The Nerd

The Angry Video Game Nerd (Also known as The Nerd) is the main character in The Angry Video Game Nerd series. Created and portrayed by James Rolfe, the Nerd is a foul-mouthed, retrogamer who reviews the 'games that suck ass' from his childhood from the Atari 2600 to modern consoles.

The Nerd created a lasting legacy on the internet, introducing the Angry Reviewing subgenre and helped kick start retro reviewing on YouTube. His rivial, The Nostalgia Critic, is also a great friend of his who has helped popularize the character through The Feud.

Appearance
The Nerd dresses as the typical nerd stereotype with glasses, a white shirt, pens in his shirt pockets and his shirt neatly buttoned.

Throughout the series, he's taken multiple other outfits a try such as in the Star Trek review, he dresses as Captain Kirk and in his Star Wars reviews, he dressed in a sliver Atari jacket. He's also equipped NES Accessories to his body to use as 'power-ups' when fighting an enemy too powerful for him to overcome.

Personality
The Nerd, as suggested, has anger issues and has destroyed games and game consoles out of pure rage. He's also an alcoholic, drinking Rolling Rock and sometimes even Yuengling. Though his anger has to come naturally and not forced (like other game reviewers), he has reviewed Mario 3, Battletoads and Nintendo Power, which he likes, and he also thinks fondly of himself. He often described in great detail a series of repulsive and often scatological acts which he claims he would rather endure than play the games he reviews.

Trivia

 * His condition was analyzed by Game Theories' MatPat who diagnosis him with Paranoid schizophrenia and Crohn's disease .
