‘Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie’ Comes To DVD

In 2014, James Rolfe, known online as the Angry Video Game Nerd, released a long-awaited feature-length film in which he brought his irritable character to the big screen. Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie drew a solid reception from among the Nerd’s fans, and now, those viewers a new way to acquire the film. Screenwave Media, the distributor of the AVGN movie, has made a DVD version of the film available on Amazon.

The DVD release joins a Blu-Ray option, which was released last year in time for the holiday season. The Blu-Ray sold well; according to Screenwave, it was the second-best selling Blu-Ray comedy shortly after its arrival. The DVD version (which at $19.99 retails for $5 less than the Blu-Ray) looks to add to the AVGN film’s success.

The Nerd’s episodic adventures are also available in DVD form. Eight video compilations can be purchased from the Screw Attack store

AVGN: The Movie, which arrived on Vimeo On Demand in September 2014, follows the Nerd as he heads to New Mexico to dig up abandoned copies of the infamous E.T. video game. Along the way, a miscommunication with government forces leads to an action-packed adventure. The film spent three years in production, with Rolfe and his team funding it through an Indiegogo campaign launched in October 2011.

In addition to his movie, Rolfe continues to release new videos on his Cinemassacre channel and website. The Nerd’s YouTube home has nearly 1.8 million subscribers and has tallied more than 650 million views across nine years of operation.
