James Rolfe - the Man Behind the Nerd!

[josh808m]

OMG that chick interviewing him is freakin HOTTTTT!

[shrodu]

What does AVGN think about Fire Emblem?

[RhyanChapmanMedia]

whats with the crazy filters

[Nanovirus5995]

J. Kyle Smith.... you're going to die.

[skirm123]

Nerd.. Fuckin nerd.

[TheTick3ts]

Hail to the pail ale drinkinking avgn who drinks pail ale

[Abomdosnow]

To quote AVGN from his "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" review: What's with the crazy filters?

[CoolageBrothers]

LMFAO!!! This is HILARIOUS!

There's special effects every second! LOOOL!

CALM DOWN, the video is alright on its own without special effects! :D

[pavy415]

He better of got her number

[Monstercatch]

Apart from being really into gaming and drinking alone, he never really seemed like a stereotypical 'nerd' anyone else think that?

[coresnake0]

@Monstercatch Since when does drinking alone constitute a stereotypical nerd...

[SpaghettiToaster]

@Monstercatch

No, Nerd´s aren´t cool. He is.

[sayastra]

(innocently)Wasn't Little Miss gamer around before him? I know she doesn't curse, is usually happy with her games...but she reviewed old games.

[iFukuyama]

Surely the best editing in the history of editing.

[MDthornton83]

He da man!

[zoff666517]

He's awesome!

[dstanif]

Does she have a stuffy nose?

[WYTwrestling]

J. Kyle Smith GO TO HELL!!!

[TheWorldAtlus]

pale ale, thats what makes ale pale pale ale ale pale ale pale pale ale ale pale

[WebVManReturns]

Rolling Rock: It's a beer that tastes like.... beer.

[H3MaS11]

that bitch is flat and ugly... she probably drives like shit 2..lol

[Grandstra]

2:13 Hey, that's an European Super Nintendo pad.

[thomaswolfgang81]

i went to school with him

[greenflashbat]

@thomaswolfgang81 Was he popular at school?

[thomaswolfgang81]

@greenflashbat you bet he was. he always played nintendo and drew pictures into a school magazine which i believe i still have. have to find it and scan the pages. i still talk to his other friends. wish he would contact me haven't talked to him in years. actually haven't heard or seen him since june 1995

[greenflashbat]

@thomaswolfgang81 Thats a long time, well hope you get in contact soon, cheers

[TheAwesomefroggy]

@thomaswolfgang81 Were u 2 friends?

[thomaswolfgang81]

@TheAwesomefroggy yes we went to the same school together and still talk to two of his others friends. I remember him playing nintendo in school at recess or at lunch. he remembers me i wish i could get in contact with him. i last saw him at school in 1995 in NJ.

[TheAwesomefroggy]

@thomaswolfgang81 well yer lucky!!!!

[lurzax]

Did james beard getting heavy ? 0_0

[hampusfasth]

What's with the crazy filters?!

[kitek1999]

@hampusfasth The Irony Is stunning.

[Ifreehat20I]

lay off that editing, instead of keeping interest its kinda annoying 

[yerzh375]

Rolling Rock should be renamed to AVGN-beer

[Shoobedooby]

@yerzh375 YA NERD BEER HUAH!!!!

[mastermantrox]

Nice interview but the editing is definitely too heavy and unnecessary - good luck for the future ;]

[victorchanux]

PLAY THOSE SHITTY GAMES THAT SUCK ASS!!!

[Sanders1521]

watch his series and it will make want to play all the old style video games

[Darkblender5]

Ok AVGN and TFS need to team up to make the worlds funniest video my bad lol

[Darkblender5]

Ok AVGN and TFS need to team up to make the worlds funniest video game

[TheAquafunk]

Rolling Rock is called a Pale Lager...

[Draconic]

i'll start drinking rolling rock haha

[wtfcool21]

palealepalealealepalepale



[KelanDWood]

I personally liked the editing. The only parts I didn't like was when it changed to a different colour like the moment when it's red to recreate the feel of the virtual boy console it's just a minor nitpick that annoys me personally but it's not poorly done. It may come off as a bit pretentious when all this stuff pops onto the screen but I like it loads crap stuff going on it's entertaining anyone heard of the expression "the more the merrier" well it applies to this in my opinion

[TheUltimateBeing01]

Is he really going to star in a movie?

[frozenguts77]

@TheUltimateBeing01 yes he is he is making his own movie

[1337BananaL33TVostok]

chill out with the special effects ok?

[TheWorldAtlus]

@1337BananaL33TVostok seriously

[lukeanatr]

"....seems a bit overdone....", It's fucking mental, not a bit oerdone!

[blackseedsofvengance]

beer rant ftw

[superdave700]

Nice interview with James but the effects were getting on my nerves toward the end. The video was nice but good lord, ease up on the visual effects.

[AaronWii1]

Yeah but no one quite made those retro game reviews as memorable as he does

[Ryz999]

I liked the bit where he said pale ale.

[frenchpet]

lol thats a lie there were tons of retro game reviewers. Seanbaby etc etc

[thesocalledsegasonic]

he seems bored.

No offense.

[derallter]

Lol @ the ale part.

[supercrapnstuff11]

thanks to James, i know of Neo-Geo, Phillips CDI, Turbographix 16, sega 32x, sega cd and also Sega Genesis is more than a name now

Rofl!

[damprumpan]

my favorite is also SNES.

for the most part i play it on emulator but(t) i have one. i have 7 games and i cant play 4 of them D:

2 of them because theyre american and the other 2 because my controller is broken (mah brother killed the other one).

[GustavKunoe]

pale ale

[TwinDragons310]

Too flashy.

[NesGamer105]

AVGN for president!

[tbz02]

@NesGamer105 He's got my vote!!!!!!

[BBCrocksXM8]

@NesGamer105 no, think a little. if he is president he won't be able to make as many videos

[LiquidArmProduction]

The editors of plumbers don't were ties edited this

[Wbjpen]

Who filmed and edited this, a fuckin monkey?

[erikals2]

@Wbjpen I think so. Probably a monkey with no balls to tell you 'oh i fucked up editing so here it goes youtube i want 100000 views'

[torerik1234]

My favorite concole is Super Nintendo too. Screw the new concoles...!

[Arkanii1]

@torerik1234 Screw you, that is evolution and PS3 or 360 are great consoles! That is the same like you would say, i like monkeys but screw humans.. WTF dude:D

[torerik1234]

@Arkanii1 Well I guess you like the modern ones. No need to be rude to me.

[Arkanii1]

@torerik1234 Ok i am sorry, have a good time;)

[xboxfan12345]

@torerik1234 my favorite too

[Datleco]

They didn't really ask that many good and informative questions that a lot of fans would like to hear be asked so everyone can catch a better grasp in what he does behind the scenes. I mean they did ask a few good questions, but it wasn't enough, and buying the DVD won't help much either because now we need a Q&A which doesn't help much because they're so far in between.

[DavySigfusson]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever

The only reason why you say stupid shit like this is because you don't know him.... you have Obviously never talked to him or ever seen any of his work outside of AVGN ... he's a really nice guy and the fact that you are the one calling him a douche only goes to show how much of a Fucking Prick you are!

[shawnio]

not one tight shot of james, videographer fail

[ticosexy22]

The chinese girl is hot

[PubliusAfricanus]

@ticosexy22

Yes. More of her please.

[mossberg451]

yea he was the first to do it and i love rolling rock beer

[AncientGamer1]

Roll n' Rock is a pale ale, but it's not pale, but other pale ales which are pale ales are not pale.

[sonicrulz101]

@AncientGamer1 um...

[spyfreakm16]

@AncientGamer1 in a way, thats a tongue twister.

[minicinemassacre]

that explains why there are hardly any SNES reviews by the angry video game nerd

[zeldafanful]

1:35

A lesson learned,IRATE GAMER!!!!

[NoBrianNoGain]

Go Nerd!

[bryoneill11]

The only thing that I like about this video was Avgn shirt... Btw, Why dont you ask him how to edit a video?

[pr0npwn3rer]

@VanillaFejz roflmfao! i totally agree, before reading the comments, i was thinking exactly that 2 min into this interview..

[puffykilled2pac]

Pale ales are pale but if an ale is pale and but not pale will it pale compared to a pale that is pale

[IAMERRORLAMF]

@puffykilled2pac Rolling rock is actually not a pale ale it is a Macro Lager. A pale ale would be something like Southern Tier IPA and yes Pale Ales are not pale hah. its a bit confusing.

[RDmLabel]

"What game has not made you angry?"

The fuck kind of question was that.

[sillymonkey829]

I'd LOVE to get drunk with James.

[XanaTarantula]

Way to exploit my fucking ADD with unwanted edits you derp.

[RDmLabel]

@XanaTarantula LOL that made my day

[thewrestilingfan83]

can some one help me i've been searching for the avgn theme but the one with different lyrics so if some one could point me in its direction that would be nice

[VanillaFejz]

whats up with the fucking overlays! ? it's like a 5 year old kid got windows movie maker for christmas.

[MASSRCOR]

ROLLING ROCK! I had to buy some after seeing AVGN downing soo much of it. It's pretty good.

[nintendopet114]

@mathu516 how was it

[freshdizzle9000]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever douche ass vagina 

[cheat12code]

Ah, fucks sake.

Dont listen to "SkateboardsRule4Ever"'s comments, he's just a pre-pube kiddy troll irate gamer fan with no friends. ;)

[junomatekr]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever I hope your penis and balls get bitten off by a swarm of flesh-eating fireants, you asinine hater. Or, if you're a female, I hope the ants climb up into your ice cold vag and eat you away from the inside out!

[junomatekr]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever I hope your penis and balls get bitten off by a swarm of flesh-eating fireants, you asinine hater.

[Sonicfan3841]

@sobeAdam Do you like/hate Irate Gamer?

[12NiBer12]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever i hope he kicks the shit out of u, what's wrong with u?

[thedragonb0y]

Okay series somebody had WAAAAAAY too much fun with their Aftereffects.

[skatejam7]

I think James Rolfe would be angry at the way this video has been edited.

[LolCaramelz]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever

I don't know who Craig is.

I'm a fan of his videos, not his personal life. Sorry.

[superfuzz1219]

idk y i think the girl's pretty hot but avgn is awesome as all hell

[halonarutofan444]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever Yeah ;) haha i know the name sucks but i made it a long time ago

[KATANANINJA]

Im going to get some Rolling Rock now! lmao

[0mgwtfbbq21]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever i hope your family dies a slow and painful death by a mad man cutting all your limbs then making you eat them then mutilate you and burn you

[TabooMasterWatcher]

Its nice that he makes lot of videos and the overlays annoys me too ><"

[gamezombieutube]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever Completely Necessary

[XxTSUNAMISNIPERxX]

@gamezombieutube he will die,but he has more continues

[LolCaramelz]

What does he do for income?

Is his income completely reliant on Google AdSense

[doogrisa]

@LolCaramelz he also gets money from gametrailers,spike and from all the merchandise he sells.

[PnTNecrosis]

James is GOD. 'nuff said.

[jtomally9681]

Youtubers like "SkateBoardsRule4Ever" need to leave youtube because they are the ones who make even the internet hard to find stuff good to watch. I'm not even going to get into TV.

[Clammysosa]

where can i find that avgn trace type song playing in the background it sounds sick haha

[krepor11]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever U SUCK FAGGOT MY BOY JAMES IS HILARIOUS AND THEN SOME I FEEL LIKE IVE KNOWN THE GUY MY WHOLE LIFE

[sobeAdam]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever 0___0 really? Why? What did he ever do to you?

What could he have possibly done that was so horrible to make you think that?

[whaowman]

Is that a S-GUN logo from Contra? Holy shit, awesome t-shirt!

[africanchina1]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever

Mr. Hawk is good...................... IN VERT! but mullen almost "created' the sport with his own hands, or should i say feet =P... at least he did in street

[africanchina1]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever yeah! he rocks.... do u know Mike Mo, P-Rod, Chris Haslam, PJ Ladd, Sean Malto....?

[madnutcase84]

[PirahnaProductions]

[africanchina1]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever Why do u want him to die, Eric Koston???

[passwordy100]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever say that about chris crocker

[AllKindMusicUploader]

Was the editor on crack?

[madnutcase84]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever AVGN is gonna kill u with power glove

[TheDoopliss2]

@SkateBoardsRule4Ever Why? WTF?

[EdRulez2306]

james fuckin rolling rock xD

[MegaAstroFan18]

Rather than asking about games that don't make him angry I'm more curious to see which games genuinely frustrate him and which ones he's just acting.

[xDanielx2016]

I thought InecomCompany (aka Classic Game Room) did reviews on classic games first?

[ygb500000]

@xDanielx2016 But he doesnt do it they same style like James does

[JohnCarta2000]

56 ppl are chodes...

[medog2020]

@JohnCarta2000 You're one of them.

[JohnCarta2000]

@medog2020 acutally im not douche...

[TheRealSuperSonic125]

Pale ales that are pale are not pale....?

[MustyMarkus1]

I think it's hard to belive that he drinks! I hope it's just water!

[NotGood1024]

The editor is a master troll.

[NZYE]

@NotGood1024 avgn would be like: "what is he thinking with all those wierd views and colours."

[mr207]

good interview, but fuck, what the fuck was this asshole who edited it doing? what, did he think it wasnt interesting enough so he said "I know, I'll add so many effects that it'll look like your tripping off acid while your watching this interview"

[kalinga01]

jessica frasher is kinda cute :D

[Wrash16]

Dear J. Kyle Smith... FUCK YOU!!!!

[razorthrash]

AVGN is hilarious! Thanks for posting this GameZombie. I always wondered about AVGN's roots and how they got started.

[jord0110]

Dude!!! That ending freakin scared the fuckballs outta me man!!!!

[vaccarovj]

3:07 That ending scared the living crap shit fuckballs out of me

[cameramagicman47]

the end scared the fuck outta me!!!

[RickhatesScott]

The overlays and effects of this video annoy me.

[gamezombieutube]

@RickhatesScott We will work on this in the future thanks for the feedback!

[halonarutofan444]

@gamezombieutube yeah seriously . it sucks

[enemY1990]

@gamezombieutube its not too bad of editing itself, but it seems a bit overdone & out of place here and there

[gamezombieutube]

@enemY1990 Thanks for your honesty. To return the favor, I wanted to tell you that the GameZombie staff actually had a viewing party to review samplings of our catalog. This video and about 30 others were included with that. At the end of each video, people gave their honest feedback towards what they felt. It was fairly common to hear that a lot of our past content felt overproduced, so we've continued with that in mind. I think the videos we're releasing this year should be better about that!

[Munch180]

@gamezombieutube its nice to see that a game channel gives a shit about what people think :D

[mostliberal]

When I was 4 or 5 Super Mario World was one of my favorite things in the world.

[SebLeCaribou]

The effects in the video are just soooo annoying...I wish it was just the interview.

[Assiman]

@SebLeCaribou

Haha, it's like the old school mtv

[juliusyeung0330]

how do people know that he's married lol?

[logstrain]

@juliusyeung0330 he is married, he has talked about his wife on cinemassacre and on the making of the nostalgia critic vs the nerd

also you can see his ring on the NES collection video

[doogrisa]

@juliusyeung0330 you must be a total noob James Rolfe fan if you didnt know that he is married. he has had a wife since 2007.

[Broezzz]

@juliusyeung0330 in the behind the scenes of the final battle, Nostalgia Critic says that no'one could tie a tie so he had to let James' wife do it

[DairDubh]

I never knew James was beer-literate.

Anyway, he's right. What Yanks call pale ale is usually english light bitter or pale lager. I'm a Northern Porter fan myself.

[WPH15]

@DairDubh Really, who gives a shit? Same thing, different names. And I take offense to the term Yanks referring to the entire US populace, seeing as how only one section of the country (the North) are actually considered Yankees. Don't get mad or anything, it's just being from the Southern part of the US, it's annoying when we get called that.

[DairDubh]

@WPH15

Perhaps General Sherman should have smacked you rebel bitches up a bit harder.

[WPH15]

@DairDubh Perhaps General Washington should have smacked you British bitches harder. Go drink some tea and butter a crumpet, prick. And get better dental care.

[DairDubh]

@WPH15

lol. I'm just saying, calling bitter, ale and lager the same only with different names is inexcusable stupidity.

And I'm Irish. :3

[WPH15]

@DairDubh Oh. Wow, I didn't know the Irish called us that too.

[FunSunGrl]

@Revieweverything100 i found out from this and another video. just search james rolfe interview. if you look at the uploader comments you'll see me

[supaflystrikes]

Need that shirt.

[FreshAnimeEpisodes]

bad editing.looks like a 3yr old did it......

[strikerk]

I've known he was married for years. He's got the ring on~ attention to details guys. lol

[4LackOfaBetterNam3]

SMW is wayyyyy to easy.

[FunSunGrl]

he's married?! omg i didnt know

[gamezombieutube]

@FunSunGrl I wouldn't have guessed it either, but it's cool that he found someone that lets him do his own thing!

[FunSunGrl]

@gamezombieutube true, true.

[Aaronthereal1]

@gamezombieutube I found out he was married in the nostalgia critic fight in the making video or something..

[zamardii12]

@gamezombieutube Where did you find that out? I haven't read that anywhere.

[jtomally9681]

@gamezombieutube I wish it was that simple. I keep getting played so I just said fuck it all. I'll stay single.

[Revieweverything100]

@FunSunGrl how do you know he's married?

[zolo1243]

@Revieweverything100

It says so on his Myspace profile :)
