The one, the only, the man who made Internet reviewing a genre singlehandedly--the Angry Video Game Nerd. A bespectacled man in a white button-down shirt with a pocket protector, the Nerd sits in his basement and vents his impotent rage over terrible video games of days gone by. He has a perennial rivalry with [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]].
 
* [[Adult Child]]: A grown man who takes video games ''very'' [[Serious Business|seriously]].
Line 21:
** Seeing the LJN logo on a game cartridge has also caused him to snap.
** ''[[Goddamned Bats]]!''
** The Medusa Heads in ''Castlevania'' have reportedly given him a pathological hatred of wavy lines.
** Movie sequels that [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|don't follow a logical numbering system]].
** Games with '''[[Check Point Starvation|NO CONTINUES!?!?]]''' after you die. Turned [[Up to Eleven]] if the game combines this with [[One-Hit Kill]] or only having one life throughout the entire game.
Line 29:
** Loading times. His annoyance with them is most pronounced in the ''Superman'' (Commodore) and ''Zelda's Adventure'' reviews.
*** Also seen in the ''Batman Forever'' review, which ironically was a cartridge game.
{{quote| '''Nerd''': ...Whenever you access a new part of the game, it says "Hold On". Hold on for what? It has to fucking ''load''?!}}
** Overly cryptic puzzles, such as in [[MilonsMilon's Secret Castle]].
* [[Butt Monkey]]: When every popular fictional character, from [[Bugs Bunny]] and the [[The Wizard of Oz (Filmfilm)|Cowardly Lion]] to [[Friday the 13th (Filmfilm)|Jason Voorhees]] and [[Nightmare On Elm Street|Freddy Kreuger]], seems to love to mess with your life, you know you're the [[Butt Monkey]] of the century.
* [[Caustic Critic]]
* [[The Chew Toy]]
Line 38:
* [[Disco Dan]]: Rarely does the Nerd ever reference modern games. When he's presented with an [[Xbox 360]], he seems to hardly know what it is.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Due to the [[Hollywood Nerd]]-ness.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: The Nerd doesn't get serious during the ''[[Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 3]]'' review until the possessed game cartridge tells him [[The Exorcist (Film)|"Your mother sucks cocks in Hell!"]]
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Him Nerd:]] It has been suggested numerous times that the character's real name is simply ''The Nerd'' or the ''The Angry Videogame/Nintendo Nerd''. He usually introduce himself as such or as ''The fucking Nerd''. Even when he sees his future tombstone, it is engraved with the name ''AVGN'', and everytime he receives a package, the boxes are directed ''to AVGN''. The only exception to this is a scene in the Winter Games episode: while he complains about how he can't type more than four letters in the name entry screen, we can see he (unsusccesfully) tries to type the name ''[[James Rolfe|James]]''.
** In the Spider-man episode, Spider-man calls him James.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: He is disgusted by the overly graphic animation of the dog getting run over by a car in the Genesis version of Action 52
* [[Future Loser]]: Looks like he's stuck playing shitty games for the rest of his life. He even gets shocked when he learns that he will die from a heart attack while reviewing ''Boogie'' for the Wii at an old age, and decides to swear off playing shitty games after that incident, popping in Super Mario World and proclaiming that he will only play good games from that point onwards. Needless to say, [[Ignored Epiphany|it doesn't last very long]], and he simply says "fuck it" and decides that he prefers to [[Accentuate the Negative|bash shitty games anyway]].
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]
* [[Hollywood Nerd]]
* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]: Now and then.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Large Ham]]: Debatable. He can switch between being calm and composed or [[Unstoppable Rage|screaming frothing rants]] at the drop of a hat.
* [[Mad Scientist]]
Line 54:
* [[Specs of Awesome]]
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: <s>[[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]</s> ''[[Say My Name|CRITIIIIIIC!!]]''
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]
* [[Superpower Lottery]]
* [[Talks Like a Simile]]: and how. With many of the similes usually related to animal diarrhea.
* [[Trademark Favourite Food|Trademark Favourite Drink]]: Rolling Rock
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: When he has a bit of [[Perma -Stubble]] and slightly messy hair.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: He hates bats, and is terrified of E.T Atari.
Line 77:
 
 
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: In the ''[[Battletoads (Video Game)|Battletoads]]'' review.
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Basement Dweller]]: Sort of, he lives behind The Nerd's couch.
** Technically, it's a futon.
* [[Instrument of Murder]]
* [[The Lancer]]: Before Mike started making appearances in person, he was this to the Nerd in some aspects. Specifically, the [[Battle ToadsBattletoads]] video and the [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]] brawl.
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Perma -Stubble]]
* [[Left the Background Music On]]
* [[Warrior Poet]]: Occasionally proves himself capable in a fight.
Line 94:
 
* [[The Faceless]]: At first he only played The Nerd's masked enemies. While in [[Board James]] he shows his face, in AVGN, he doesn't (the only time he's unmasked is playing [[The Joker]], and thus with make-up).
* [[Not the Way It Is Meant Toto Be Played]]: He has his own series alongside James's videos that are dedicated to finding glitches [[Good Bad Bug|of]] [[Game Breaking Bug|all]] [[CheatVideo Game CodeCheats|kinds]] in old games.
* [[The Lancer]]: Acts as this to James when it comes to putting out videos and other media-related assistance.
* [[Jerkass]]: He's called ''Motherfucker'' Mike for a reason.
Line 120:
== Shitpickle (James Rolfe) ==
 
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: He's a pickle with shit on it. That's about it.
* [[Oh Crap]]: He appears in the Action52 review during the Ooze bit. "It's...it's..." "SHITPICKLE SHITPICKLE SHITPICKLE SHITPICKLE SHITPICKLE"
* [[Pokémon-Speak]]
Line 128:
* [[BFG]]: all over his body/chassis
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]
* [[The Gump]]: He was present for a bewildering array of historical events.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: "WATCH YOUR FUCKIN' LANGUAGE!!!"
Line 154:
 
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Justified, in that he's a cat.
{{quote| '''AVGN:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}3LVcvkLCUtU#t{{=}}8m53s "Yeah! That's the REAL Jaguar!"]}}
* [[Cool Pet]]: See above.
* [[Cute Kitten]]
