The Angry Video Game Nerd2004Documentary · Comedy

The Angry Video Game Nerd is an adult web television series of comedic retrogaming video reviews created by and starring James Rolfe.

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.
