I first encountered the term when playing MMORPGs. It means to get killed by another player, but very brutally with no chance of survival.

The word pwn, as used by the Internet gaming subculture, means to beat or dominate an opponent. While it probably originated as a typing error it is now used intentionally by many members of the subculture. The term has become so ubiquitous in Internet circles that it is often used outside of gaming contexts; for example, "he just got pwned in that debate" or "the hunters pwned that bear."

I love how they explained that. It's so serious that it's funny.

That is indeed funny. It's one of those, "Why the hell does anyone care about this?" sort of thing.
