** Sadly, the part about him owning the gold cartridge isn't true. According to the comments he posted on his video of outtakes from that episode, Pat the NES Punk does indeed own both the grey AND the gold version of NWC (which is pretty awesome in and of itself).

* There's one for [[MeanCharacterNiceActor James Rolfe]]: His StarWars review videos, a surprisingly deep analysis of the iconic film series. Most of us will come out of watching those videos seeing StarWars in a whole new light and gaining a greater appreciation for what it stands for.
** How about his annual Monster Madness videos? A movie review everyday in October, the 2008 edition all the Godzilla movies. The amount of work put into them every year is astounding, and he still does AVGN episodes.



* To me it's his description of "rewriting history" regarding the 16mm-film version of {{King Kong}} in his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TTcdPKwrU4 Same movies, different formats]] video. Now I know it's not the AVGN here, but Cinemassacre doesn't have it's own page so..

Which is bleeped out, because "it's that bad".

** Flying into space to throw a Superman 64 cartridge into the sun while John Williams' Superman theme plays qualifies as well.
*** Which was nicely contributed by Chris Holland, another guitar guy who ocasionally sends his stuff to Rolfe.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2pDLJgdKBA This video]] is also a crowning moment for Mike Matei's animation skills.
** And, of course, only the Nerd can beat the final boss of a shitty game whilst being strangled by a FrankensteinsMonster (of his own creation, to boot).
** The Nerd's unnecessarily vulgar {{Shut Up Hannibal}} given to [[{{Nightmare on Elm Street}} Freddy Kreuger]].
** The intro sequence for part 2 of his Batman game reviews is super awesome not only because of the theme being nicely redone by Chris Holland, but also because it features Luigi and the Nerd kicking ass!
*** And while we're at it, the Batnerd freeing himself from the Joker's clutches in the same video and kicking his butt in a ShoutOut fighting sequence, as well as shoving the shitty games up the Joker's ass.
** Death Kitty chasing the bothersome Jaguar icon all around the room and finally getting out of the place at the tune of a heavy metal contribution of the AVGN Theme, also done by a fan.
** The end of his review of Winter Games on the NES, where he actually goes against all the warnings on the back of an NES cartridge, leaving said cartridge in an oven, in a freezer and under running water, before cleaning it with alcohol, disassembling it, and finally throwing its remains in a fireplace.

** Both fights with Characters/BugsBunny. The first was very one-sided, the second the Bunny wanted revenge.
** Arguably, [[http://www.cinemassacre.com/new/?p=4659 beating Ninja Gaiden 2]] counts as one for both James Rolfe and Mike Matei, especially after the AVGN claimed the entire [[NinjaGaiden Ninja Gaiden trilogy]] [[NintendoHard impossible to defeat]] during his review of it.
