Psychotaku

Psychotaku. Blogger, video game commentator, and Large Ham.

His video commentaries are spoken in (really, really loud) Japanese, with english subtitles, as based on traditional Japanese game show hosts. Typically he starts the show with some "boring" show hosted by some other boring dude named Freddie, that somehow have something to do with the current topic. While each show is different, Freddie remains the host. Afterwards, it gets interrupted Max Headroom style by Psychotaku.

The format has changed slightly as of late, thanks to Psychoneko, who appeared on the show a few times before getting her own series, took over Psychotaku's old set, forcing him to move into a basement somewhere. Since then the show starts out in Japanese and then transitions to English in the openings. Freddie still appears though, giving counterpoint to Psychotaku.

He has had a crossover with JewWario, which can be found here

Psychotaku can be found here, here and here

Psychotaku provides examples of the following:
"Psychotaku. Otaku Saikou! Translation: Psychotaku. Otaku is awesome!"

"Psychotaku: LOL!"

 * Delinquent: During his second crossover with Jew Wario (in the Sakigake! Otokujuku review, it was revealed that Psychotaku and Yanki J. used to run with the same crowd during their school days. Yanki claims the Sakigake Otokojuku franchise was based on their exploits.
 * Do Not Adjust Your Set: Every show he takes over Freddie's program, to broadcast his show. He gets this in one episode from Psykoneko when she found out he uses the controller for rhythm games instead of the special controllers.
 * Evil Laugh:


 * Gratuitous English: Averted and parodied.
 * I Know Karate: In addition to a multiple of other talents, Freddie is a kung-fu master with moves such as the Phoenix Blow.

 * What Could Have Been: Psychotaku was very nearly on Screw Attack, having reached the finals of their "My Vids Don't Suck" contest to add a new featured contributor to the site. The show lost to The Game Overthinker, who had arguably cheated by getting his existing fanbase to register accounts on the site & vote for him, when the contest was meant to be voted on by the g1s.
 * Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Freddie seems to have a new job, related to the item of the day, every time. Ranging from a wildly eccentric Chef to a karate master.
