      Nah, his accent's got *_nothing_* on the likes of Hydraulic Press Channel for example. :D
      To my ears, he doesn't seem to have much of that stereotypical Finnish accent at all. Sure, you can hear English isn't his first language, but I hear that distinct 'Finnishness' come up mostly in his pronounciation of some band names - hard to shake those off when you've been saying them a certain way from the time you first heard them, probably when growing. Plus, a totally authentic pronounciation would usually sound odd and out of place when in middle of speaking Finnish, so those tend to get "finnished" a bit.
