Team Pwn: A Brief Description

'Sup?


This is Team Pwn. In essence, we are a group in the Electronic Magazine program at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy in Austin, TX. In other words, we pwn in every meaning of the word.


I bet you're wondering why we call ourselves TEAM PWN - or indeed, why this blog is so oddly titled "Pure Pwnsauce". I'm afraid that we don't quite have a legitimate reason for you, and will tell you honestly that "pwn" is probably the most ridiculous word ever used. However, it is sort of a running joke within our group, this common use of gamers' lingo (e.g. "n00b", "fail", "pwned", etc.). Our frequent use of the word "pwn" will probably drive you crazy the more you read our posts, but truthfully that one word will account for up to 40% of our blog content, so if I were you I would try to get used to it...as best you can.   


Now that we're all on the same page regarding strange word choices, let me tell you a little bit about our group.


Team Pwn, as previously noted, is comprised of a group of students attending LASA highschool. This blog is an aspect of the mandatory freshman course called Electronic Magazine - aka "Ezine." In the class, we are taught the tools that we need to make a magazine, including journalism techniques, design tricks, and internet ediquette. During the length of this semester we will keep you updated on the goings-on of our magazine, among other things (actually, most of the posts will concern the various ways in which we are PWNING n00bs on the LASA campus every day). To waste more of your time I would like to further explain what our magazine is all about.


Our blog's theme is basically online entertainment. This means exactly what it sounds like: video hosting sites like YouTube, illegal pirating, and more higher-thinking and complex topics along those lines. Essentially you will need to oil your cognitive functions if you plan of comprehending any part of our e-zine. No pressure, though; our magazine will be undergoing many changes and revisions and will also be regularly soaked in pwnsauce, so you have until about the end of the semester to get ready to read it.


That's about it for now, we will drop in probably more this week, since the E-Zine class is double-blocked and we have it every day...in fact, you will probably be hearing more from us than you ever wanted to.


On that happy note, we will leave you here to contemplate the many deep thoughts we have no doubt left in your mind.
