At the Magfest 2012 AVGN Q&A panel, James D. Rolfe explained that the reason for the ending of The Nerd playing the newer Godzilla games was because he thought "that was pretty funny" and that he made it like The Nerd does not even know about newer games. Rolfe also said that The Nerd "plays it out like he was really like, having never held an Xbox controller." Rolfe said at the end that he sees The Nerd as an outdated guy who literally lives in the past, considering that in real life, Rolfe is more familiar with older games than newer ones to some degree.
