Hemlo, inventor of PWN here.

It was a misspelling of "Owned" in a Warcraft 2 map that I made. People thought it was funny that it upset me when I noticed the typo and perpetuated the map version with the misspelling.

"Player 1 was pwned."

For more Internet history facts, stay tuned.

Sounds like you got pwned, noob.

I fucking did. The Internet will never let me live it down.

However, it belongs to you all now!

Be free

And get rekt :p

Thank you for this incredibly interesting yet highly unexpected history lesson. I really enjoy knowing this now.

..... I can't tell if you're serious or joking but since it's Lemmy I want to think you're serious and that's pretty fucking cool if it is, bud

Hello fellow pog, it is me, your ancestor :>

I mean I am like 37 so you're probably more like my brother haha

Did Pure Pwnage ever pay you rolalties?

Are you kidding me? No way. You can't trademark a word or a typo. That's dumb.

Jeremy deserves every ounce of his fame from Pure Pwnage
