Pure Pwnage/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* The Web series ran almost entirely on YMMV. Fans were split (and may still be split to this day) between the show's fantasy elements ("micro," the group of mysterious villains) and its depiction of gamers as obsessed, lazy and dismissive to "n00bs" (newcomers or rookies to video gaming). Granted, it was an [[Affectionate Parody]], but after awhile, it was hard to tell whether it was comedy, satire or just mean-spirited.

** Add to that the stereotypes of gamers as [[Basement Dweller|Basement Dwellers]]. The show's three leads (Jeremy, Doug and the barely seen Kyle) lived with their parents throughout a majority of the series. Attempts at "real jobs" between Jeremy and Doug would fail spectacularly, with one notable exception: {{spoiler|Jeremy uses his hand-eye coordination skills to speed up a grocery store check-out, and gets hired as a cashier within minutes.}}
