Rolfe was an early adopter of digital video, purchasing a Panasonic AG-DVX100 camcorder during his senior year of college while his peers were still using wind-up 16mm film cameras. The results he got with the DVX100 were so impressive that the rest of his class immediately started using it as well.
The oldest TV series he remember seeing as a kid was "Turbo Teen" .
The son of Marlene Rolfe & Scott Rolfe.
During his childhood, he was an avid collector of Nintendo Power magazines. Although he praised the magazine in many ways (especially for its insider-information regarding Nintendo games), he found himself disgusted by the advertisements that have been later printed on the first pages. It even went so far that he once stapled the first two pages of an Nintendo Power issue together, out of disgust from what he saw.
He is also the co-creator of Cinemassacre, an online movie review site and a place he posted his videos to before youtube was even available (youtube was made in 2006) (His site (Cinemassacre.com) was made in 2004).
