The Angry Video Game Nerd (or simply The Nerd) is an internet persona, played by James D. Rolfe. He is known for reviewing really bad video games from every system known to man. Every console has had bad games and the Nerd has reviewed many, starting in 2004 with his review of "Castlevania II: Simon's Quest" for the Nintendo Entertainment System. By 2006, the Nerd left the confines of YouTube and had created his own website, Cinemassacre.com. Over the years, the Nerd became a popular web celebrity and an epic battle with TGWTG.com's The Nostalgia Critic was born. Of course, the feud is satirical as both men are friends in real life and do not actually hate each other.
