My Top 5: Songs of Rock Band 2

Monday, October 27th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

Monday brings along with it a new episode of the ESH podcast, and since NinJa had an at bat on an episode all her own, we had to give Panda equal time on this network.

Ok, so we aren't a network yet, but we are growing in that general direction so stop raining on our parade already. Pandlicious spends a little time in this episode sharing her top 5 picks for best songs featured in Rock Band 2 by MTV Games/EA/Harmonix. By now you should have a firm grasp on how much the sistah's love the Rock Band but if you don't, just make a run through of our past posts and podcast for the last two months. You will lose count of the amount of times we talk about this game, so one more won't hurt.

While I won't give away the list [what will make you listen to the episode if I type it all up here, eh?] I will tell you that it features some great all around songs folks... including stuff by Jonathan Coulton.

So, grab your headphones and a cup of joe to sit back and enjoy Pandalicious' Top 5: Songs of Rock Band 2 [medium and hard difficulties].

Episode 118: Sesame Street Is So Not in Jersey

Monday, October 20th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

It's been a while since the Sistahs talked about anime, but that's taken care of in this new episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast.

Ninjasistah expresses her delight about the anime series Solty Rei. Any anime that introduces a female heroine by letting her fall from the sky naked can't be all bad.

Pandalicious expresses unconditional love toward the narrator of the Nostalgia Critic video cast and his expert choices of favorite cartoon themes of the 1980s and '90s. Ninjasistah might have a few quibbles, but they both thoroughly enjoy his selections.

Here are the titles that were rejected for this week's episode:

The Sistahs Profess Their Love for Each Other While Calling Each Other a Punk

Things Look Dark -- Must Be Night

Suddenly a Naked Chick Fell Out of the Sky

Don't Ask Panda About Her Buffer Underrun

Walt Disney Owned My Childhood

Spoiler Alert: We Give Away the Ending to Old Yeller

Talk to Me -- I'm the Perky One

So enjoy this week's Episode 118: Sesame Street Is So Not in Jersey.

Episode 117: How To Get Treated Like A Meat Popsicle

Monday, October 13th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

Creeping into your fresh cup of coffee is a new episode of the ESH podcast, and this one is a bit different than most.

It's not a full crew episode, nor is it a top 5, this episode is all NinJaSistah, and it's all rant.

I've pulled together all my thoughts about the last few video game trade show events that I've gone to and created nearly an hour of the good, the bad, the ugly, and hopefully the fixes that are needed to truly make tradeshows accessible, fun, and educational for all.

To give you an idea of the paths this episode goes down, here are some of the titles I didn't pick for it:

  • The E3 Gods Must Be Crazy
  • CES: Where The Elite Meet To Deceit
  • Fair and Balanced: It's Not Just A Slogan... It's A Phrase
  • Stop Excluding A Sistah
  • and finally
  • COMDEX Got So Big Nobody Went There Anymore

Yes indeedy, it's a good old fashioned tongue lashing... so sit back, relax and enjoy ESH podcast episode 117: "How To Get Treated Like A Meat Popsicle."

Episode 116: Live from L.A., It's Sistahs for All

Monday, October 6th, 2008 by NinJaSistah

If you're a long-time listener of the ESH podcasts, you'll find this one has a completely different feel. That's because this episode was recorded absolutely live at the E For All show this past weekend.

Ninjasistah appeared live at the show, along with guests Loserly from Dead Pixel Live and April Carlson and Mandie Bettencourt from Girls Got Game, who discuss the true integration of girls and gaming sites.

Pandalicious represents, as usual, by talking about her fear of upcoming live-action movies made of her favorite anime stories. And MagicMysticGrl shows up after a long absence to talk about everything .hack.

Here are the headlines that were rejected for this one:

Working Part-Time, 43 Hours a Week

In Anime, Girls Will Be Girls, and So Will Boys

When Microphone Positioning Becomes Erotic

Panda Has a Filter, She Just Has to Remember to Put It On

High School Musical? These Guys Are Old Enough to Take the GED

You Are Now Entering a WoW-Free Zone

I Never Said I Wasn't a Hypocrite

It's a loud, boisterous and lots of fun. Enjoy Episode 116: Live from L.A., It's Sistahs for All.
