- Rolfe is currently in the process of filming a full length feature film in which he reviews E.T.: the Extra Terrestrial, considered by many to be the worst video game of all time. The Nerd does not limit himself to games, but has also reviewed consoles and accessories as well.
- The Angry Video Game Nerd (originally called the Angry Nintendo Nerd) is an independent series on the Internet consisting of reviews by James Rolfe about his experience with bad video games.

- The Angry Video Game Nerd (1980s? - March 10, 2009), real name James Rolfe, is a recurring character in the series. A member of the Network, the Angry Video Game Nerd is hired to help construct the King's portal to the Ark. He is later killed by the Arbiter aboard the station.
- James Rolfe is the Angry Video Game Nerd, formerly Angry Nintendo Nerd before he stopped focusing on just the NES (and realized he couldn't sell T-shirts with someone else's trademark on them), a misanthropic, foul-mouthed, chronically ill-tempered gaming geek with a predilection for Rolling Rock beer who plays weird, old, and, more often than not, Nintendo Hard games, some of them with the worst Fake Difficulty imaginable. We're talking truly terrible here. Epic Snark Bait. "The Nerd" holds a specific torch of hate towards licensed games, especially ones published by LJN Toys, which he sees as manipulating hopeful and oblivious kids into buying complete trash.
- In contrast to the character he portrays, James is actually a humble, shy, and down-to-earth gent in real life. Originally, he created the "Angry Nintendo Nerd" character as a joke amongst his friends in college, and only reviewed NES games. After his original two reviews became popular via YouTube, he changed his character's name to "Angry Video Game Nerd" to avoid copyright troubles with Nintendo and expand the amount of consoles he could review for. AVGN had a massive impact on the YouTube community, and inspired a wave of cheap imitation Angry Internet ReviewersTM that exploded in the late 2000s.
- 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 Hyrule Castle. The show was formerly known as The Angry Nintendo Nerd, a title that was abandoned to avoid legal issues due to the Nintendo trademark, and because the show started reviewing games on other consoles.
- 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, formerly known as The Angry Nintendo Nerd, was renamed because the show started reviewing games on other consoles, and also to prevent any trademark issues with Nintendo. He has also reviewed every Godzilla movie, including the 1998 film in a chain of videos called the Godzillathon. The reviews can be seen here.
