At Iron-Man 2008 we had a real cool opportunity to sit down and do something we haven't been able to do ever- sit down and actually talk with some of our features. If you've ever said "If I had just two minutes with The Nerd it would be soooo cool!" well now is your chance. What is he like.... REALLY.
The first time i haven't
The first time i haven't seen him angry. Nice interview Destin
I have
In his zelda cronologically confused thing, he starts out the episode out of character and not angry, he explains about why he made it and stuff.
This fantastic video leads
This fantastic video leads me to ask: will we ever get to see more footage of the Destin vs. James KI matches?
It'd be pretty cool to see
It'd be pretty cool to see that.
The matches James had with Jared in Street Fighter would be cool to see also.
AVGN X DESTIN
Yeah! I say show us those matches!
Angry Video game nerd X Angry Daily Destin (because Destin also swears a lot!)
Awesome
I've seen his documentary on YouTube. It's really inspiring for anyone who wants to get into film making. Nice tune throughout the vid by the way
I agree. His film
I agree. His film documentary was just pure amazing.
Clearly not 1D.
That tune was Flat Zone (Mr. Game & Watch's stage) in Super Smash Bros: Melee, in case you're wondering.
Clearly Craig (or whoever actually edited this video) handpicked this tune as an elaborate metaphor for James appearing to be a one-dimensional character, yet in truth, there's a lot more to him that meets the eye.
Clearly.
Very interesting
Thats a very interesting way to interpret the background music. If you hadn't said that, I probably would not have even though about it.
That Music
Hehe, I guess your right! I knew the toon but wouldnt have ever thought that.
If God gives you lemons, the you need to GET A NEW GOD!!!

james
he's not angry at all
I wish I'd get more into
I wish I'd get more into film like James. He is so calm and composed in this video, it's great to watch.
Wow, James Rolfe ftw!
Destin is a great interviewer. Moar please.
It was just great to see James Rolfe interviewed. Most of the time it is just him on a podcast. It was awesome to see him asked questions on a camera. Great watch. thanks.
Nice vid, Not a fan of the
Nice vid, Not a fan of the new video player.
I can't watch full screen, it puts the Ad in the middle of the screen instead of at the corner. And when you minimize it. The little ad button still remains...

you can easily watch videos
you can easily watch videos full screen. Just click the little icon that looks like a computer- real simple.
Clarification
What he means is that for some users, the ads don't scale like everything else does when viewing videos full-screen. So, instead of going across the bottom of the screen, the ads will pop up right in the middle, and when the "close" button is clicked, the ad button stays in the middle of the screen. It's watchable as long as you don't mind the ads being in the middle of the screen while you're trying to watch. I had the same problem with my PC at home last night, so I can vouch for it not being a one-off problem.
Cool
He seems to be a really laid back guy in person.
i think he has to be calm...
if he was as angry as in the show i dont think he could get as many episodes out or deal much of his work
agreed
also I highly doubt you would be able to have a normal conversation with him if he was that angry.
I think some people don't
I think some people don't realize that the AVGN is a character that James plays and isn't his real personality even if he thoughts about the games are true to what he thinks as a real person.
Honestly
When I first seen the guy on You Tube about a year ago, I really thought the dude was real person. I remember saying, wow, that's one cool ass nerd. He's still a cool ass nerd, but after visiting his Myspace, I realized he was a film maker, and the AVGN was a character.
lol
He's all apologizing for not being a total in-your-face, cussing jerk. aww.
~Smatty
heh
i'd like to be able to play a few rounds of brawl with james one day, that'd be fun
-----------------
I Challenge the ScrewAttack staff to Brawl matches
pm if this challenge is accepted or declined
if accepted add the brawl code with a date and time for the challenge... I will respond with my code

i love this guy i respect him for what he does
Humility Is Underrated
That was a really neat video interview with James (AKA The Nerd); it's nice to see that he's such a calm, mellow guy in real life. I respect him as a fellow artist and gamer alike. His coup de grace however, lies in his ability to portray such strong humility; a very admirable, essential and rare quality barely seen in today's world, especially within the art and online communities.
lol people who think he
lol people who think he would act the same in real life are stupid, im sorry they just are.
its like when i hear about people thinking characters from soaps (UK people will know what i mean if US people dont) are actually like that and thier lives are being filmed for TV.
anyway good to see abit of james rather than The Nerd.
US people are dumb too!
Oh, don't worry, plenty of people in the US whom are addicited to soaps truly believe the same.
I'd love to meet James personally... or the nerd, so he can take a diahreah dump in my ear.
------
I don't hate the PS3, I froze my butt off and coughed up $600 for one on the first day. I hate myself.
guess you're right
I don't see how anyone could live a life as angry as the nerd's. That person would probably die very young of a heart attack. But james is such a good actor and gets so into character that he is very believable. It seems very natural and if you didn't know it was all an act than i could see why you might think that could be who he really is.
Nice guy
I met James at the IMOG. He's one of the most nicest, respectable people I've ever met. His ability to transform into an angry cursing machine is nothing short of amazing. He loves his fans, and is passionate about what he does. I think it's safe to say he has succeeded at life.
James Rolfe is awesome!!
He's just a nice guy, very creative. I hope he gets far with his filmaking skills, it would be so cool to see a documentary or a film in the mainstream media and say: "You know, that guy used to do a pretty cool series on the 'net a few years ago..."
Oh, and if somebody can reach him or if he reads these comments at all, tell him that he has a lot of fans here in Chile (southamerica)
Great interview, Destin.
WO!
People find me a quiet person too!!!
wow
James is one awesome guy
Yeah, James has mentioned
Yeah, James has mentioned before that the AVGN is JUST a character.

THAT WAS GREAT
I alwayss knew the AVGN was just a character
but James sounds so Cool !
There are Games you might don't know
but that are still pretty damn Sweet...SWEET !
wow
1:17, epic fail...
Why? He said he likes Mario
Why? He said he likes Mario and Super Metroid. What's so fail about that?
the fail
The fail is in the game; Mario jump and land just next to a Goomba and die.
By the way, if someone thinks that James is like the angry character, this is a compliment, that means that James is so a great actor that people might believe he really is like that. Since the first video, it looks like a guy with his own personnality was making reviews; but a guy really angry and kind of shitlover.
Good work James!
When it comes right down to
When it comes right down to it, AVGN is just a character. And from what I've seen most people who do comedy or anything funny are ususally shy in nature but they feel they can really let loose when doing what they do. I think the same holds true here.
Great Interview
Great interview with the nerd, and it's the first time I ever seen him not angry.
2 minutes only? way too
2 minutes only?
way too short if you ask me.. would have seen it go a little longer
AVGN
James is the man! Great interview, Destin!

Don't worry James. We don't need you angry all the time.
He's a cool guy.
Sure, he's a gamer, but he describes himself more as a movie buff and that's what I am second to being a gamer.

It's so funny that roflcopters are shooting lolazers!

This is so cool! I wanna
This is so cool! I wanna play him so bad, wonder if i would beat him at KI ^^
WELL FINALLY
Man I've been waiting to see an interview of James Rolfe since 2007
Thanks for doing this!
Audio Interview.
If you're not dead-set on SEEING an interview and you're just interested in an interview in general, go ahead and hunt down the interview that TWiG (This Week in Geek) does on PodCast. I think that it's the last broadcast of 2007.
It's a bit longer, and more informative!
Fun fun.
