The Angry Video Game Nerd

The Angry Video Game Nerd (also simply referred to as "the Nerd") is the titular protagonist of the web series of the same name, portrayed by James Rolfe. He is a disgruntled video game fanatic who provides commentary on games he deems "shitty", and also reviews consoles of equally poor quality.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He has influenced several YouTube reviewers such as Nostalgia Critic, Angry Joe, Joueur du Grenier (English: "Attic Gamer"), ColoniaContraAtaca (Portuguese for "Colony Strikes Back"), Irate Gamer, and the list goes on.
 * 2) He cusses in the most creative way possible.
 * 3) The theme song of his show is awesome and fits him perfectly.
 * 4) He gives good reasons for the horrendous quality of the games he critiques.
 * 5) He has several iconic catchphrases, including (but not limited to) "What were they thinking?!", "ASS!", "Fuck this game, watch it go!", "I'd rather (insert over-the-top painful action here) than play this game!", etc.
 * 6) The many times he completely loses his temper are hilarious.
 * 7) He has a well-known rogues gallery consisting of pop culture characters like Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, the Joker, Bugs Bunny, etc.
 * 8) He is the owner of an adorable but badass black cat which he merely calls "Death Kitty". Said cat is actually James Rolfe's deceased cat, Boo.
 * 9) He has a legendary disdain for the infamous company, LJN.
 * 10) He destroys games (and sometimes consoles) in some pretty hilarious and/or awesome ways, like stomping on them, setting them on fire, or just merely defecating on them.
 * 11) Even though he looks just like your average nerd, he has proven to be quite strong and powerful, especially in his battles with his aforementioned rogues gallery.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes, he can be a bit too cruel, like pummeling Bugs Bunny the very moment he first meets him in person as well as beating up Aladdin after giving him Aladdin Double Decker games.
 * 2) He sometimes overuses profanity and toilet humor to the point that it's barely funny.
