BACK TO CINEMASSACRE | BACK TO AVGN

 

 

 

 

 

6/30/08
I made a live appearance at Digital Press game store in Clifton, NJ. The place was packed! Signed autographs, played a game tournament, picked up some games... everything went over very well. See more pictures.

Also, an epic battle took place in the parking lot with a live audience:
AVGN VS. NOSTALGIA CRITIC VS. CAPTAIN S
See the video on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com


Stay tuned for the followups on cinemassacre.

I appeared on G4's Attack of the Show. Check it out:

The new Nerd video should be coming up very soon, literally any time now. If it was up to me, they would be up every 2 weeks on schedule, but I don't have much control over when they get released, so just hang in there.

Texas trip
The Iron Man of Gaming event went well. I signed a ton of autographs, took pictures with fans, did a Q&A, and auctioned some of my AVGN props for charity, for the Get Well Gamers Foundation.
The props were: a Nerd shirt, one of several worn in the videos, the bald skin cap worn as Uncle Fester in my Fester's Quest video, and the beard worn as the old Nerd of the future in the Christmas Carol video. I would've brought more, but couldn't fit much in my luggage.

Next appearance, this saturday!
at Digital Press, video game store,
387 Piaget Ave,
Clifton, NJ 07011

If you want me to autograph something, you can bring it. You can get pictures with me. Whatever, we're just hanging out. I'll be playing some good ol' gaming action with PBC Productions at 6pm. You can arrive whenever you'd like, I THINK I'll be there between 2pm and 8pm.

AVGN action figures, a proposition
It's also been brought to my attention, a hilarious article on Figures.com, proposing the idea of AVGN action figures. Great ideas, I'm all for it!

Nintendo's front page?
I've also appeared on the front page of Nintendo.com! (Norwegian) It's a survey. English translation: "Have you ever played any of the games the avgn has reviewed?''

A really nice article
about me just came to my attention. Read it here.

This reminds me, I plan to respond to some of my interview requests by the end of the summer. I have a ton of interview requests saved in my inbox dating as far back to January. I just got real overwhelmed and was too busy to schedule anything. Mostly I've just been doing text-based interviews since I can do them at my leisure. But basically I just wanted to say it's great that so many websites / radio shows want to talk to me, but I've just been too busy. So if you've been waiting, I apologize, and if you think I may not be interested, I'm just taking an extremely long time to get back to you.

Rare college clip (2003).
* LINK FIXED *

James Rolfe Introduces Bootsy Spankins, P.I.

This is a rare clip from my college days (dated 2003) giving an introduction to a musical performance by Bootsy Spankins P.I. What's real funny is that Bootsy himself posted this clip, but didn't include the performance, though it's the most epic prolonged introduction ever since the unveiling of Super Mario Bros 3 in the movie The Wizard. And there was also a lot of beer being consumed.

I'm on IMDB!

Somewhat recently, I've been added to the Internet Movie Database. The page still needs a lot of development, but it's great to have made it on there.

6/13/08
Just a reminder:

I will be appearing at the Grapevine Convention Center near Dallas, Texas at the Iron Man of Gaming event between June 19-21.

6/12/08
My long awaited response to the
NOSTALGIA CRITIC!

Previously seen, the Nostalgia Critic calls out the Angry Video Game Nerd for battle of supremacy on the internet. After a series of rants, the AVGN finally makes his comeback! It's all in good fun, if you wanna see what it's about, go to ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com.

6/11/08
New AVGN video!
STAR TREK

A little later than expected, but it's still Wednesday and technically not late. It's funny to note that this is a video that's been delayed longer than any AVGN video to date. The gameplay portion of the NES game was recorded back in the summer of 2006. You can even see a clip in the intro to the Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu video.



For some reason, there's no Quicktime or Windows link yet, so watch it in Flash for now.

Shit Pickle Monopoly!

Thanks again Dan

THE DEAL WITH THE FAN ART

As you probably know, I get an overwhelming amount of AVGN fan art sent to me on a daily basis. I try to update it once a month, but still I can't keep up with it.

So here's the deal. ScrewAttack.com staff are taking care of it. If you want to send fan art, send to NerdFan@ScrewAttack.com where it can be viewed at
http://screwattack.com/AVGN/FanArt
.

But if you'd like ME to see it and possibly include it in the selected gallery, you may send me a copy at TheCinemassacre@yahoo.com. But due to high volume of email, just please don't expect a response. I appreciate all the fan effort, it's truly amazing, but sorry I can't answer all your emails.

OF COURSE...

I hold off on mentioning that the merchandise page is down, but finally when I do, it's up again! Well, that means you can now once again...

...Buy the AVGN DVD Vol 1

(All the videos from 2004-2006, including bonus material)
Vol 2. coming soon... later.... sometime. Right now, my priority is cranking out the current videos. But hopefully soon, I'll be able to sit down and get that bastard ready.

...and you can buy the new basic shirt
(black or white)

FRONT = "He's gonna take you back to the past"
BACK = AVGN logo

AVGN DVD & MERCHANDISE???
For a while now, I've been getting an overwhelming amount of email asking where my DVD and T-shirts have gone. ScrewAttack went through a site revision and are working on updating their merch page. It's just taken way longer than expected, so hang in there.
