The Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) is an online character played by James Rolfe. In a series of YouTube videos, the Angry Video Game Nerd gives exaggerated "satirical angry game reviews," often using profanity. AVGN reviews retro video games and video game consoles. Rolfe started making the videos in as a joke in 2004, and began uploading them to YouTube in 2006. In February 2007, MTV's GameTrailers.com bought the rights to his show.YouTube Channel: Angry Video Game Nerd Videos
James Rolfe Quote
"Remember this is for comedy. Sure my gripes with the games stem from truth, but they are exaggerated. The whole point is to play bad. If you want to see somebody play good, go watch a speed run. If you take my reviews seriously, you are missing the whole point. Think for yourself. I may actually like some of the games I’m complaining about. I only focus on the negative. Some of my complaints may be legit and others far fetched."Cinemassacre: FAQ
