Episode 165: Pandalicious Loves the Hired Help

Monday, September 28th, 2009

The best way to kick off the beginning of a fresh new week is with a new episode of the Electric Sista Hood podcast. This one has an audience question, video game reviews and anime… the holy trifecta of ESH!

We start off with a question brought to us by William Bell of TheXboxDomain which fuels the conversation for the bulk of the show about how nit-picky we have become as gamers. From growing up and having to learn to love what you get, to almost being apathetic as new titles flood the market. Pandalicious and NinJaSistah don’t really come to an agreement on the subject, but it is a fun journey towards an answer nevertheless.

Then we move on to hands-on video game reviews of Bethesda Softworks new release Wet on the PS3 and NinJaSistah’s knee-jerk reaction to the DJ Hero demo. Then we chat about the Dreamcast/PS2 games available via PSN rumor and Pandalicious tops out the hour with her coverage of the anime series Black Buttler

Here is a quick glimpse into what the episode is like:

  • Five-Year-Olds Don’t Need Boom Boxes
  • My Douche-Baggery Made You Better
  • I’m Not Condoning Eating Cats
  • Videogames Are Not a Pos-Apocalyptic Guide
  • and finally
  • Spoiler Alert! Bambi’s and Norman Bates’ Mothers Both Dead

Episode 164: When In Doubt, ALWAYS Go Awesome!

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Start of a new week means it’s time for a new episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast, and in this episode NinjaSistah and Pandalicious talk games, gadgets, and cosplay.

The gals kick off the episode by answering a question submitted by audience member KevinCrave about costly options for Halloween, hot now demo’s for the Xbox 360 and PS3 Wet and Brutal Legend and what first impressions they were left with, and some giveaway goodness that is going on this week and next.

Both the Need For Speed/EA folks and Inspired Instruments have some great things popping off this week. NFS is running a mission based deal from 12:00am PST on the 21st of September to the 25th of September until 11:59pm where they will be giving away a bunch of NFS: Shift goodies. Oh yeah, and a beemer. Inspired Instruments will cut you a $10 break for every friend you refer that buys a You Rock Guitar from them. Gear and goodies, gotta love it right?

For a better picture of the episode, here are some of the titles we came up with, but didn’t use:

  • Buy Our Magazine and Get a +5 to Purity
  • Inside: Girls Talking About Getting Wet
  • Every Roadie Is Named Eddie
  • “Jack the Bus” Shouldn’t Mean Actually Jacking a Bus
  • Need For Speed Needs to Satisfy My Need For Car
  • Panda Hokey? That Pretty Much Describes It
  • and finally
  • I’ll Be Broke For Christmas

We enjoyed recording this episode a bunch, so enjoy the fruits of our labor and kick it with ElectricSistaHood podcast episode 164: When In Doubt, ALWAYS Go Awesome!

Episode 162: Google Cocks Is Coming (That’s So Wrong)

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Whether you’re going back to school, back to work or back to the unemployment line, you’re going to get something good out of this episode of the ElectricSistahood podcast.

Pandalicious kicks it all off with a rant about lousy Swiss Gear bags and delivers advice on three much better choices: Scuba Design, booqbags.com and bbpbags.com. Then she and NinjaSistah discuss the good and bad points of the various portable gaming options available out there.

The Ninja carries on the discussion, talking about computer applications to help you get things done: OmniFocus, Hit List and Remember the Milk. She also highlights a company — mimoco.com — that says not all thumb drives have to be dull and boring. She concludes with advice on how to get a big screen TV on the cheap, and how to get great computer applications absolutely free.

It’s an episode filled with double entendres, as you can see from the list of rejected titles:

  • For All Freshmen Who Can’t Spell “Book”
  • It’s a Book Bag That’ll Get You a Date on Friday Night
  • It Would Be Dangerous to Bring ESHmom to Psychology Class
  • This Bag Solves the Housing Problem on Campus
  • Amish Girls Gone Wild? They Are Experienced With Butter Churns
  • What If Your TA Has Really Good T&A?
  • If You Find a Girl Who Can Fill Out Your Porn Collection, Marry Her

It’s full of laughs and, unlike your first week back at school, you’re going to learn a little along the way. Enjoy Episode 162: Google Cocks Is Coming (That’s So Wrong).
