Official Videobooks
The Official Videobooks are a series of motion comic style videos by Chris to counter the Vivian Gee's Audiobooks series. Originally, these were also called "Audiobooks" but when pressed on the fact that they did not describe the action going in the comic in such a way that a person not watching the video could understand, Chris copped out by redubbing them "Videobooks."
Voice acting
Chris, as he suggested in The Sonichu Chronicles, does all the male voices. Since he has no sweetheart to play the role of Rosechu, he also does all the female voices. Chris's voice acting gives light to how he envisions Sonichu and company sound.
- Sonichu - Chris with slightly lighter voice
- Rosechu - Chris with girly voice
- Kel - Chris with different tone girly voice
- Naitsirhc - Chris, normally, but slightly frustrated
- Chris - himself.
Chris also does all the sound effects, in a juvenile "BOOM!," "PEW PEW PEW!," etc. fashion.
Commentary
Thankfully for us, Chris frequently gives comments on the comics as he reads them, letting us know how he currently feels about past events or that he loves vaginas. You can also ascertain his feelings towards certain events by his agitated reading, hinting that he hasn't quite gotten over them.
Presentation
As opposed to the competing Audiobooks, where Vivian would get images of the comic and have the action focus on the panel as it happens while a narrator describes the action going on in the comic, Chris sloppily holds his shitty low res PSEye above his Scrapbook of Fail, hastily reading the text, adding sound effects, often while the camera is frequently off the page and have no idea what is going on. Oftentimes the PSEye is aimed at a completely different scene than the one that Chris is reading and it only leaves that location when it it time to switch to the next page. Couple that with the constant dialogue changes that he makes (some of which you can see, some of which you can't because the poorly written word bubbles are out of the shot) and the outbursts of commentary on the real-life events inspiring the scene and you're left in a state of complete and utter confusion. Chris is also prone to humming music during some scenes, but seeing as how he has no sense of tone or rhythm, along with laughing hysterically at jokes that make sense only to Chris himself, it merely makes the scene more perplexing and chaotic. Chris also uses the renamed versions of characters who are real life people despite that their real names are frequently visible.
Retconning
The videobooks reflect Chris's retcon version of the comics, though the original names are typically visible. Most of the name changes that Chris has had since January 2009 are in the videobooks, but a few new ones have arisen such as the Sonichu Balls becoming the Sonichu Crystals. Typically though, Chris will screw up his own retconned names (like he'll say "Mary" instead of "Slaweel"). In the case of Blake, he still uses the name "Black Sonichu" and explains that he later became "Blake" which defeats the purpose of the retcon name (to make Black Sonichu sound less racist).
