Arkanoid Psycho

A species of human being most commonly found aboard Carnival cruise ships during the early 1990s. The Arkanoid Psycho is a middle-aged unmarried male obsessed with playing Arkanoid whose obsession drives him to spend countless hours, quarters, and valuable vacation time trying to advance just one more level. The Arkanoid Psycho has little patience, and will swear profusely while playing, particularly when anyone is kicking the near-by “Lucky & Wild” cabinet for free games.
Brother A: “Hey, you want to go to the ship arcade and kick the Lucky & Wild game for a few hours”?

Brother B: “I don’t know. The Arkanoid Psycho is probably there and might kill us if we do that again. Let press all the buttons in the elevator instead”

psychenaut

Sailor of the Mind.
Not like the librarian of the Mind.
Whenever you forget something, the psychenaut goes and looks for it.
The librarian keeps things organized but the psychenaut searches the vast part of your mind to find what the librarian lost or doesnt have in his collection.
