''Angry Video Game Nerd'' (abbreviated as ''AVGN'', and formerly known as ''Angry Nintendo Nerd'') is an American comedy retrogaming web series, created by and starring James Rolfe. The series centers on Rolfe's character, "The Nerd", a short-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic who delivers commentary and sketches on retro video games he considers to be of poor quality. The show would later encompass reviews of gaming consoles, peripherals, and short lectures about video game history and culture. A starting independent filmmaker, Rolfe's earliest videos of the Nerd character was intended as a joke privately shown to his friends.〔 With collaboration from his friend Mike Matei, Rolfe put the ''Angry Nintendo Nerd'' videos on his website, Cinemassacre.com, in 2004. In 2006, Matei persuaded Rolfe to put his work on YouTube, where it went viral. In 2007, the series became a program on ScrewAttack and GameTrailers, where it was renamed ''Angry Video Game Nerd'' to prevent trademark issues with Nintendo, and to allow Rolfe to also review games from non-Nintendo consoles. ''Angry Video Game Nerd'' was a success and has gained a cult following, as well as the character appearing in various other media such as a feature-length film, various video games, and public appearances. Considered as one of the pioneering internet reviewers in its history, the Nerd was highly influential in bringing online video reviews to the mainstream public. ==Premise== (詳細はMystery Science Theater 3000''.〔 The Nerd plays the game while talking about its various problems, technicalities and imperfection, mixed mostly with profanity and bad language volition, in an effort to warn people against playing the game, and sometimes with a short lecture about the gaming era's history. Dressed up as a stereotypical nerd in his basement, the Nerd reviews the game with his trademark eyeglasses and white collared shirt with a pocket full of pens, high khaki pants and white socks and loafers, while sometimes being bombarded by guest characters from video games and popular culture as well. These guests often provide additional commentary on the games, mock the Nerd's anguish, and act as parodies of the characters from which they had been derived. In response to them and to the games, the Nerd derives comic appeal from excessive and surrealistic use of fantasy scenarios, anger, and consumption of Rolling Rock while reviewing video games.〔 His anger and profanity over these bad games would sometimes climax in him destroying whole game cartridges, or defecating, burning and sometimes even crushing entire video game consoles.〔 In many cases, the Nerd would dress up as other popular characters while reviewing their games, such as Batman. Other characters in the show include Shit Pickle (an earlier character created by Rolfe), Guitar Guy (who made the AVGN theme and played by Kyle Justin), the Game Glitch Gremlin, Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 B.C. Version 4.0 Beta, and an assortment of others, while also the occasional guest appearance by other video game reviewers such as Pat the NES Punk. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angry Video Game Nerd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
