Pure Ownage as used in online gaming to stress your superiority on all levels. Spawned from the root word pwn, which originated as a misspelling of the word own. Hence this stupid word is two screw-ups away from anything close to english.

verb: A term used to express one's act or state of elite preformance. Pwnage stems from the word "pwn" which is a typographical error of the word "own". The "p" replaces the "o" because during the frenzy of gaming, the player has no time to correct any spelling mistakes. This word is traditionally used by experienced videogamers, "leet" speakers and others involved in computer minded social or work groups.

pwnage does mean pure ownage
BUT
the word "pwn" comes from starcraft when blizzard decided that the word "own" was to much for their players so they put a profanity filter on the game which made players say "pwn" instead.

A common mistyping of the word ownage. Some people tried to give it a legitimate definition in order to save face, and this has now become commonly accepted despite the clear origins of the word in the qwerty keyboard.
