Well, been watching this guy on Youtube, Screwattack and Gametrailer. I have to say, this guy is awesome!!!!!! He is one of the few people who reviews bad games for old systems. Yes you hear me, he review old games. Why would I watch that. Well, being a gamer myself, I love classic games. One thing, he is amazingly funny!!!!!! If you get his jokes and listen through his rants and his swearing, you’ll find it pretty enjoyable. I became a fan since I learned about Screwattack last year. I have to say, great stuff comes out of that site. If your a gamer, you should check it out.

This guy even have his own theme song. He already created his own fanbase worldwide. His been featured on Spike TV Gametrailer TV when they talked about Screwattack. He’s also been on TV and radio.

The Angry Video Game Nerd is portrayed by James D. Rolfe. The Nerd character is an ill-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from his loud New Jersey accent, excessive and inventive use of profanity, frequent displays of explicit gestures, and heavy consumption of beer, particularly Rolling Rock, to “soothe the pain.”

Well the show revolves around retro game reviews that involve acerbic rants against the particularly low-quality, 8-bit types of video games, usually, but not always, games featuring licensed characters. The series began as a feature on YouTube, and later joined ScrewAttack Entertainment, which would later have three of its features, including the AVGN, transferred to GameTrailers exclusively. The show was formerly known as The Angry Nintendo Nerd, a title that was abandoned to evade legal issues due to the Nintendo trademark, and because the show started reviewing games on other consoles. The series’ theme song was written by Kyle Justin with lyrics by both Justin and Rolfe.

This all began in 2004 where he post two reviews for the NES on Cinemassacre.com. In 2006, he start posting on Youtube. He reviews games on other platforms such as the Atari 2600, Super Nintendo, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Nintendo Virtual Boy, the Atari 5200, the Vectrex, the Intellivision and Colecovision systems, and the Sony PlayStation on one occasion. Along with reviewing games, some episodes have featured other video game-related items, such as the Power Glove, the U-Force and other NES accessories, the Sega CD, the Sega 32X, as well as movie reviews of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, The Wizard, and a tribute to Nintendo Power magazine. He also references video game culture in a reenactment of the retro console wars in one video. He later joined Screwattack and has since been employed by MTV Networks’ GameTrailers.com. His videos are now on Gametrailer only. He no longer posts on Youtube.
