Angry Video Game Nerd (2004)
Angry Video Game Nerd (2004)
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.

11x04 Game Boy Accessories

15 August, 2017 10:00 pm
The Nerd pays tribute to the Game Boy, the handheld console that outlasted the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and N64. And, much like those consoles, there was a boatload of needless accessories to go with it.

11x05 Treasure Master (NES)

20 September, 2017 10:00 pm
The Nerd enters a contest for whoever can beat Treasure Master will be awarded a cash prize. It's a crazy, topsy-turvy game that throws the Nerd for many loops. However, he forges on, focusing solely on that prize. His endurance will pay off - or will it?

11x09 Sonic 2006 Part 2

30 November, 2017 10:00 pm
The Nerd's got some unfinished business to attend to. When he reviewed Sonic 2006, he merely scratched the surface, there was plenty more horrors of redundancy and tedium to uncover in the undisputed worst Sonic the Hedgehog game of all time. If you thought what he'd already shown you was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.

11x10 Charlie's Angels (GameCube)

06 December, 2017 10:00 pm
The Nerd is "persuaded" to review the 2003 video game adaptation of the 2000 movie adaptation of Charlie's Angels. It's full of gratuitous T&A (mostly A) and very little game-play. After this, the Nerd will want to kick Charlie's ass for sending his Angels on THIS mission.

13 December, 2017 10:00 pm
