I pronounced it pown too, but I know people who say pawn. My theory is that someone meant to type “own” and hit the p instead of an o, and thus, a meme was born.
back in the good ol’ days of text based MUD’s (yep, i was there), pwn or pown meant ‘player owned’ – which was really talking about higher level d-bags running around killings newbies for fun. guess it still applies in MMO’s today.
I see a Horde player here…bet he supports Garrosh…
Abesik Kampfire FTW!
You have developed this character really good for his small period of existence. Good job! Doubt its blackmail though, he seems like a nice guy! (yes I am a Hordie)
Thanks guys. Yeah, I think you’re right – it should be “pown.” I’ll change it. I think it would be typed “pwn” But I was going for how it would be pronounced, and I got it wrong.
He is so mean!! He is obviously the real noob hehe. I bet Lisa could pwn him
So that’s why Kendra was so reticent about liking MMOs.
First comment her, but could not resist to ask.. Is that guy checking WoW.com??
Btw… Love your comics, as a cat lover wish my 3 cats could do the farming for me u_u
I dunno, he seems a little too happy to divulge that information. If he was intending to blackmail, he wouldn’t have said anything.
I THINK HE PLAYS WOW.
I think you’re right too. There is definitely something going on here lol.
The content of his screen looks kinda like wow.com
He’s obviously a noob then, he’s reading the wrong website.
He wouldn’t have said “pawn” if he played WoW.
you spelled “pwn” wrong =O
Her face in the last panel is priceless
Pwn Pawn, whats the difference where he’s concerned
Hehe! Terrific facial expression in the last panel.
and here I always thought it was pronounced “pown”? Never been a fan of that “word” no matter how many MMO’s I’ve played…

I heard that ‘pwn’ is short for ‘power own’. But your theory makes sense as well.
pwn was born as a typo, just like teh and other similar terms.
I pronounce it as own.

Me, I do pronounce it “pawn”. And yep, I saw it as “spelled as pronounced” in the original. … but then, I didn’t comment “ya spelt it rong!”
FOR THE HORDE!
er…*flees*
Is he a closet WoW fan, or is he trying to make fun of her?
i think he plays horde
I think he plays Alliance.
Then again. I don’t think most WoW Players call it a “Dungeon Raid”.
