Decades of reliving the “decade of excess” resulted in an arms race of high-octane, consumer-driven hyper masculinity. The quest to crown the ultimate badass, ramped up with the invention of the LAZER-US Resurrection Pods, a cloning device that allows users to respawn into new bodies after a violent death ruined their old one. Neutralizing the fear of death allowed for the most extreme sports to cultivate, such as rocket arena combat. However, when all the players were essentially immortal, the audience quickly grew bored of the spectacle. This was resolved when the concept of “PWNing” was introduced. Points were awarded based on the ability to further humiliate a dying player. Jaded audiences responded enthusiastically and PWND became a worldwide phenomenon and possibly the most important thing on this crowded, ugly planet.
