Episode 107: Friends Don't Let Friends Drink And Podcast

Monday, July 28th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

If you ever sit and ponder on the idea of people of a young-ish age drinking, let this new episode of the ESH podcast be the proof you need to "just say nay!"

This week, MagicMystic returns and brings with her balance to the force while Panda and Ninja enjoy some adult juice before, during, and probably after the episode.

This episode starts with Ninja talking about the new XBLive Arcade title Go! Go! Break Steady that she keep calling "Go! Go! Beat Street" reports on some of the feelings around the industry about E3, and the hopefully triumphant return of the fighting genre on the back of Soul Calibur IV. Magic chimes in with her new found XBox-y goodness and general discovery of "the new" as she shares first impressions of her new XBox 360 Elite as well as latent desires for an XBLive account, and then Panda brings up the rear and talks about the anime and manga series, Full Metal Panic. The gals are back to normal and completely off topic as usual.

Here are some of the random things said during the show that could have been used as titles, but weren't:

  • Wallmart, Baby Come Back!
  • The Big "E" Is Big
  • MagicMystic Is Back, And Out Of The Closet
  • Jobless Wonder To The Rescue-ish
  • It's Not The Size of Your GamerScore, But How You Use It
  • You Don't Wanna Waste Your Bombs
  • Don't Pay The Toll When 5-0's On Your Ass
  • This Podcast Is Abridged
  • and finally
  • FUSION DANCE OF PAIN!

Hope you have a hot cup of coffee on hand, because you want to stay awake for this one folks. I give you, ESH podcast episode 107: Friends Don't Let Friends Drink & Podcast!

Episode 106: Did I Giggle That Outside Loud?

Monday, July 21st, 2008 by NinJaSistah

Who doesn't like new podcast episode Monday? Productive people that's who. Let us help you start your week off on the unproductive tip with this episode of our podcast.

Sans MagicMystic yet again, the sistah's stick to the gaming topic covering both the new and upcoming starting with Panda's take on the game Project Origin and Ninja sharing some of what she was able to take away from the assorted E3 coverage.

From talking about the survival horror game genre to specific experiences with titles like Manhunt and Silent Hill to the thriller-chiller types including the "I don't think NinJa is ever going to finish it" BioShock game. Ninja talks God of War 3, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Portal 2, and Oneechanbura.

It's another one of our lively podcast episodes people, here are some of the titles we decided not to use to name it:

  • Don't. Stop. Waitin' Fer RockBand 2, Yeah
  • Who? Guess Who?
  • Don't Sell Your Soul For Tic-Tacs
  • The New Animal Crossing Lets Me Be Mii
  • Kratos Makes Ninja's Gamer Boner Hard
  • Kratos Was A Red-Headed Step Child
  • Panda's Birthday Is Another 11 1/2 Months Away
  • Killing Me Softly with Her Sword
  • We Will. We Will...Flock Ewe
  • Videogame Word of the Year: Booty
  • E3 Didn't Want Me? Well, They're Not Invited to My Place Either
  • We Have Nothing To Fear But the Sequel to Fear Itself
  • This Guy's Full of Beans, and That Is a Bad Thing
  • Don't Ever Attend a Zmbie Reunion
  • and finally
  • Brain Exlax, I Like that

If that hasn't told you everything you need to know about this week's podcast, then saddle up and give a listen to ESH podcast episode 106: Did I giggle That Outside Loud?

Episode 105: This Is Fan Service...WITHOUT My Crotch

Monday, July 14th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

It's hard to explain the title until you listen to the episode, but trust me this new episode of the ESH podcast is quite the piece of work.

In this episode of the podcast, the sistah's run the video game, entertainment and anime gauntlet from the audience choice re-review of the anime series Angel Sanctuary to new games on the E3 horizon. Would it be an ESH podcast if we didn't talk about incest, angst, mentioning Bioshock or complaining about videogames/comic titles being turning into feature length films? I don't think so. To give you a better idea of how the episode turned out, here are the titles we didn't choose:

  • Sucked Into a Portal of Happiness
  • God Knows, Even In His Sleep
  • Again With the Incest
  • I Love Her, So I Need to Kill Her
  • The Sex Scenes Are Pretty Cool, Just Pretend They're Not Related
  • Just Say "No" to Will Smith
  • Want to Beat Darth Vader? Smack James Earl Jones in the Face
  • It's Big. It's Black. and It Makes No Noise
  • My Only Real Complaint Is that It's Short
  • I Finally Took Out Ghandhi - I'm Not Proud to Say That
  • and
  • FYI: Incest Sends Your Soul to Hell

So grab your morning or evening cup of joe and enjoy ESH Podcast Episode 105: This Is Fan Service...WITHOUT My Crotch
