This is the first review of 32X games, and the last as of now. Except, when we do it for AVGN, we sit there with a notepad and write down time codes for specific parts of the game where something funny stands out,” says Matei in regards to the James & Mike Mondays.

This is because Mike only appears behind the scenes between the Nerd's fictitious world and James Rolfe's real world. I don't like when they baby us.

Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie is an independent film based on the series. James Rolfe in-character as the Nerd in 2008. Mike: I definitely help him choose the games a lot of the time for the AVGN episodes. The AVGN reviews Nintendo Power magazines.

Motherfucker Mike was only supposed to be a character I played on Board James because I was a cheating bastard. Beginning in 2004, AVGN” is a comedic video game review series featuring Rolfe, acting as a hard-drinking, foul-mouthed retro gamer, takes extended critical looks at some of the worst games of the ‘80s and ‘90s.

During the review the Nerd is forced and threatened by Jason Voorhees to do a positive review of the game. 1 From there, the series became a cult success, and Rolfe began appearing as the character in various other media such as a feature-length film and video games, and many public appearances.

The French show Joueur du Grenier was based on Angry Video Game Nerd. However, contributor Mike Matei showed SEGA some love by way of a Game Gear video review. This feud appeared to be short lived or as some sort of ploy, as in a video Mike released a week after this drama involving some NES hacks , Joueur du Grenier makes a very short cameo in it.

I asked James if he wanted to make AVGN Game Glitches 2”, but he said that he wanted to get back to reviewing bad games, which is the true theme to the AVGN show. Whether James Rolfe knew it or not, the rise of The Nerd was a moment that changed gaming critique and entertainment forever".

James will not see the movie or review it because he wants to vote with Mike Matei his dollars. Matei is also the co-writer for The Angry Video Game Nerd (series) He has played many guest characters on the show. Most people only remember the terrible animated parts from those games, but if you ever get a chance to actually play the games themselves, they are godawful.
