 * SSoHPKC.jpegSSoHPKC is a notable member of the Youtube "Let's Play" community. He is known for his playthroughs of various games across different consoles as well as custom Mario hacks of SMW.

Has problems with a few videos which get stuck in processing, which is nicknamed "Processing Hell". He also has a real-life channel called SeamusPKC with blogs, skits, and random videos featuring himself and friends. His gaming channel obtained YouTube partnership at August 28, 2010.

The Jason Saga
The Jason Saga "Jason" is an individual known by SSoHPKC around the time of 2003 to the early portion of 2004. The two met and played in a somewhat popular MMORPG together up until 2007/early 2008 when the two felt that the game had changed too drastically for the worse.

Jason is known as "LazyCanuckk" to the viewers and has appeared in several videos, even completing Halo 3 in its entirety with SSoHPKC. Jason's first any video appearance should be noted as a dual commentary Mario Hack that not many have seen. While Jason's exact location is unknown, it has been mentioned that his hometown lies somewhere in Western Canada. Jason is an avid fan of hockey with the Vancouver Canucks being his team of choice. He also enjoys baseball casually being a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays. Jason is also infamous throughout the videos for his poor driving ability. One example was his driving into a mine in the "Borderlands LP" then running over SSoHPKC in Halo 3.

Jason's Appearances in Videos:

 * Few Mario Hack videos
 * Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Videos
 * Halo 3 Campaign Co-Op
 * Borderlands & DLC
 * Plays role as RIVAL in Pokemon FireRed
 * Dead Rising 2 Co-Op Walkthrough
 * Tubecasts with SSoHPKC

The gamingUSA Saga
A YouTube user known as gamingUSA used to comment on some of SSoHPKC's videos. His messages were often aggressive, somewhat homophobic, and, in the eyes of SSoHPKC and many of his fans, just plain childish. After being blocked, he made multiple accounts so that he could continue commenting. The initial comment that sparked the altercation was gamingUSA's remark that "the videos sucked because they weren't in HD." Ironically enough, a few months later, SSoHPKC upgraded to an HD capture card.

gamingUSA was the one to coin the term "clock open them bears", a saying which SSoHPKC never understood. Eventually, it ended up becoming an insult, usually directed towards NPCs. His name has also become synonimous with "forum/internet troll". Most people guess that gamingUSA was attempting to tell SSoHPKC that he should stop making videos and instead go drink beer.

Projects Blocked
Several projects have been "blocked" from being recorded for various reasons. These projects include:

From the horses mouth, here are the specific reasons why the games won't be done:
 * Bioshock
 * Bioshock 2
 * Borderlands: Mad Moxxi DLC
 * Oblivion
 * Cat Mario
 * I Wanna Be the Guy
 * Splinter Cell Conviction
 * Red Dead Redemption
 * While SSoHPKC believes the two Bioshock games to be good, he feels as if his specific style of playing would not be enjoyable to watch.
 * Feels the Borderlands: Mad Moxxi DLC was a waste of a DLC
 * Liked Fallout 3 over Oblivion. It was also determined in a "Vote or Don't" Episode that Fallout 3 would become an active project and not Oblivion.
 * Cat Mario and I Wanna Be the Guy have been done numerous times by people who have better grasps on the games. Also, I Wanna Be the Guy can be incredibly hard and a blackhole of time.
 * Splinter Cell Conviction was passed up due to the fake copyright claims placed on Darksydephil.
 * Received a copyright strike from (supposedly) TakeTwo games for initial videos of Red Dead Redemption.

Dislikes
SSoHPKC, like many other Let's Players, has what could be called an "unwritten list" of things that he, as well as many others, dislike in comments. These include:
 * "Do more of __________": Usually, these types of comments range from the perfectly fine, such as a person stating what they would like to see next and hoping SSoHPKC will take it into consideration, to the downright ugly, to the "Read his profile"; things such as "Oh my god, you suck! Upload more __________!" would fall into the "ugly" category, while "Hey, you gonna do Red Dead Redemption?" would fall into the "Read his profile" category.
 * "Stop saying _________": SSoHPKC believes that if someone doesn't like what a person says in a video, they should, "change what they're watching instead of trying to change the person".
 * "You suck at _________": This relates slightly to the previous bullet; SSoHPKC believes that people should go and watch someone else if they don't like his videos.
 * Advertisements: SSoHPKC, as well as many of his fans, dislike when someone tries to advertise on his channel.
 * "Pr0n bots": Often, accounts made by computers in order to lure people to "blogs", which are usually sexual in nature, comment on SSoHPKC's channel. They have been found to be very annoying by him and his fans.
 * Stating which number viewer you are on any given video adds neither positive or negative feedback and often leads to a pile up of useless comments.
 * Giving advice on the game after SSoH has already beaten it.
 * Pointing out a near useless, non-crucial item to a games progression that was missed. Example: Pointing out a missed Jet in Fallout 3.
 * People complaining about him swearing, when the game he is playing contains swearing itself.

Other than in comments, SSoHPKC also has many other dislikes that pertain to different aspects of his gaming career including:
 * MLC players on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
 * Danger Close and One Man Army perks along with explosive weapons such as the grenade-launcher attatchment for assault rifles (known to CoD fans as a "noob-tube") or Thumper on Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2
 * Using save states on retail games
 * Youtube's uploading system
 * Puzzle based games
 * Backtracking
 * Mazes
 * Muncher/clapper spamming (Mario hacks)
 * Precision Jumping
 * Being forced to have an item/person in order to progress. (Example: needing a cape or a Yoshi in order to cross a large gap in order to progress in a Mario hack when neither were supplied anywhere in the level).
 * Save-stating to keep power-ups
 * Dying right before a check-point
 * Finishing a video and being incredibly close to the end of the level/mission/segment/etc.
 * A game that forces you to find a secret
 * Being forced to be stealthy in games (probably why he hasn't done any metal gear LPs)
 * Contrary to him not liking stealth games in one of his recent Mafia videos he noted "this feels kinda like Splinter Cell" which is weird because the older splinter cells require stealth which may mean he used to like stealth games and something lead him away from the genre.
 * The "Penis guy" in MineCraft. He keeps blowing up his landscape and making his house property value go down.

SSoHPKC's Play Style
SSoH's play style is very different to almost everyone who watches his videos as shown by the numerous comments regarding how he plays.

SSoH's style is in no way stealthy or technological. He prefers to run into a room with a shotgun or assault rifle and shoot anything that moves, even friendly AI people who don't get out of his way. This tactic (although after massive health loss) works, and he lives to finish the game. (There is a perfect example of this in The Saboteur and Alpha Protocol playthrough.)

His play style also greatly depends on his attitude to character and events in the game. A prime example is Alpha Protocol. After being the nice guy and trying to like people he went on a rampage didn't put up with the shenanigans.

Not the patient type, SSoH will usually run head first into anything, sometimes resulting in missing an important object, task, or passage. This leaves his viewers yelling at their screens trying to break time, space, and physics to point out to him the direction.

SSoH tends to operate on trial-and-error system; usually investigating a path or object to find its usefulness or its lethality.

Influences
The following YouTubers have been mentioned and/or are believed to have influenced SSoHPKC's personality, video choice, recording style, and commentary style over the course of his career:
 * ProtonJonSA
 * AzureBlade49
 * darkmindedsith
 * Durden77
 * darksydephil

SSoHPKC's Commenting Style
SSoH's usual commenting style consists of on-the-fly thoughts and observations. He may comment on the game itself or random events experienced in life. The commenting style also depends on the type of game being played. When playing console games SSoHPKC will focus on the game at hand and give his opinions and talk about the game's content. In mario hacks/retro games the commentary is more laid back. These are the videos where SSoHPKC will talk about his life and various events going on. He does not usually produce videos with post-commentary unless experimenting or conforming to other channels his videos may be uploaded to.

SSoHPKC Name Meaning: No one knows what the first four letters SSoH stands for exept for a select few, those included are LazyCanukk (Jason), Solex (Unknown Spelling), CaptainScoobaSteve (Xbox Live Name), and obviously SSoHPKC himself. The PKC stands for Psycho Kinetic Collaboration which is inspired from The Mother Series. Since Seamus started doing Lets plays he has changed the name to PKS (Psycho Kinetic Studios) but has not bothered to change his name officially on YouTube. As far as Seamus is concerned SSoH doesn't mean anything to him (it used to but now he just uses it as his alias) and he would ban anyone who releases the true meaning of is name, with that said do not ask, spam, or beg in any way, shape, or form those three people as they will not release that information. However, there are rumors spreading around that say SSoH stands for his name, SeamuS O'doHerty. This was never confirmed.

All the information on SSoHPKC's name can be accessed in his 500th subscriber Q&A video where he answers all of this himself. He starts talking about his name at 4 minutes in.
