Cinemassacre is a video website run by James Rolfe, showcasing a number of short online videos. The main feature of the website is The Angry Video Game Nerd, but other notable series of videos include Board James, OverAnalyzers, and You Know What's Bullshit?.

The Angry Video Game Nerd

Originally titled The Angry Nintendo Nerd, these videos star Rolfe as the titular nerd, who in general gives negative reviews of old video games, which cause him to shout strong profanity and drink Rolling Rock to "soothe the pain" of playing bad video games.
