I'm loving this.

My roommate Jeremy is a "pro gamer". If you play video games, you have probably been pwned by him. Jeremy finds that being a pro gamer is often a challenge since his talents are rarely appreciated. I started making videos about Jeremy and people started emailing us saying "OMFG U PWN ROLFOLOL!!1". I'm in film school so I decided to make this show about him.

Perhaps not one for the dialup-ers, but it's worth the download.

Hmm was pretty lame. I expected better, especially since I've already seen other movies in the same genre.

And wtf "pwn" isn't pronounced "own", it's pronounced "pooned" you noobs!

no its pronounced "own" pronouncing it "pooned" was a joke so that the uninitiated try hard computer geeks try and start a conversation on the street and say "pooned" the o was originally replaced with a p to give it more effect as the letter p is bigger than the letter o...

It's actually debatable where it came from. One of the more believable theories is that it came from some game I forgot the name of where if you win it says "YOU PWNED THE ENEMY" because of a typo.

2. pwned
Unlike the other people who have posted definitions that are ridiculous, do not have substantial backing, or are simply mis-informed, I will give the complete definition of what "pwned" means.

1. The origins of "pwned" are debated but there are two possible sources:
a. A prominent quake player mis spelled "owned" and the new word "pwned" was adopted by people who thought it was "1337".
b. A warcraft map designer misspelled "owned" and thus people started using "pwned" instead.

The definitions are as follows:
In video games:
1. Completely annihilated or dominated.
2. Perfectly owned, meaning the other player did not do any damage.
I pwned your head with my awp.

OR

I just pwned your ass noob!

and if ive sed it once, ive sed it 1000 times, MMORPG's are an addiction trap to ANY gamer....

No you idiot, p was chosen to mock the people who couldn't type for shit. It was a common typo where people type pwn isntead of own since the p is right next to the o in the modern QWERTY keyboard.

Similarly, teh replaced the in geek language since it was a common typo.

No it wasn't. People thought 'pwn' had more effect than 'own' so everyone started using it. They just thought it was cool.
