Episode 138: I Have One, And I'm Proud

Monday, March 23rd, 2009 by NinJaSistah

That's right, there's a new episode of the ESH podcast in town... and it's ready for your consumption.

So, MilkChan of Ultimate Quest fame was supposed to be on the show, but yet again the sistah's got stood up. We didn't take it personally though, instead we used the extra time to be random and rant and rave about games, gadgets and whatnot. We start with a couple of audience questions about the Wii and titles to look forward to on the XB360 and then we get into the nitty-gritty down and dirty.

NinJaSistah talks about her first impressions ofResident Evil 5 and does a compare/contrast type thing with the Tomb Raider: Underworld title on the XB360 versus the PS3 version. Pandalicious learns the meaning of the acronym FML as well as the existence of the FML Blog, let's people know that she shouldn't be trusted with other people's children, and then goes crazy random for a bit.

It's another one of those podcasts that starts off with an agenda, but it down the weird and random path to goofy glory. Need a mental picture? Well, here are the titles that we came up with to name the episode:

  • What the "L" Is FML?
  • People Don't Trust Me With Their Children
  • Bad Worm!
  • Guns In Her Shoes? That's Accessorizing
  • I Want World Peace, But It Would Make For A Lousy Video Game
  • When Bigger Isn't Better
  • Capcom, We Have A Problem
  • There's Nowhere Like Home - That's Not Necessarily a Good Thing
  • No Console Left Behind
  • and finally
  • Don't Eat Bacon Wrapped Cancer

Told you it was random. Grab that morning cup of joe, put on your headphones and enjoy ESH Podcast Episode 138: I Have One, and I'm Proud!

Episode 137: Don't Make Me Turn This Podcast Around

Monday, March 16th, 2009 by NinJaSistah

It's yet another day day ending in "y" so why not give you a new episode of the ESH podcast? Yeah, there is no reason not to, so here you go.

Went to a podcast and a fight broke out. I will be nice and call it a strong disagreement between two strong women and turns into Pandalicious needing to know her role...which is bring you guys some interesting perspectives on things like the XBLive game Peggle and micro-transactions while NinJaSistah drops the knowledge on ya about a bunch of stuff. From some Lego games in the works, to BioShock 2 known' and unknown facts, and the new Utah bill that so far away from what we really need when it comes to violent or sexually over-toned themes, that it won't go anywhere.

To give you an idea of what you are in for, here are some of the titles that we didn't use for this podcast:

  • That's Quite An Empire State Building You Got There
  • Wo Watches The Watchmen? Not Very Many, Apparently
  • Indiana Jones and the Cold sore of a Movie
  • Scrambled Eggs Is Murder
  • For That Matter, You're Always Getting Thrown Into Jail In Monopoly
  • There's No Way You Can Get Pregnant From Peggle
  • I was Listening to the Sistahs, Then Suddenly Cheech & Chong Appeared
  • Will Work For Microsoft Points
  • and finally
  • Devil Dogs Are Not Chocolate Twinkies

Oh yeah, we also rip Jack Thompson a new one, and jibber jabber about a few other things as well. Plenty of diversity here. So sit back and enjoy ESH podcast episode 137: Don't Make Me Turn This Podcast Around

We also talk about the upcoming Harmonix/MTV Games release The Beatles: Rock Band and what it could mean for family game-time and Panda brings the suckitude that Enchanted Armsto the forefront.
