Nostalgia Critic vs Angry Video Game Nerd
Once upon a time, there was a man named Doug Walker. And another one named James Rolfe. Both would become great assets to the videogame community on the World Wide Web, giving us entertainment of the top shelf whilst they give us even more greatness on their respective sites.
The Angry Video Game Nerd was a character whose origins could be found under a different name. As James Rolfe, creator of The Cinemassacre, had created the Angry Nintendo Nerd as something to show his friends.

When eventually the series was put on Youtube, the ANN exploded in to stardom, eventually making his way on to Screwattack.com and as an extension the big videogame site known as Gametrailers.
Then there was the Nostalgia Critic. Once again we find an origin in the great video wasteland known as Youtube. Here it was the purpose to do satirical reviews of nostalgic movies of the past and present.

Since then, the Nostalgia Critic has evolved in to a brand new character whilst the persona seen in that video turned in to a bum. No, seriously. Doug Walker himself left Youtube because of various copyright claims from the major film companies whilst they really had no claim, what with the law protecting mister Walker and all with the fair use thing.
At the dawn of these two characters, nobody would ever have suspected the greatness that would soon follow.
You could say that the feud started in a simple review. Though there is no sign of the feud here, it’ll become a vital part of the feud in the end. Here we see the great Nostalgia Critic as we have known him for over a hundred videos so far.

It was funny, informative and brilliant at the same time. This man was promising to become one of the greatest of the internet, suited to be a part of the hall of fame. In the meantime, James Rolfe continued to torture himself with shitty games and entertain us with us own movies and movie reviews.
However, neither of them counted on their fans stirring up the heat beneath them. As AVGN fans came to the NC’s videos and commented things that only ended up antagonizing the Critic in to creating the following video:

And so it begins.
Soon after, the AVGN responded in his own forum at Screwattack.com saying: "I've seen some of his videos. His Cloverfield review was hilarious, and if I'm not mistaken, I think he also did the "5 second movies" also. Those put me to tears. So yes, call me a fan of his." This caused the Nostalgia Critic to rant once more against the AVGN:

A little while later, the AVGN put up a video of the nostalgic movie: The Wizard two weeks before the Nostalgia Critic was scheduled to do so.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TWQz8TMsc0
This did not go over lightly. Once the Nostalgia Critic learned of this act, he immediately went in to a psychopathic rage and created another rant aimed towards the greatest nerd of all time. Because it seemed that the Critic had announced this review way before the AVGN put up his review.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/207-avgn-wizard-rant
Where after he posted his own review of the movie on That Guy With The Glasses.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/215-the-wizard
The tension was building up greatly. It was almost so tangeable that could cut it with a knife if you wanted to. You could feel the rage of the Critic burn through the screen. And then it finally happened. The moment that we’ve all been waiting for. That one video that would set the entire internet on fire, causing a ripple of enthusiasm and fan boy glee through every viewer. James Rolfe, the AVGN, responded.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHWunsTLYa0
This, of course, did not go unnoticed.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/386-avgn-response-response
The game was on, the glove had slapped the cheek and the challenge had been made. What was going to happen next? So far, fans of both Doug Walker as James Rolfe have been following this feud with great interest. As this was an event of so badass proportions, their heads were going to explode. Yet, this was not enough. Two days had passed and still there was no response. The Critic was furious. And so he traveled forth in to the great beyond to challenge the AVGN in person. As also seen in the video that followed was Captain S.
Created by PBC Productions, The new adventures of Captain S followed Chad Belmont through 10 episodes of awesomeness where he picks up the mantle of video land defender and fight against a powerful nemesis.

As both James Rolfe and PBC productions were partnered with Screwattack, a crossover happened soon enough. Because the Nerd and the Hero teamed up to save Christmas!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNAF0GGssbM
And so the Nostalgia Critic and the AVGN meet, with Captain S … visiting.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/529-the-battle-of-epic-proportions
It truly was a battle of Epic Proportions. Yet, it would definitely not be the last. Still, we’re a long way from that point. The AVGN has accepted the challenge and he will review a shitty movie. However, he in return has demanded that the Critic reviewed a shitty game. The shit was going to hit the fan, literally and figuratively. First came the Angry Video Game Nerd with his review of a movie with personal nostalgic value. This was of course Ricky 1, a spoof of the great movie Rocky with Sylvester Stallone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpMxy_ydnMM
After that the Critic put on some new threads, dusted off his SNES and plopped in a real fucker of a game: Bebe’s Kids.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/994-video-game-review
The sheer suckiness of both these subjects almost tore a hole through the Space Suck continuum, but we all managed to hold on to your buts and not say bye bye to Kansas.
Then came the video we’ve all been waiting for. Almost anyways.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/1810-nc-vs-avgn-last-showdown
Yes, folks. The Nostalgia Critic was on his merry way to kick some nerd ASS. The internet started living and breathing this one fight. We lived and planned towards this one event. It was going to be HUGE. And then, there it was. In all it’s glory, basking us in awesomeness.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/2023-avgn-vs-nc-final-battle
We came.
After that, it all seemed over. It ended on a nice note of possibly more to come. Yet we never really got news that suggested another battle would come. It was kind of like a cliffhanger in a horror movie. I for one really didn’t expect something new to come out of this.
And so Cinemassacre went its own way and kept on growing in to an even greater site. James Rolfe became a source of inspiration and information for all with his vast knowledge of not only movies but also about movie making. Monster Madness, retrospectives and reviews followed one after another as the character known as the AVGN kept on as well.
That Guy With the Glasses kept on growing as well, adding more and more members to its roster like Linkara and Angry Joe. It even start building up to this super secret one year anniversary video. Sure, we were all pretty exited about it. From what little information we were given, it promised to be a good video. Truth be told, I didn’t really expect anything of it. And as I started watching it, I almost turned it off at the beginning because I wasn’t in the mood. And then … Just watch.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/6719-1-year-anniversary-video
OH MY GOD. This has to be greatest video ever created for the internet. The sheer epicness that it holds would make even Chuck Norris shed a single tear. It’s so beautiful to watch and unfold, seeing all those people you’ve been watching together in a single room. Bringing forth memes and staples of their respective series, these people have brought us a brawl that would be remembered for years to come. Yet, it does not end here. In the final moments of this epic brawl, Ask ThatGuy joins the party by exclaiming that it’s best to work together, because us viewers eat crossovers up. So, following this video a while later was a review of the shitfest known as: The Making of Coming out of their shells tour.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/8124-cntmnt
And with that, the feud came to an end. For months we followed this feud go on, evolve in to something great. It was an enjoyment to watch and a damned shame to see it end. However, we’ve all learnt many things and we’ve discovered some great new people. We will remember it with fondness. We also hope that perhaps in the future, something would still come out of it.
