Cinemassacre

“Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest (NES) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)” is the first video on the Cinemassacre channel. In the video, Rolfe rants about Castlevania II and reviews the game.

He started reviewing games for other consoles, so his character’s name was changed from “The Angry Nintendo Nerd” to “The Angry Video Game Nerd” to avoid trademark issues (e.g. Sega Genesis, Atari 2600). Rolfe attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia from 1999 to 2004, and it was there that he developed the core of his character. Rolfe then created a second video, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, which was intended to be the final installment in the series because it was the game he detested the most.

His videos were initially intended for personal use. On April 6, 2006, however, Mike Matei, a friend and collaborator of Rolfe’s, persuaded him to upload the videos to a YouTube channel he had set up and managed for him called “JamesNintendoNerd” (now known as Cinemassacre).

Rolfe’s character first came into the public eye on September 12, 2006, when his YouTube review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles went viral. His videos have received 30 million monthly views on ScrewAttack and GameTrailers, among other places.

After experiencing a voice break at the end of 2007, Rolfe halted the series’ production and postponed an appearance at MAGFest. He declared on March 17, 2010, that the constant writing, directing, and acting in the videos was causing him burnout and that the show would be taking a short break. Despite a May 2010 return date, an episode was made available on April 30.

A fictional conflict between Rolfe’s character and the Nostalgia Critic (played by Doug Walker) helped to further his fame. The Critic first launched a satirical assault, which is where it all started. Between 2008 and 2009, there were numerous episodes where the feud occurred. The two fictional characters are now close friends. Rolfe has contributed to some of the Critic’s subsequent videos, and Walker has informed his viewers of Rolfe’s projects.

Rolfe appeared as the Nerd in the “Piece of Me” music video parody of Britney Spears’ song “Piece of Meat” on cinevore.com.

According to Net Worth Spot, Rolfe is worth $1.38 million as of July 2022. There are roughly 191k views per day and 5.73 million views per month on the Cinemassacre YouTube channel. On average, YouTubers can make $3 to $7 for every thousand video views. According to Net Worth Spot, Cinemassacre makes $22.9k per month or $343.8k annually. If Cinemassacre makes the most money possible, advertising revenue could reach $619k per year.

Rolfe was born on July 10, 1980, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. South New Jersey was where he was raised. Sometime in the early to mid-1980s, his parents gave him an audio recorder for Christmas. Later, he acquired a camera and captured play-fighting between himself and his friends on camera.

Rolfe was involved in a car accident in 2004 when a utility trailer detached from its truck, sprang out onto the opposite side of the highway and struck him directly. Rolfe was not physically hurt during the collision, but his Saturn Ion, which he had just nine days earlier purchased, was completely destroyed.
