong Man Angry Man, Ep 7: machinima dream sequences, Ep 13: multiple flashbacks, Ep 17: Zero Coordination. The "Pure Pwange formula" is that it constantly diverts from one guy shooting his brother with a hand held camera to explore a variety of video styles (usually with hilarity ensuing). Maybe it has been too long since a web episode was released for people to remember.

As always, really enjoyed all the awesome orignal music.

I look forward to enjoying the next 4 episodes, whatever Geoff and Jarett have decided to do with THEIR (awesome) show.

The Episode was good!

...the whole "Rock Band/Guitar Hero" thing is done to death though (PP did it before! Southpark did it! Californication did it to death...) just as World of Warcraft is something that does not need to get complete Episodes. How about making Episodes and jokes on NEW games?

It becomes annoying if you rip on something to often.

Now how Southpark did rip on Tiger Woods and EA last Episode, THAT was hilarious.

Im not sure if PP still got the BALLZ to freak out and tell RL companys like EA how much they suck... maybe PP got to professional and fears to get sued over something like that?


And the 4 Episodes felt so far just like the "Sell Out" that i expected to see... i mean you guys deserve it to get some serious cash by this shit but it just feels wrong somehow.
If it becomes to *prefessional* it doesnt feel *real* anymore and that is exactly what is happening here...
well we had the Warcraft Episode, we had the Rock Band Episode, lets just hope that the worst is over now.


PS: this is complaining at a high level, i still think PP-TV is more entertaining then anything in Stargate Universe or Caprica *brrrr*

[3xp0sed]

A lot of people are complaining, but I'm just happy that PP is on weekly

[lurky]

WOW... this episode was fantastic and is completely wasted on you morons!

[Rotaermel]

I had low expectations for Episode 4 as everyone said that it would suck - but it absolutely didn't. Actually, I like it together with episode 3 more than the first two episodes. It's somehow nice that the episodes now focus clearly on one subject, because in the webseries, there were sometimes episodes in which not much did actually happen.
I hope there will be an episode around the topic "Jeremy on a LAN party" or "Jeremy gets his own appartment with nothing in it but a matress and his PC".

[guy0]

I had to force myself to watch past 5 min (probably cause i hate rockband and guitar hero, glad i did, cause jeremy and doug still makes me lol)

Still not diggin Tyrel. Please make him less bad at everything he does.

Very well said.. Jarret and Joel, take into consideration that the attention span of some people on here is about half a second, if they don't hear "NOOB PWN LOL" every minute or so they lose interest and apparently it becomes the "worst thing I've ever seen on TV". The episode was fine, I was fully entertained the whole way through. The references weren't lost on me, I can't believe anyone doesn't know about the Yoko / Lennon picture. And the song at the end had a powerful Queen-vibe, was that intentional?

Great work as always, don't let the fuckers get you down.

PS: It seems everybody just wants to see exactly what they saw in the web series.. They fear creativity, I guess.

I really enjoyed the episode. I mean, it was a fun episode, and the music was awesome. I'm hoping for more things like the raid at the end of episode 1 in the future in future episodes, though.

WTF?

Have you ever seen the web series?

[Afrohorse]

Yes.. They say stuff like that in the web series a lot. What is your point?

I'm saying that some people are shitting their pants just because the episode deviates from the typical formula.

[DFlame6 (TOA)]

The Web series is significantly slower and you're insulting the web series viewers attention spans?..

[Lt ledhead]

Not bad, but I prefered episode 3. Looking forward to number 5

You.. completely missed the point by miles.
