The Angry Video Game Nerd

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.

The Nerd is confused as to why there are so many goats inside the ark and the reason for Noah to be attacked by goats is a mystery."

"The Nerd concludes his CD-i review with the two remaining Zelda games. The first one is Link: The Faces of Evil which has all of the same problems as Wand of Gamelon had. While the final game the Nerd reviews is Zelda's Adventure, which he praises it for not having the same bad animation as the first two games and is now an over head view like the earlier Zelda games instead of a slide scroller game. However the game still suffers with an abundance of flaws such as poorly detailed backgrounds making it hard to know what is an opening and what isn't. The CD load time ..."

"It's the middle of winter at the Nerd's house, and to keep himself occupied from being cold is by reviewing Winter Games for the NES. The Nerd explains how the Winter Games for the Atari 2600 was fun, however the NES version is inferior due to it having only four winter Olympic game events and has a bad control scheme.

"The Nerd who appears only as an illustration is frustrated that the citizens of Gameville have all the good games, while he is stuck with the bad games.
