ADD

He mentions he has ADD in his McDonald's Kids Show/Review sounding serious enough for me to ask the question if there has been an official statement about that. Thanks. 77.183.120.33 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

An opinion

As a common Wikipedia viewer, well I don't do much to contribute for various reasons but I strongly believe that this page should be simplified. What I mean? Make it much smaller. I really am a fan of Angry Nintendo Nerd as I have watched nearly all episodes, but I don't think he deserves this size of attention. Also, in each game he has reviewed he is mentioned, a thing which I think is wrong. To sum it up, the page should be there, but it should have been smaller. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.1.128.155 (talk) 13:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

If we do that, an overzealous administrator will delete this article for not having enough content. Condensing this article is a dangerous idea. 75.66.233.162 (talk) 03:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Why do the admins hate him so much?

Episode list

I think we should make a separate page for the list of episodes, the current one just clutters up the article. -ZFGokuSSJ1 (talk) 19:56, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

We might want to keep the list in the same article until we are certain that this article is going to remain on Wikipedia. I am confident that this should be the case, but it might a tad premature to worry about cutting down the page size. If anything, we need more content! --DevinCook (talk) 23:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Split episode list?

It's getting kinda large. Might it be time to move the episode list to its own page? Mr Senseless (talk) 01:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree, but the page should be named "List of The Angry Video Game Nerd Episodes" rather than "List of Angry Video Game Nerd Episodes" -ZFGokuSSJ1 (talk) 05:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Too soon. The split would potentially make this article more vulnerable to further deletionist attacks. 75.65.91.142 (talk) 07:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I think we should split and re-name the list per ZFGokuSSJ1 suggestions. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 07:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

It's still premature and could be a huge mistake. 75.65.91.142 (talk) 07:44, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

My thoughts are 100% agree, and I'll take care of it when the time comes. But I will kindly and respectfully wait for DevinCook to add his input. --Mooshykris (talk) 08:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

He had this to say about this exact same matter two weeks ago, after the AfD had completed. This article's future is still not safe from deletionists, especially those with admin tools. 75.65.91.142 (talk) 10:19, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

It's better to wait because it can be easily labelled as non-notable.--Svetovid (talk) 10:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

In response to 75.65.91.142, I wasn't in that conversation unfortunately, so I didn't know his input, thanks for the info. --Mooshykris (talk) 01:02, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Length of each video?

Should the length for each video be on the list? And possibly where it is hosted in the notes? It might help informing people on when he started to get sponsored by screwattack/gametrailers, as opposed to just posts on youtube. also a mention about irategamer perhaps..? Feudonym (talk) 07:50, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Done and done ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.61.179.29 (talk) 22:49, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Episode List Format

Hello everyone. I want to hear everyone's opinion regarding how episodes will be listed on the chart. Should the list contain a number for each released video or only numbered for official reviews? Also, what format should should be used for the numbers: basic numbers incrementing for each item, the s.e notation (season 1, episode 3 = 1.3) or the common television format (season 1, episode 3 = 103). Anyway, I would like to see what everyone thinks. -DevinCook (talk) 22:17, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

AVGN article from the Philippines

This article from the Philippines:http://www.sunstar.com.ph/enwiki/static/ceb/2007/11/12/life/do.you.play..html

I'd add it, but I'm having trouble with hotlinking. Can anyone add it please?202.69.180.95 (talk) 12:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

VANDALISM!?!

ok! Someone is deleting episodes from the list! first we lose a ninja turtle thing, then rambo and now intellivision part 2 is gone. I mean people are getting sick and tired of re adding this information! I dont know how you prevent vandalism! but i think someone should do it!

• Thanks for your help. The shear number of different users that have worked on this article is quite impressive. Of course, you also draw the attention of others that want the article to fail. The best way to keep an eye on the article, is to create a full account and add the article to your Watch List. In any case, whenever the article it is changed, you can review the differences and undo if necessary. -DevinCook (talk) 02:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Adding to the Episode List

We need to make some sort of decision as to whether or not we should be adding episodes that are either A)speculated or B)have not been released yet. Andy120290 (talk) 04:42, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I saw your posting after I undid the changes. I don't think the article should contain speculation. Still, I do look forward to a review of the Power Pad! :) -DevinCook (talk) 05:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

While I am thinking about it, I noticed that in the latest addition to the episode list, there seems to be information about the plot (i.e. the part of the video that is not a review). Should we put information like this into all of the episodes that contain a plot? Andy120290 (talk) 03:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

We should work the material into the main article. There are some policies concerning plot summaries and television episodes. I would suggest that we keep the list pretty minimal - just the episodes and reviewed movies/games and any special guests. -DevinCook (talk) 08:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Movie reviews

Should there really be sections on movies that Rofle has reviewed? Is that kind of stuff really relevant to the article? It seems kind of unnecessary considering it is not realated to the Angry Video Game Nerd. Andy120290 (talk) 18:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

It might be, especially if there was an article on Rolfe himself. Martarius (talk) 09:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Possible tile change

James Rolfe Because there is a lot of info to do with his other work that is nothing to do with Angry Video Game Nerd. Also why is it The Angry Video Game Nerd? Buc (talk) 16:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

He is most famous for his work as The Angry Video Game Nerd. But I do no mind a title change to James Rolfe and then having The Angry Video Game Nerd redirect to it. As for the title. His website lists his name as The Angry Video Game Nerd[1]. Rgoodermote  16:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes but Wikipedia normally drops "the" in it's article titles. Buc (talk) 20:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Then I have no clue why The is in the article name. Rgoodermote  01:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

From WP:MOS ""the" is normally avoided as the first word (Economy of the Second Empire, not The economy of the Second Empire), unless part of a proper noun (e.g The Hague)" Buc (talk) 16:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Well I think this is the exception as he is called The Angry Video Game Nerd and not Angry Video Game Nerd on his website. Though there does appear to be a random usage of Angry Video Game Nerd. Rgoodermote  17:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
