I have followed every review of the Nostalgia Critic so far, but eventually stopped watching all the video reviews of the Angry Video Game Nerd. The series started in 2004, which predates YouTube. A live-action series predating YouTube is pretty much unheard of. I think it's the longest running Internet series ever, at least in terms of number of years. This was the original Internet review show. Even though people cover all sorts of mediums nowadays like cartoons and movies, video game reviews have always been popular.

James Rolfe plays the Nerd, who is angry to the point where it's fascinating to know how nice of a guy he is in real life. A lot of his jokes involve vulgarity, but he's extremely funny. It might be because video games could in fact be the medium that's the most frustrating. Think about it. It's not like you have to do anything manually to complete a movie, except work with a DVD. It really seems suit a video game critic would be the angriest.

It's just amazing the sheer number of franchises he's tackled. My favorite review of his is probably "Bible Games". I might not be able to associate with him that much as I don't really play video games. Well, I do play web games constantly. Maybe he could review those. It's an iconic web series that will no doubt last. ****
