Episode 134: Don’t Aggro The Toast!

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

No boring Monday’s here, today we release one of our more totally NOT SAFE FOR WORK new episodes of the ESH podcast.

I can’t state this clearly enough, this podcast episode is NOT SAFE FOR WORK.

Not only is there the requisite amount of swearing in this podcast episode, but Pandalicious and I spend a good chunk of time in the episode talking about a specific piece of the male anatomy. Yes, this episode focus on “that” thing you are thinking of and how it has recently made prolific appearance in gaming today. From digital pictures sent through the pipes of XBLive and PSN to the Stubbs character in the new Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost & The Damned” DLC, DP has been popping up all over the place and needs to stop. We also chat a bit about the new Street Fighter IV game from Capcom and Panda shares some of her Left 4 Dead versus mode opinions.

If you still aren’t sure what we are talking about, here are some of the suggested episode titles we didn’t use:

  • She Surely Misspoke When She Said Bean-gag
  • We Need To Stamp Out D.P. In Our Time
  • If I No Ask, You No Flash
  • If You Gotta Show It To Me, Please Shave First
  • Was It Flopping Around Like a Dead Fish?
  • and finally,
  • I Don’t Care If YOu Talk To Me, But You’re Going To Listen To Me

So sit back, relax and enjoy ESH Podcast Episode 134: Don’t Aggro The Toast!

Oh boy, oh boy! It was bound to happen ladies and gents, welcome to the first podcast clip show of 2009! If you have never experienced an ESH clip show, this is a fun one to cut your teeth on.

Evermore has been laboriously compiling sound bites from various podcast episodes to piece together one of the most Shazamable podcast episodes that we have put out in a long time. Before I give you a partial download of what you are about to hear I do have to get this one thing off my chest, “Pandalicious is responsible for both Elvis references featured in this episode!” There I said it, and I feel much better.

Here is a list of some of the music you will hear referenced in this podcast:

  • Cake
  • Chef (Isaac Hayes)
  • Crash Test Dummies
  • Culture Club
  • Digital Underground
  • E.U.
  • Elvis (twice!)
  • Erykah Badu
  • Frankie Goes to Hollywood
  • Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam
  • Macy Gray
  • Steam
  • Supertramp
  • and for the first time ever on an episode of the ESH podcast

Episode 132: Now the Balls Have Guns!

Monday, February 9th, 2009

It’s not Funday without a new episode of the ESH podcast, and today is most definitely Funday. “The time has come,” the NinJa says, to talk of many things…

Of video games and anime, of guest hosts and interviewees…and while your cop of coffee is boiling hot, and your bandwidth is full and free, kaloo kalay come spend the day, listening to the new podcast of the ESH.

This is one of our more fun episodes as we are joined by game creator and co-host of the Dead Pixel Live Show on AllGames.com Derrick H. to talk about his new Xbox Live Community game Revenge of the Ball, and his show DPL while Panda brings a touch of FPS to the playground with her loves and loathes of Left 4 Dead, the anime series Monster, and NinJa rounds out the hour talking about the Ghostbusters game and some thoughts about the changes coming to the Tekken franchise with the pending release of the new title. Oh yeah, Playstation Home makes it into the conversation, as does Las Vegas and weird anime plot mechanism themes.

It’s a doozy of an episode, and if you need further proof, check out the titles we didn’t use for the episode

  • Some of Us Have Jobs – We Pay Bills – And We Don’t Live With Our Moms
  • Sometimes You Just Wanna Play Duck Hunt
  • It’s Called “You Will Die” But You Didn’t Hear That
  • Derrick’s Hour In Vegas Lasted Three Days

  • If You Like Being Vomited On, This Is The Game For You
  • When Doctors Become Assassins
  • The Dog Got Randy – And That’s Not Even the Fantasy Episode

  • and finally
  • You Can Do a Lot With Government Cheese

So sit down, plug in, and turn up ESH Podcast Episode 132: Now the Balls Have Guns!

Weekend RE-Hash

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Hear ye! Hear ye! Another Funday is upon us, and due to some unexpected events this week’s podcast episode is an oldy but goody.

In this podcast episode we learn that caffeine and sugar do not sit too awful well with the sistahs.

This is especially true if you add prescription drugs to the mix. Poor Pandalicious has a sprained foot during the recording of this episode, but neither the pain nor giddiness of the obvious drug overdose keeps the sistah’s from chatting about Spore:Creatures on the DS Lite, RockBand 2 co-operative play on da interwebs, and how the lack of XBox Live can drive lonely ninjas nutzoid.

If you want to get the gist of what the episode is about, check out the titles we didn’t use for this one:

  • Bomb Ash Is Not Bomb Ass
  • There’s Always a “Why?” At the End of Sex
  • I Am What I Bee
  • Double-Stuf Oreos — That’s the Team I Bat For
  • The Legend of the Three-Tiered Easy Bake Cake
  • The Love Toilet: Our Worst Tangent Ever
  • EA Makes Me Want to Use Three Condoms
  • Panda’s Wielding the Stick of Righeousness
  • A Cramp Ruined My White Wedding
  • Mentos: The Memory Taker
  • and
  • I Failed Chemistry, But I Remember Ionic and Covalent Bonds

So sit back and enjoy ESH podcast episode 114: I Said Finger Pluck. FINGER PLUCK!
