My Top 5 Guitar Hero/Rock Band Downloads

Monday, March 24th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

When the Panda's away, the Ninja will play. Mostly, she'll play Guitar Hero and Rock Band. While Pandalicious tastes the goodness of Anime Boston, NinjaSistah decided to delve into her collection of downloadable content for Guitar Hero III and Rock Band. And she pulled out her Top 5 faves for this week's podcast.

Exactly which ones did she pull out of there? Well, you're going to have to actually listen to the thing in order to find out. I'm not telling you here. But let me just say that I think you're going to be pleased with her selections.

In the meantime, Panda's been blogging about her Anime Boston experience, and she'll be back next week to reveal all the details. So enjoy this week's special podcast topic from NinjaSistah: My Top 5 Guitar Hero/Rock Band Downloads.

Episode 90: The Best Little Whorehouse On the PS3

Monday, March 17th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

With Anime Boston coming up this weekend, the Sistahs are excited as they can be. And that excitement shows in this week's episode of the podcast.

In addition to a preview of Anime Boston, the Sistahs discuss all facets of gaming. NinjaSistah talks about EA trying to take over Take Two, makers of the Grand Theft Auto series. And Pandalicious goes on and on about dating sim games -- particularly focusing on the question, "why aren't girls the protagonist in these games?"

In any case, it's well worth your hour and seven minutes to listen in. And in case you were wondering, here are some of the titles they rejected for this week's episode:

EA's So Rich, Their Cash Is Brown

ET Listens to This Podcast

EA Shows Take Two Who's the Bully

That Sound Emanating From Ninja's Guitar: Shake, Rattle and Roll

Was That Terriers or Derriers?

Boston Winos Will Be Heading for Rehab This Week

A MILF Would Bring a Whole New Dimension to Paperboy

The Discussion Degenerated to Talk About the Roughness of Sticks

The Only Come-On Line a Girl Needs Is "Hi"

So there you go. Let us know what you think about Episode 90: The Best Little Whorehouse On the PS3.

Episode 89: It's Like Six Flags Over The Electric Chair

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

I know it's officially Wednesday, but a late new episode of the ESH podcast is always better than never receiving the episode at all.

Pandalicious shares some musings about viral video treasure trove YouTube, FUNimation channel getting itself out of the rerun doldrums, and self buttering popcorn. [you'll just have to listen to find out more about that one] Then NinJaSistah jumps in to add the sprinklings of gaming news including some first impressions on Legendary, and MagicMystic rounds out the show with another review of an edgy manga title. This title is hard to describe so I'll just give you the name...Deadman Wonderland.

If you want some help deciding to watch this episode, just check out the rejected title list:

  • Air Causes Cancer-Didn't You Know?
  • Popcorn's Coming! And That's Just Sick
  • Popcorn: Now It Makes It's Own Gravy
  • Point Me To The Nearest Ghost
  • Retards Are Special, Too
  • Crinklebread Must Make Great Toast
  • Magic's Not A Stuntwoman, But She Plays One In A Videogame
  • Take magic To Vegas, I'll Knit A Sweater
  • Kitty Birds Just Don't Look Menacing Enough
  • 101 Things To Do With Your Yang
  • Blood As A Weapon? The Red Cross Can't Keep Up Now!
  • An Eye for A What?!
  • Deadman Wonderland, Great Entertainment For Bulimics
  • The G Ward Really Does Exist
  • YouTube, It fights Mental Boredom
