Synopsis

The Angry Video Game Nerd is an adult web television series of comedic retrogaming video reviews created by and starring James Rolfe. The show's format revolves around his commentary and review of older, but unsuccessful video games which are deemed to be of particularly low-quality, unfair difficulty or poor design. The series began as a feature on YouTube and later became a program on ScrewAttack Entertainment before moving to GameTrailers exclusively. The show was renamed The Angry Video Game Nerd to prevent any trademark issues with Nintendo and due to the fact he started reviewing games from non-Nintendo consoles such as those made by Atari and Sega. Rolfe's character, "The Nerd" is a short-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of anger, profanity, and habitual consumption of alcohol while reviewing video games.

ShangLuda Admirable film.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Ilikehorrormovies He's the angriest gamer you'll ever heard! I've know this guy since summer of 2016. His video make me laugh a lot. The first AVGN video is Friday The 13th (NES). The channel is Cinemassacre, that's where the AVGN episodes are at. His biggest enemy is LJN (the worst game company). My question is why when Nintendo is around when there's a movie LJN have to make it? This is worth watching and I hope someday he review BatMan Dark Tomorrow (more like BatMan Dank Tomorrow). This is the best video game critic in my opinion.
mmallon4 The reviewing of poor media products on the internet has become a whole genre of comedy in itself. Movies, video games, anime, comic books, music, etc, all have dedicated reviewers who will pick them apart and criticize all in the good name of entertainment. One of the most famous perpetrators and originators of this genre within the cyberspace of the internet is none other than The Angry Video Game Nerd. The Nerd (James D. Rolfe), is a fouled mouthed, short tempered retro gamer, destined to review as he would call them, "sh***y f**king games".The Nerd's trademark humor is comprised mostly of strong profanity and over the top comparisons to describe how awful a game is, i.e. "This game is so hard it would actually be easier to outside in a thunderstorm and dodge rain". It's an acquired taste but trust me when I say there are few times in my life in which I laughed as hard when I first discovered this guy and watched his Ghostbusters review back in 2007.This is partially due to many of the games he reviews being so horrific they almost review themselves but also because of James' charisma as a performer. Let's face it, almost everyone who goes on the internet and makes videos in which they try to entertain or inform (including top subscribed You Tubers, although I won't name names) are ether dull or are trying to force a personality onto themselves. James on the other hand is just a complete natural. He's always an absolute joy to listen to and makes the art of appearing on camera and reviewing media (whether comically or straight) seem easy. However James is first and foremost a film maker and thanks to this The Angry Video Game Nerd had considerably greater production values than most other internet content. Frankly the guy is one of my personal heroes. I still continue to enjoy new episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd. I'm glad James now only makes several episodes per year, whereas at the height of the series productivity we had two every month. Some of the more recent episodes are among some of the funniest he's ever done, not bad for something which debuted on YouTube 9 years ago. I just hope he will keep the character in this state of semi retirement. With The Angry Video Game Nerd, James Rolfe managed to create something totally original. Countless imitators will come and go but the original will never be topped.
Karel Bullseye Blechta I've been following Jame's work for years now, and can honestly say that he has some of the Best (and Most Original) material out there. For the people in my Generation, more-often-than-not, an episode brings us down memory lane, to when we were kids playing video games that seemed impossible to beat.His material is like a Fine Wine: It only get's better with time. Most other people would be scrapping the Bottom of the Barrel to come up with Fresh, Original ideas after so many years, but not James. Seems that every video he does (9 times out of 10) are better than the last.From Mario Brothers and Nintendos to Movies and movie trivia, he's a one-stop-shopping kind of guy.If you want really great laughs, and a trip down memory lanes, look no further you've arrived at THE Destination!
anthony-rigoni If you want to see somebody explode over a bad video game, The Angry Video Game Nerd is perfect to watch . In every episode, the Angry Video Game Nerd (Played by James Rolfe) not only plays bad or crappy video games, he reviews them! When one of those video games push him over the edge, expect comedic rant and comedic results. This hilarious web series also features guest appearances by Kyle Justin(Man, he plays a mean guitar!), who composes and sings the show's theme song. If you got classic video games and you think they're bad, wait until you see the Angry Video Game Nerd! From Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout to the Dick Tracy video game, see the Angry Video Game Nerd explode(in a comical way). PS, the theme song is catchy.
