Episode 152: A Romp in the Hay Should Be Fun

Monday, June 29th, 2009


In this episode of the Electric Sista Hood podcast Ninjasistah kicks off the episode chatting about the anime series Eden of the East and then we try to get serious.

We tried.While we do our best to keep it on the PG, Pandalicious starts a rant on achievement whoring which turns into an achievement glutton VS achievement whore definition debate that ends up running into a tangent of it’s own. When we get back on schedule she talks about her new found love of completing games including the Ubisoft title Assassins’ Creed and what we are looking forward to in the next installment of the game. Then Ninjasistah comes back with some bits about industry mergers and acquisitions with the announcement of the Tecmo Koei merger on the heals of the ZeniMax Media id Software.

It’s another fun podcast in the can so sit back and prepare to enjoy ESH podcast episode 152: A Romp in the Hay Should Be Fun

Episode 150: The Brownies Were Mad Crazy Delicious

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Once again, Monday brings with it a new episode of the Electric Sista Hood podcast, and in this one I think we finally put the nail in the post E3 wrap-up content.

Pandalicious and Ninjasistah talk about some of the lesser known or presented games like Warner Bros. Scribblenauts for the DS and a few titles from Playlogic including Section 8 Who had the best looking man candy by far. From Alpha Protocol to The Lord of the Rings: Arrogorns’ Tale we talk through the last bits of our E3 notes… until we finish unpacking that is.

So kick back, relax, and enjoy ESH podcast episode 150: The Brownies Were Mad Crazy Delicious

p.s. more photo galleries to come, so be sure to check out the website this week often.

While My Pocketbook Gently Weeps

Monday, June 8th, 2009

We aren’t dead, but our feet [and brains] are dead tired from traipsing around the LA Convention Center last week to cover E3 for you guys. [And if I'm honest, for ourselves as well.] I couldn’t tell you how much both Pandalicious and I enjoyed our time in LA. First there was the catching up with the rest of the AllGames fam, followed closely by the meeting and greeting of new gamer-type press groups and the exchange of thoughts and ideas over free drinks. [Crix Lee from GirlGamer, Destructoids' Nick Chester, and Mr. Crecente himself from Kotaku to name drop a few.] The side-story fun stuff aside, we descended on LA for a reason and that reason was to get the low down on the soon to be released and up-and-coming video games.

I won’t bore you with a list of what we looked at, and whom we spoke to now as it wouldn’t leave us anything to write for the rest of the week. What I will do is tell you that this podcast was one of our more enjoyable ones to record. We recorded it live from the show floor and Crix Lee popped by during our The Beatles: RockBand time and shared some great insights with us. A few people were wow’d by my laptop skin [courtesy of DecalGirl] and interrupted us a bit so you may notice that in here as well, but we had a lot to talk about… Bayonetta, Scribblenaughts, Prototype, and Batman: Arkham Asylum come to mind as I write this.

From the stronger female presence both physically and pixel-y at this years’ show to media briefing impressions and being excluded from demos we talk about it all. Grab your beverage of choice and put on your headphones, it’s time to enjoy Electric Sista Hood podcast 149: While My Pocketbook Gently Weeps

Episode 148: A Disney Movie With Black People? Well, Zippity-Do-Dah

Monday, June 1st, 2009


Right before we head off to LA we cooked up a fresh new podcast episode for you to enjoy while we sleep on planes.

In this episode of the podcast hosts NinJaSistah and Pandalicious talk about what they hope to see, learn, and play at E3 this year as well as deal a bit gossip out for your enjoyment. From the confirmed PSP GO to discussing some of the many ways Harmonix/MTV Games will be storing all the money they are stand to make with The Beatles: RockBand we leave no gaming cranny uncovered.

Then we cap it all off with our first reactions to the upcoming hand-drawn Disney feature length animated film, “The Frog Princes,” which features a nearly all black cast of characters. There’s a lot of energy and a lot to enjoy in ESH podcast episode 148: A Disney Movie With Black People? Well, Zippity-Do-Dah
