James Rolfe / James D. Rolfe / Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) / Rex Viper and Cinemassacre / Screenwave - Now with not much grieving about a 41-year old man still making videos on YouTube. We're the balls on the dick.

[Michael Bluth]

A nice Father and Son collaboration.

To clarify, this was filmed about a year ago apparently.

such an odd way to film an interview. That style only works when they're both in the room.

I think I have found some footage of Bimmy being actually angry IRL

I would have chalked it up to him playing his character, but since Kieran who happens to be Bim's tard wrangler had to step in to tell the guy to fuck off I'm 100% certain that the anger was real

If the sideburn weirdo kept pestering james and mentioned balls on the dick I'm 100% certain Bim would've kicked a window or something

 

[Michael Bluth]

some of these faggot ass fan comments are ethier too deep into standom or they're paid shills

they're excited over this top 10.


edit: interesting with some of the blocked words they might have on the channel. I had a comment about the channel being at a stalemate that hasn't posted.

 

[Sicko Hunter]

This clip from Kid Icarus perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with modern AVGN. Painfully bad overacting, random yelling of lines, bizarre facial expressions and unfunny punchlines. This "bunghole" line at the very end is super cringe and the way he whispers "that's what its called" is so weird.

To make it more confusing, James says this to the guy while using his funny yelling voice. Or perhaps that is his genuinely angry voice but it sounds so funny that no one ever takes him seriously?




It would be funny if James finally has a mental break at one of these conventions and screams how video games are retarded wastes of time and everyone who plays them all the time is an asshole. I get the sense that that's boiling just beneath the surface.

In another time line Mike Matei is the AVGN and James is paid to film and edit episodes.

It's odd to me that it's all worked out this way.

It never would have worked with Mike as the AVGN. He would have taken it too seriously and would have came off as annoying, much in the same way he did when he took over the Cinemassacre channel during the movies production.

As fun as it is to laugh at Mike being a retard, there's no getting around the fact that he's a charisma vacuum. If he had any camera presence, he would have done AVGN solo; he wouldn't have needed James at all.

 

[BrunoMattei]

Yeah, Mike comes off more as a bargain bin angry reviewer and his shit would be pretty hard to watch. James had the right idea to create a character and use that as a proxy to get across his points and present them comedically.

What is the context of this video?

 

[Sicko Hunter]

Another reason why Mike would not have worked as the nerd is Mike was very self conscious in front of a camera. The idea of being in a video thousands of people were going to watch made him really nervous so he is almost always in costumes covering his face in the early AVGN episodes. He did not want to be the center of attention. He goes into more detail about his camera shyness in this video.

 

[Pew_Pew_Slash]

Good points all around. You can't deny that they each are doing what the other is better at. Mike seems to at least enjoy video games and James loves film (when he has time, which is never).

James doesn't seem to enjoy the hobby he's built a character around. Never truly has to me to be honest. Dude ran out of passion when he ran out of material he was familiar with.

"It's a game... made by Nintendo.... with kids in mind, where, in order to get your health up, you must consume an alcoholic beverage! And a LOT of it!"

Yes, and kids take communion at church too. It's not really that farfetched. Plus, there really wasn't much censorship of alcohol consumption in Japanese versions of many retro games. There was even a drunk enemy in Earthbound, and the American player's guide calls him a drunk.

IIRC the story was that Angry Nintendo Nerd was just one of countless random things James threw at the wall while he was making his random movies, and Mike especially liked it, so he encouraged him to do another one, and then a third one, so he'd have a trilogy.

I get the sense that James really did enjoy video games when he was a child, and then had fun playing party games with his friends in college, and much later enjoyed playing Breath of the Wild with his daughters. That's about it. Pretty normie ways to enjoy games, honestly, but it's his whole career, and he can't really ever escape them.

I wonder if James ever considered how he's in a similar position as so, so many artists. Like a musician who gets well known for one song, and they have to hold back contempt for that song, as it's their one and only moneymaker. Or better yet, a famous filmmaker who gets best known for one film, and no matter how much more he does in his life, his fans will always know him for that film.

 

[snort beg snort]

James is making good money with minimal effort. He gets to provide for his family and made a name for himself as a pioneer of dumb internet videos. He's basically a legend even tho his videos have sucked for awhile. I would hate to think he has a chip on his shoulder about AVGN. That sped is lucky he got as big as he did AND he got to do his big motion picture thing that very very very few people are able to do on that scale.

He sort of reminds me of the dude who played Trevor in GTA V and how he resents it's all he's known for, meanwhile the other leads celebrate that they were part of one of the biggest games of all time. Or maybe he doesn't feel that way at all idk but he doesn't seem to give a fuck about AVGN and hasn't for awhile.

Its AVGN that let's him to his vexed diaper thing or whatever and it's AVGN that allowed him to buy a nice big house for Bpril and his kids so that he could tend to them at 540 after watching woofman harrer films on his intendo mowden edition.

This is one of the most incoherent things I’ve ever read on the internet.

 

[Grog]

I didn't finish watching the FF6 video because I haven't played the game and he started spoiling the story towards the middle. For someone who has never played it wasn't an especially fun video, as I couldn't relate to anything he was saying and it was mostly recalling his* experience playing it for the first time.

* Or Mike's, or a slob's.

Look around more

 

[mlanguishi]

Ah, this sucks.

 

[CyrusHowler]

Damn that sucks. James clearly loved his cats a lot.

 

[GloriousRapeRabbit]

Ah, this sucks.
