When it's a pirate dressed as an Assassin, or when it's a Monday bringing you a new episode of the ESH podcast.

In this episode of our weekly podcast NinJaSistah kicks off the podcast talking about UbiSoft's latest release Assassin's Creed 2 and the things that are better in this new title as well as the things that still need a bit of tweaking. Then Pandalicious chimes in to the episode with her impressions of Warner Brothers new Lego Rock Band title which spurs a bit of a warm discussion about the evolution of the music game genre and audiences.

Episode 172: It's My Party and I'll PWN If I Want To!

Monday, November 16th, 2009 by NinJaSistah

Or should I say, this fresh episode of the Electric Sista Hood podcast is on point and poised to keep you entertained and thinking for the next hour.

In this episode of the podcast, the gals share [and spoil] Infinity Wards's latest belle of the ball Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. We answer an audience question about MW2, put the "No Russian" level controversy to bed, and end the MW2 section of the show debating virtual violence versus actual violence and how the issue affects the gaming community.

Deep right? We thought so too, so then Pandalicious changes the topic to zombie hunting and how to prep to survive the zombie apocalypse. It's a good episode of the podcast, check out some of the titles we ended up not using:

  • If Artificial Intelligence is Getting Dumber, How Artificial Can It Be?
  • It Doesn't Glorify War, It Glorifies Killing Innocent Pixels
  • Showing Off My Shelf of Six
  • No Tooth Fairy? Who's Doing the Spoiling Now?

Monday, November 9th, 2009 by NinJaSistah

Monday morning podcast freshness here for your enjoyment... get it while it's hot, like Chloe's ass.

In this episode of the podcast the girls finish up their impressions on Activisions' DJ Hero title and Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2 title but from the opposite perspectives this week. Pandalicious kicks off the hour running down her experiences with DJ Hero and then rolls her random self into her review of the new Disney movie, "A Christmas Carol: In 3-D." After a short rant about starting the Christmas season early by NinJaSistah, she picks up the mic and shares her rundown of the PS3 title Uncharted 2. Oh yeah, we talk about the lack of strong female characters that are both sexy and smart. Check out some of the titles we didn't use for this episode:
