Angry Video Game Nerd



"If I were the Angry Video Game Nerd, then I wish I'd rather have a buffalo to take a diarrhea on my ear and/or eat a road-skilled skunk and down it with something fluid like water, milk or orange juice. He's one of the angriest gamers on the planet, and as a character of one of my favorite shows, he warned us of all the horrible games before the war came along. Now he knew that the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony is gonna be much worse than Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Desert Bus, Big Rigs, Hong Kong 97, E.T. (on the Atari 2600), the R-Zone, Dark Castle, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Superman 64, Action 52, and even most LJN games. Was he framed for stealing the Nostalgia Critic's DVDs?"

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Nerd

The Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN for short, formerly theAngry Nintendo Nerd, often abbreviated as simply Nerd) is the title character and main protagonist of the Angry Video Game Nerd web series, portrayed and created by James Rolfe.

In most episodes he reviews a different variety of poorly made video games, he does this by complaining and overreacting while often shouting and swearing at the graphics, controls, difficulty, music, quality, or gameplay.

Since episode 25 of the Board James series, many viewers believe that the AVGN and Board James character are the same person, however, James Rolfe has said that he sees the two characters as separate existences rather than Board James' split personality. A possible explanation could be that Board James are hallucinating that he is the Nerd.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he was first appeared as survived in during the USRAC War after his being framed for stole Nostalgia Critic's DVDs. During the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony, he might not attend there, and he would choose to attend the Ponyville Conference, stating that the ceremony is made possible by the Belkan Grey Men, the so-called "LJN of Strangereal."
