Good news and bad news...
🕑 Added 2016-10-21 09:24:35 +0000 UTC Hey guys,so, as the title suggests I MIGHT have some good news n bad news. However, I actually see it all as good news.
Let me explain...
Sometimes before I start scripting a video I try and make contact with different people that worked on the games, 9/10 I never get a response but yesterday I did!
The lady you see above is Helen Keaney who is a stand up comedian in America and a TV Host for a shopping channel, sorta like QVC (Damn does that channel even exist anymore?)
Anyway, more importantly she is the voice of Nikki from Pandemonium, This is common Knowledge. However, what isn't common knowledge is the fact that she just told me (via email) that the character was designed after her physically!
in my eyes this is a big deal!
Now, because she has no involvement in gaming what-so-ever other than this game it doesn't sound like anyone has ever gone to her for an interview and because of this she "claims" to not know much else. BUT, I think there is potential to squeeze even more information out of Helen that she might not think is interesting for the video but in actual fact it will be!

I am going to try my best to get the video out in time but the bad news is (that is if you see this as bad news) I am going to hold back as much as possible so it may slide back a day 2 whilst I wait :(
*FINGERS CROSSED SHE REPLIES SOONER RATHER THAN LATER*

Either way the good news is that you guys are still getting almost daily updates in the way of video segments
Yesterday I finished the intro to the Splatterhouse video and before that the awesome collaboration with Gebs24, Gashead Steve & Kim Justice comic sequence CLICK HERE 2 SEE THEM
And in between doing those videos I also created the intro for The Pandemonium video too :D CLICK HERE TO SEE THAT
And for your eyes only, below is the small amount of information that Helen has given me so far... plenty more to come hopefully :D
Hi Dan!
I'm so impressed that you found me and I'm honored to answer any questions you have.
I'm a stand up comic and actress and currently I'm a Host on HSN, a shopping channel here in the USA.
Dana Gould, a brilliant comic and writer, was working on Pandemonium. I didn't audition, he just asked me to voice Nikki . I hadn't seen the character before I voiced it and didn't really know much about the game. I was told that the character was modeled after me physically as well. I tried to impart Nikki with curiosity, energy and optimism. Greg Proops , a friend and fellow comic also worked on the project. I also feel that a sense of humor was infused in the project by Dana, Greg and I.
I'm not a gamer, I kind of stopped after Ms Pacman so I'm not much help there .
Let me know if there is anything else you need.
Best,
Helen Keaney
Have a great weekend guys and be sure to keep on checking the Splatterhouse and Pandemonium posts for more updates on the videos
Mucho Love
