Here is a link to James Rolfe's website 'Cinemassacre' and also his YouTube page, if you have already looked at my link for the Nostalgia Critic you can probably see the similarities between these two, basically as the Nostalgia Critic focuses on reviewing horrifically bad films, James Rolfe takes the persona of the "Angry Video Game Nerd" who obviously reviews very bad games, the games are always old-fashioned games coming from old old Nintendo consoles and Atari consoles, you can really learn a great deal about video games in the AVGN videos however it is the humour that makes the videos so memorable, it is genuinely one of my favourite things to watch on the internet because the videos are so informative but so funny at the same time. On the 'Cinemassacre' website you will also see links to his "movie reviews" which admittedly don't have any humour in them but they are very informative and you can tell he knows a lot about films so you can definitely trust his opinion on whether a film is good or bad. You can also see links to the films he has made which aren't related to AVGN, this is the only part of the website I do not know much about as I haven't seen many of these videos. There is also a section called 'Board James' which is another persona he takes in which he plays old board games and teaches people about them, the 'Mr. Bucket' episode I particularly recommend as this episode is the only one which is more like it's own personal film and includes a proper narrative and still remains hilarious. There is also another section which I don't think I can say the name of but if you look at the website you will see what I'm talking about, this section does not have a lot of videos but these videos each highlight a problem James finds around life, these include problems with DVD and Blu-Ray cases which don't make any sense and hotel TV's which don't have RCA cables.

If you choose to check out the 'movie reviews' section you will immediately notice that almost all the films mentioned are horror films, this is because he is obviously a very large fan of horror films and knows practically everything about them and the history around them. The website can be confusing with this section because very often James makes videos which aren't really film reviews and are instead videos which are related to different things; the most recent of these is  the 'titans of terror' tournament in which he made videos which involved the 'great classic horror' actors battling it out to see who defeated the other the most times within films.

If you look around the website in certain areas you can also find links to videos that you probably wouldn't find on many other websites. Now since James has literally a humongous collection of not only old video games but also films (which I can guarantee you would not have heard) and even very old systems that play films like Beta Tapes and Laser disc's.

 It's very bizarre but if you give it a chance you will find it very entertaining, I have shown a few friends recently AVGN videos and they all loved them even though they knew nothing about video games they still said it was hilarious. Be aware that the YouTube page does not upload AVGN videos until much later due to rights issues with I believe "GameTrailers.com". However the videos are uploaded eventually within a certain amount of time depending on successful the video is with the audience.

Recently he has been making a AVGN film which he says he hopes to release within next year or so. He's using a website called 'IndieGoGo.com' in which anyone can help by donating any amount of money they want and in RETURN anyone who donates will gain something such as a copy of the script or a simply a signed photo of James as 'The Nerd'. The rewards people get are based on how much money you choose to donate. If you watch these videos and decide you like them and want to donate simply go on to the 'IndieGoGo' website and simply type in "Angry Video Game Nerd Movie" in the search engine and click on the first link.
