Viewers are treated to cameos from other popular online and cult personalities, subtle homages to classic sci-fi and action films, and even a few well-timed pop culture references. And as much as it’s about games, Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie is also about movies – a road trip comedy in the vein of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure – that takes many of the medium’s most common clichés and lovingly recreates or subverts them. The movie if anything, is a valentine to Rolfe’s creation and his loyal viewers world-wide, celebrating the worst in gaming culture. Also, on the hunt is General Dark Onward (Stephen Mendel), a crazed military leader who believes they are a threat to national security, and demands their capture. Helping out is Mandi (Sarah Glendening), an employee of the game company responsible for Eee Tee 2, sent on a mission to persuade The Nerd into reviewing the game to help boost sales.
With the help of his friend Cooper (Jeremy Suarez), The Nerd must overcome his phobia of the worst game ever made and travel to Alamogordo New Mexico to prove that the infamous landfill story connected to the game is all but a myth. cartridges, the AVGN discovers that an evil corporation is about to release a sequel to E.T., (spelled Eee Tee here to avoid lawsuits). Taking place in and around the Nevada desert near the real-life burial site of thousands of unused E.T. Over the years, his series became more elaborate and ambitious, incorporating skits, new characters and story lines, and now, a decade later, he has his own movie which sees him go up against Atari’s E.T., widely regarded as the worst video game ever made.Īngry Video Game Nerd: The Movie isn’t short on plot, covering the existence of alien life, and a massive government conspiracy - it turns out that the screen design of E.T. Rolfe might just be the world’s angriest, crudest retro-gamer but he’s also a man who’s built an empire in his basement, and truth be told, it isn’t his gimmick that has people going back for more – Rolfe actually provides insightful commentary and some of the best game reviews, even if screaming into a single camera. There’s a lot of rage, beer drinking, explosions, cursing, and toilet humor – but excessive profanity aside, just about every major online game review show today, owes a little something to AVGN. Rolfe’s foul-mouthed, hard-drinking online personality has turned him into a cult star, building a fan base interested in watching, but not necessarily playing, terrible 8-bit video games from the past.
Created by James Rolfe, the show became an internet sensation over the years amassing millions of subscribers and countless imitators.
For the uninitiated, The Angry Video Game Nerd started as a small independent Youtube series of surrealistic sketch comedy.
