Join sisters NinJaSistah and Pandalicious and the rest of the ESH Crew each day as they discuss video games, tech gadgets, anime, manga... pretty much everything within the geek chic lifestyle.
From Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC game reviews, previews, news, and gushings to audience questions and rumor mill seeding galore you'll find it here at ESH!
Both NinJaSistah and Pandalicious have played through the game and spend the bulk of the hour tripping through the awesome gameplay that is Bayonetta while spoiling the story ending, plot points and more. Did you know there was a music video at the end of the game? You do now!
We even answer an audience question or two, touch on James Cameron's movie Avatar and start sharing some of the audio interviews Evermore and I conducted during CES 2010. Need more incentive to take a listen, check out some of the titles we came up with for this episode but didn't use:
Climaxes Are Different — We'll Get Back to Those
She's Wet — And It's Not Just Because She's Been At the Bottom of a Lake
and finally
The Last Naked Woman to Be Taken Seriously Was Eve
Although this girl is pointing to somewhere in the desert of Saudi Arabia, the Sistahs weren't even close to there when recording this week's podcast. Instead, NinjaSistah was in the desert (Las Vegas), covering the Consumer Electronics Show, while Pandalicious was comfortably at home in the snowdrifts of New England (and perhaps pant-less).
As you might expect, CES was at the forefront of their discussion on the podcast this week, focusing on 3D television technology, e-readers and some new games for the PS3, as well as some talk on Google's new Nexus One phone.
Here are the titles we rejected for this week's podcast:
Now Vanna Can Turn the Letters Right In Your Living Room
(By the way, the girl in the photo is a representative of Kimin Electronic Co., Ltd., a company which manufactures large -- up to 42-inch -- touchscreen monitors. It's very impressive stuff, but they don't fit in your pocket like an iPhone.)
In this, the final episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast for 2009, we rehash our Holiday gift buying guide episode with a couple of editions including some from guest host Loserly of DeadPixelLive fame.
We added some more audio equipment-type gifts like the Beats by Dre Tour in-ear headphones, some pocket-type synths from ThinkGeek. To give you an idea of how this show goes, here are some of the titles we came up with but didn't use:
Ninja's Tongue Needs a Wheelchair
AND It Helps If You Need to Move a Whale
Panda's Word of the Day: Facetious
Sandwiches in the Dark — How Romantic
Panda Says She Likes It From All Directions — And She Calls US Perverts
Kicking off the hour we talk about some of the teaser trailers for newly announced games in the Medal of Honor and Green Day: RockBand franchises. Then the ranting goes to the next level and we go through some of the more controversial category winners like Jack Black for "Best Voice Performance" and which set Pandalicious off.
Check out some of the titles we came up with, but didn't use for this episode:
It's Not Cute, It's Not Pretty and It Doesn't Whistle
A new Monday morning brings with it a fresh episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast, are you not entertained? Well, after catching this episode filled with cutting room floor goodness you will be.
In this episode of our weekly podcast, NinJaSistah introduces three segments of content we had to cut from previous episodes that have yet to air on a final episode of our podcast... until now that is. First up are some of the things we cut from our original airing of our holiday gift guide, including the RoboTech Saga anime series, iPod Touch, and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 titles.
The next segment kinda keeps the holiday theme going by talking about how much both Pandalicious and NinJaSistah hate Christmas gifts/holiday decorations appearing commercially before Halloween has even happened. In the final segment of the podcast, we give you some of the anime stuff that NinJaSistah has talked about recently, but hasn't made it to your eardrums like Kiba and Maria Watches Over Us.
Shoppamas is upon is folks, as in-escapable as new podcast episode Monday here in the land of ESH.
In this episode of the podcast NinjaSistah and Pandalicious are joined by Xenocore to share with you some of our best of picks of what to gift the Geek/Gamer/Anime Fan in your life. Pandalicious kicks off the hour talking both games and gadgets including Skullcandy headphones and earbuds for both audiophiles and gamers on the go. Then Panda shares her pick for family fun sharing-time goodness, Lego RockBand, and for the competitive gamer Demon Souls on the PS3 and Modern Warfare 2 which is multiplatform. Her section of the show ends with Activisions' DJ Hero
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.

We will add whichever game gets the most love to our "Get Me This Shit For the Holliday" episode. But until we tape and produce that one, kick back and enjoy Electric Sista Hood Podcast 173: Assassinate Creed? Where Do I Sign Up?
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
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:
In this episode we help kick off the start of November with a podcast full of gaming. Starting off with NinJaSistah's coverage on the new Activision title DJ Hero on the Xbox 360 while Pandalicious talks up both Uncharted 2:Among Thieves for the PS3 and Playlogic's new FairyTale Fights game.
We are chock full of game goodness in this one ladies and gents. We even briefly mention the new Magic Mouse from Apple and Tekken 6 Here's a quick glimpse of what this episode is like:
Bobby Blue Bland — Say That Three Times Fast
Is It Possible to Spoil the Plot of Little Red Riding Hood?
Counting the Strokes Detracts from the Experience
and finally
It's Cartoony to Make You forget About All the Bloodshed
Sure, it would be easy to make a double entendre title for this weeks new podcast episode but we take the high road here at Electric Sista Hood.
Ok, actually we don't, but it was a fun way to start this podcast post. This podcast episode is ALL game, no anime, no gadgets. Pandalicious kicks off the hour with her final thoughts on the PSP game Obscure: The Aftermath by Playlogic, including a recommendation to play it on something soft. She says the game is scary, and you'll through your PSP around like a rag doll. Then she goes into a spiel about her first reactions to the new 2K Games title Borderlands and explores the parallels between it's gameplay elements and the PC title Diablo. We then have a spirited conversation about how to get PC gamers over to the console gaming side of the fence.
Then I finish out the hour talking about my experience with the social stuff on the Xbox Live Preview including Twitter and FaceBook. Closing out the hour is NinJaSistah's review of the EA title Need for Speed: Shift on the PS3. It's a busy episode, here are some of the titles for it that we didn't use:
This One Made Me Sing to Barney 'Til Dawn
Beware Games With Boys Choirs
Skeeziest Line of the Year: "The Flower Inside Me Has Just Bloomed!"
It's new podcast Monday and we have a full boat of topics in this episode.
In this week's episode NinJaSistah and Pandalicious discuss some of the animated DC Comic movies that have been released lately as well as many of the DC based animated series and their impact on the mid-20-something crowd. The conversation that switches to some of the live action flicks including the Marvel options and then Pandalicious grabs the mic to talk movies.
First up are Panda's post-viewing thoughts on the new "Where the Wild Things Are" movie, including who the best audience for the movie is and IS NOT. Then she moves on to "Law-Abiding Citezen" staring the very sexy [very Scottish] Gerard Butler. Finishing out the hour is NinJaSistah's post-mortem on the EA/Double Fine game Brütal Legend.
In this episode of the podcast, the ladies chat about various gaming news items and answer a couple of audience questions, and it's a good ride. We have another "what should I be for halloween" question, a question about the upcoming 2010 "Alice in Wonderland" release, and revisit how being being financially strapped in our youths has shaped how we purchase games in our adult lives from SlimTaurus78.
Randomness doesn't escape the show, once again the Vampire/Daywalker/Twilight debate rears it's ugly head but it is counter balanced by upcoming video game releases for the month of October, the anime series "Alice Academy" and Pandalicious rounds out the hour with her late impressions of Call of Duty 4.
Here is a better way to give you the gist of what this episode is like:
Let's Give Twilight the Silver Bullet
I Want to Spit Love, Peace, and Acid
ESHmom, sign This - Don't Read, Just Sign
Is Jay-Z Beyonce-Whipped?
Where Bastards Are Found, Wenches Always Follow
and finally
Soap McTavish Is Not the Scottish Version of Irish Spring
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
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
We have a bunch to cover in this one folks, there's The Beatles Rock Band, followed by the Guitar Hero 5 debacle between Courtney Love and Activision, and the pending DJ Hero title looming on the horizon. We tackle all these topics in the episode as well as a non complete spoiler review of the movie "Gamer" fresh on the heels of it's theatrical debut.
For an idea of what this episode is like, here are the titles we didn't use:
Next: Kurt Cobain in Space Channel 5
Just to Make It Clear - It's Beatles Music
Come Together Means a Whole Different Thing to Pandalicious
Courtney Loves' Next Twitter Message: FML
It's Like Tron Meets the Running Man
The Only Message Gamers Understand Is "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"
We aren't talking punch and pie, we are talking uppercuts and decks to the face in this episode of the podcast. I should clarify that statement. Pandalicious is talking uppercuts and face decking, NinJaSistah mostly just tries to stay out of the way.
In this episode of the podcast Pandalicious lays bare her tale of woe concerning the temporary loss of her XBox Live account, and how the lack of connecting is affecting her life. From the bounce around treatment of customer care reps on both the XBox Live email and phone support, and quick response from the Windows Live ID groups to the soon-to-be-catch-phrase-of-the-end-of-summer, "...and then you get punched in the face!" Calling her segment a rant doesn't do it justice.
Bringing a little bit of tranquillity back to the show, NinJaSistah adds some gadget/peripheral stuff to the mix like Ion Audio's new $199 DrumRocker Core Rock Band kit as well as some info on the new Star Wars comics coming to an iTunes store [and Dark Horse hopes] and iPod/iPhone near you. Capping off the hour is a bit on the Square Enix PSP title Final Fantasy Dissidia and a heads up for your PAX attendees on a Tekken 6 tournament for prizes that you should jump on.

Oh yeah! It's the beginning of the week, so you know we have to hit you with a new episode of the podcast right?
In this episode of the podcast, Pandalicious kicks the show off with what she took away from the new Tarantino flick "Inglourious Basterds," followed by some open conversation about the Rock Band support for the Lips wireless microphones as well as the new PS3 slim. Then we back the conversation up to games and NinJa jumps in with quick reactions to both Live Arcade titles Trials HD and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled.

The PS3 Slim Is No McLovin
and finally,

We got a great question a while back from Trinity Angel and finally got a hold of it and a great round table to talk about it. So we kick the episode off right talking about MMORPG's and how they do or do not translate well on to consoles. Then NinJa jumps in to chat about the pending Marvel Alliance II game, nerds out on comics for a second or two and then Pandalicious swings the convo around towards the new season of The Guild with avid gamer and social media addict Felicia Day.
We had a great time, and a great discussion, if you want proof here are some of the titles we didn't use for this one:
90 Seconds of Awesome, 70 Hours of Drudgery
There's Massively Multiplayer, But 256 Is Ridiculously Multiplayer

This Monday, we have a special new episode of the ESH podcast. In this episode we welcome our very own King Baby Duck to the hosting chair to talk a bit about his new team project, The Boston Bastard Brigade, among other things.
Those other things include EA's The SIMS 3, the new Gears of War 2 DLC, and some knee jerk reactions to the Batman: Arkham Asylum demo available via both the XBox Marketplace and the PSN store. Pandalicious even chimes in with her impressions of the new Xbox experience preview including the Avatar Store, Netflix parties, and even some games on demand stuffs.
We are chock full of laughs, tangents, and maybe a Naruto dig or two. To give you an idea of what this show is like, here are some of the titles we didn't use for this episode:
What Did Cake Ever Do To Her?
I'm Gonna Touch It - No, I'm Not

Avatar Marketplace - Isn't That What Started the Civil War?
The Ninja girl came down with an abominable case of laryngitis that she just could not shake, so it was left to Pandalicious and Evermore to put together a great show. Would they be able to pull it off? What kind of show would they produce? First of all, of course they would pull it off, they are awesome and "B" it would almost have to be a clip show ya silly.
It's a cutting room floor show ladies and gents, featuring all previously un-aired ESH bits like an audience question from Jerel Smith, some Portal and Portal 2 talk from Episode 107 and even Ultimate Quest podcast host Xenocore's top 5 anime series to learn by. There is a bunch of fun tid-bits, extra tangents, and as always cursing and laughter.
No joking here folks, the heavens themselves moved in order to get Milk-chan from Ultimate Quest on this week's new podcast episode.
Once more, the ladies run this thang and it's funny as hell.
Pandalicious kicks the show off with her impressions of the XBLive community game 1 vs. 100 game and then Milk and NinJa chime in with some comic-con stuff which leads us down the path to COSplay. In case you didn't know, all roads lead to COSplay... and Zelda. Milk chairs the topic of Twilight Princess and adds the fun of Majora's Mask multiplayer.
We let the COSplay get the best of us, but NinJaSistah ends the tangent line by bringing it back to gaming and talking a bit about the upcoming NXE updates due to hit the Xbox dashboard this August, including the upcoming Avatar Marketplace and Netflix Parties. This podcast is chock full of awesome folks, so sit back and enjoy it!
The gals took the weekend off and left Evermore to his own devices [meaning Adobe SoundBooth and Final Cut Pro] to Frankenstein together another one of his infamous ESH clip shows!
There is music, there are interviews from some of our E3 booth stops, and maybe even a nugget or two of fun. From Warner Bros. Batman: Arkham Asylum to my Beatles: RockBandinterview with Creative Director Josh Randall. from Harmonix and more. [Can you say Heavy Rain walkthrough? What about Ratchet and Clank: walkthrough.]
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.
The terrible trio -- Ninjasistah, Pandalicious and Xenocore join forces this week to talk about movies good and bad in this week's new podcast.
And while they all think the new Ghostbusters game is going to be great, there's also discussions about not-so-good game-to-film transfers, such as Super Mario Bros., and plumb rotten anime-to-film turkey such as Speed Racer.
Want to know how fun this episode is? Get a load of the rejected titles:
-- That's the Sound of the Men Working on the Chain Bang
-- Witless for the Prosecution
-- That Gives a Whole New Meaning to Judicial Discovery
-- People from Teas Whould Argue With Your Definition of "Talking Nahmul"
-- Simply Beating a Dead Horse Is Not the Manufacturing Process to Create Glue
-- Judge Panda Rules "Not Pwnd!"
-- This Trailer Smells Like Astro Boy
-- Sometimes Fire Works -- They Should Have Fired Michael Bay
-- A Better Movie Would Have Been John Goodman and a Monkey
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.
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
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.
With Pandalicious on assignment at Anime Boston and Ninjasistah off on some kind of ninja mission Evermore is left to his own devices which only means one thing: CLIP SHOW!
This one doesn't disappoint. The cutting room floor is part of our secret stash. It contains a lot of content that we end up cutting out of shows due to running our mouths too long, getting caught saying things we shouldn't, and tangents that just don't make a freaking bit of sense. Evermore has collected a few of his more favorite sound bytes from the cutting room floor content and put it together in a very entertaining episode. Featuring former show co-host MagicMysticGrl, Xenocore from Ultimate Quest and the sistahs' I urge you to kick back and enjoyEpisode 147: The Sistahs From the Cutting Room Floor.
Got a piping hot fresh episode of our humble little podcast for your listening pleasure, hit the jump to learn more.
Xenocore from Ultimate Quest joins us on the mic to talk a bit about anime series that drop some knowledge or substantial amount of reality on the viewer as well as those that don't. [yeah Overman King Gainer, I'm looking at you!]Pandalicious chimes in with her opinions on the Nintendo DSi title Rhythm Heaven and how it can be productive while addictive at the same time, and then there is NinJaSistah.
Riding a crazy wave of dual Mt. Dew regular and Mt. Dew Throwback Ninja is all over the place in the episode [causing a lot to be cut out, by the way] and yet somehow manages to get on topic chatting about Sony's recent fiscal earnings announcement and how it may affect creativity and individuality throughout the industry.
When you take a gander at some of the titles we didn't use for this episode, you understand why you have to listen to it. We passed on things like:
The Many Degrees of Layitude
I Manga Like a MoFo
Longer, Better, Faster, Harder - Normally, Panda Wouldn't Mind That
It's time to enjoy another new ESH podcast episode folks, and this one stays fairly well focused which is a bit out of the norm for us.

From Pandalicious' tales of the weird and wacky world of Hetalia to NinJaSistah's Mt. Dew fueled awkwardness throughout the hour, this episode of the podcast is a great way to kick off year 3 of the ElectricSistaHood show. So grab your warm and or frosty beverage of choice and enjoy ESH podcast episode 144: It Might Not Be the Best, But It's the Bessssssst

The gals answer some of your questions, on both the anime and game tip, talk a bit about Lego Rock Band, the DragonBall movie how easy it is ignore superheroes alter egos, and one of the weirdest anime series I have ever heard of before, "Kyoran Kazoku Nikki." Seriously, it's a weird one only Pandalicious can love.

and to top it off
If You Can't Put Your Finger On It, You're Not Going to Please Anyone
This episode of the podcast starts with a disclaimer and correction of information by Pandalicious with what's up [and more importantly not up] with her and DPL host DerrickH. Once she gets that off her chest, we get on with the business at hand and first up is the plight of The Pirate Bay copyright infringement lawsuit ruling, which starts off with a Pirates Vs. Ninjas debate. [Ninja's win by the way] We then segue into The Beatles: Rockband gushings, the current surge of western influenced or designed RPG's and even some anime with the multi-WTF-moment-creating series Peach Girl.
We only had a few alternate titles for this episode like, "More Douche Than a Daytime Drama," and "Ace Is the Place for Girls With Low Self Esteem." It was ridiculously fun to record, so grab your morning motivation and enjoy ridiculously ESH Podcast Episode 142: The Truth Burns Like Gin (It Does)
It's Monday once again so that means it's time for a new episode of the ESH podcast, and this episode the gals talk both anime and game as well as recap some previous podcast episode stuff.
We start off answering audience questions, recap some left over comments from the G.I. Joe movie, and then dig into the nuts and bolts that make up the anime series Overman King Gainer
From perception issues with being black, female, and down with the technology stuff to how to best take advantage of when the StayPuft Marshmallow Man finally comes to claim his puffy vengeance. Normally at this time I would hit you with the list of titles we didn't use, but what is most important is getting down to the good stuff.
...Gimme dat podcast! Okay, it's not as catchy as this, but I had to grab your attention to remind you that we have a new episode of the ESH podcast ready for you now.
You can yell at me for the song being stuck in your head later.
In this episode of the podcast, we talk about all kinds of crazy stuff from the rampant ravishing of our treasured entertainment pasts to create feature length film like the upcoming Tekken movie and G.I. Joe movie to the classic game title Bubble Bobble which is currently available as Wiiware. Both NinJaSistah and Pandalicious answer some audience questions, including one from Bootleg Pete as well as promote the Gamer Daily News Spring Cleaning event, and then cap off the hour with the manga turned anime series Rideback

Oh yeah, we talk a bit more about the lack of mature and "seasoned gamer" titles on the Wii platform as well.

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
Monday brings with it yet another new episode of the ESH podcast, and in this episode we explore the game that got us started on the podcast as well as a few that keep us gaming.
If you haven't been with us from the beginning of our podcast life, then you may not know that the first game we ever talked about in internet audio form was the Squeenix title Kingdom Hearts 2. Shame on you. Ok, we can't stay mad at you, stop pouting. I am both proud and sad to say that it has taken an audience member question 135 episodes later for us to bring it back up again as main topic in the show...so bravo Ariel for getting us going for a bit on this show. 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.
It's a classic random ESH podcast episode, and the proof is in the pudding... hear are some of the titles that we didn't use for the show
It Took 135 Episodes, But We Finally Talk About Kingdom Hearts Again
In this episode of the podcast the gals weigh in on the XBox Live profile banning issue that has been in the news lately as well share some quick impressions of the upcoming game Eat Lead.
It's not all serious on this episode, but we do end up on the soapbox for a bit. Need a better idea of what the episode is like? Check out a couple of the titles we passed on to name this episode:
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
I have decided from now on to call new podcast day Funday from now on, and this Funday promises to leave no laugh behind.
With a bit of a miscommunication between talent wranglers, Pandalicious and NinJaSistah are left to their own devices and the usual quirkiness ensues. From Oprah, Obama, the T&A of Lara Croft, video game development cycles, the new Street Fighter movies back around to new console game demos there are few things that escape the conversation this week.
To give you an idea of how this episode of the podcast twists and turns, here are the nominated titles for the episode:
Milk-Chan, Inquiring Minds Want To Know
Time To Break Out The Plastic Underpants

If you don't know by now, Monday morning always brings a case of the "Monday's," a disease that affects more than 3 in every 4 people, and the only cure that we've found is to take a dose of a new ESH Podcast episode.
I'm serious. Our podcast has healing abilities. If you are sad or un-happy just listening to the ESH podcast can help clear away some of that sadness. In this episode of the podcast the sistah's chat about the online MMO World of Warcraft: Return of the Lich King, MMO community pros and cons,the difference between existing in a game and playing it, the 3rd person action shooter Gears of War 2 and chat about the new touch screen phones... innovation or just trying to bite into the iPhone style?
If you need an idea of what this episode turned out like, just check out this list of titles that we didn't use:
Hat Trick? Sounds More Like A Snot Trick

May the Monday morning new podcast episode of victory be with you... and also with you, but not that guy behind you. He's kinda creeping me out.
In this episode the sistahs talk about the driving forces behind anime franchises with a focus on the Gundam series, specifically Mobile Suit Gundam 00. We also talk a bit about the eastern animation style influence moving west and the New Xbox Experince interface. [NXE in the heezy fo sheezy]

and finally

Monday morning creeps around again, so the sistah's got to gabbing again to create a new episode of the ESH podcast for you. And this one is another single topic-er.
We couldn't think of a better way to herald the return of NinJaSistah to the East Coast the girls get together to chit-chat about Fable 2. Actually, first they talk about Fable, then Fable 2, open environment games, and action RPG's, and a bunch of stuffs surrounding the Lionhead Studios titles.
I'll warn you now, there are a bunch of spoilers to go around in this episode if you haven't finished either title, so you may want to download this episode and wait until you finish your game before you listen to this one. Don't say I didn't warn you. Seriously, look at the titles that we didn't use for the episode:
You Can Kick Chickens and It Doesn't Affect Your Purity
He Shoots Your Sister, Then He Shoots Your Dog...Bastard
Fable 2 Teaches the Horror of Eating Meat
I Want My Dog Back, I Really Don't Care About My Sister
Monday brings along with it a new episode of the ESH podcast, and since NinJa had an at bat on an episode all her own, we had to give Panda equal time on this network.
Ok, so we aren't a network yet, but we are growing in that general direction so stop raining on our parade already. Pandlicious spends a little time in this episode sharing her top 5 picks for best songs featured in Rock Band 2 by MTV Games/EA/Harmonix. By now you should have a firm grasp on how much the sistah's love the Rock Band but if you don't, just make a run through of our past posts and podcast for the last two months. You will lose count of the amount of times we talk about this game, so one more won't hurt.
While I won't give away the list [what will make you listen to the episode if I type it all up here, eh?] I will tell you that it features some great all around songs folks... including stuff by Jonathan Coulton.
It's not a full crew episode, nor is it a top 5, this episode is all NinJaSistah, and it's all rant.
I've pulled together all my thoughts about the last few video game trade show events that I've gone to and created nearly an hour of the good, the bad, the ugly, and hopefully the fixes that are needed to truly make tradeshows accessible, fun, and educational for all.
To give you an idea of the paths this episode goes down, here are some of the titles I didn't pick for it:
The E3 Gods Must Be Crazy
CES: Where The Elite Meet To Deceit
Fair and Balanced: It's Not Just A Slogan... It's A Phrase
If you're a long-time listener of the ESH podcasts, you'll find this one has a completely different feel. That's because this episode was recorded absolutely live at the E For All show this past weekend.
Ninjasistah appeared live at the show, along with guests Loserly from Dead Pixel Live and April Carlson and Mandie Bettencourt from Girls Got Game, who discuss the true integration of girls and gaming sites.
Pandalicious represents, as usual, by talking about her fear of upcoming live-action movies made of her favorite anime stories. And MagicMysticGrl shows up after a long absence to talk about everything .hack.
Here are the headlines that were rejected for this one:
Working Part-Time, 43 Hours a Week
In Anime, Girls Will Be Girls, and So Will Boys
When Microphone Positioning Becomes Erotic
Panda Has a Filter, She Just Has to Remember to Put It On
High School Musical? These Guys Are Old Enough to Take the GED
The start of the week brings another new episode of the ESH podcast, and this week 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 and her messed up foot. But neither the pain nor giddiness of the two keeps them 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
It's already "that time" of the week again...time for the ESH crew to drop a new episode of the podcast on you to help kick your week off right!
NinJaSistah and Pandalicious once again hold the hour down talking about games and generally entertaining topics ranging from rhythm games in general to the final on disc track listings of Activision'sGuitar Hero: World Tour, Harmonix's Rockband 2, and Konami'sRock Revolution. Somehow David Bowie makes it into the conversation again as well as incest which is mostly Panda's fault for bringing Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise to the table.
We didn't have a long list of titles to choose from this week, but if you want an idea of how the show stacks up to the others, one title on the list was "no pants, no WoW, no problem." That's all I got for you folks, so grab your morning or evening drink and enjoy podcast episode 113: Rhythm Games Gonna Get Cha!
So, the Penny Arcade Expo is now over and I'm bushed, but it is Monday so I had to hit you guys with a special episode of the ESH podcast created by yours truly.
I got to spend a bunch of time on the show floor all over the place and see some great stuff over the past three days and collected all my thoughts onto this nice little show. From the XBox experience to RockBand 2, I have seen so much crap that it's all running together, but the most important piece of the show was that I was able to see and touch all the things you wish you could have if you were able to be in Seattle yourself.
I talked to MajorNelson and N'Gai for you. They say hi.
In this episode of the podcast the girls talk about the anime series "SpeedGrapher," mis-steps and corrections that SCEA can make with the PS3 to recapture the bulk of the gamer market, things that make Panda want to punch babies in the face, EA games, PAX, PAX preparations, the fact that Pandalicious is not going to PAX but NinJa is, "Watchmen" the movie versus the graphic novel, and more. Don't believe me, check out the titles we didn't use for the show.

Monday is here again, and so is a new episode of the ESH podcast. The girl team is complete on this one so expect randomness galore this hour and change.
The episode kicks off with Pandalicious and MagicMystic discussing how they came to love and specialize on the topics they, well, are experts on here at camp ESH. [In case you are new to the game, Panda shows anime some love while Magic takes us down the dark and [every once and a while] psychotic path of manga. While the girls chat about their passions and influences toward them, Ninja tries to keep up by hanging back in the corner.
When the dust settles, NinJaSistah jumps into the conversation to talk about the resurgence of the Science Fiction genre in mainstream entertainment and the pros and cons of it's new found popularity. It's another weird and wacky episode guys, check out the titles we didn't use for this one:
Off-Topic's the Best Place to Be
if I Had Known, I Would Have Worn Pants @ M4M Night

If you ever sit and ponder on the idea of people of a young-ish age drinking, let this new episode of the ESH podcast be the proof you need to "just say nay!"
This week, MagicMystic returns and brings with her balance to the force while Panda and Ninja enjoy some adult juice before, during, and probably after the episode.
This episode starts with Ninja talking about the new XBLive Arcade title Go! Go! Break Steady that she keep calling "Go! Go! Beat Street" reports on some of the feelings around the industry about E3, and the hopefully triumphant return of the fighting genre on the back of Soul Calibur IV. Magic chimes in with her new found XBox-y goodness and general discovery of "the new" as she shares first impressions of her new XBox 360 Elite as well as latent desires for an XBLive account, and then Panda brings up the rear and talks about the anime and manga series, Full Metal Panic. The gals are back to normal and completely off topic as usual.
Here are some of the random things said during the show that could have been used as titles, but weren't:
Wallmart, Baby Come Back!
The Big "E" Is Big
MagicMystic Is Back, And Out Of The Closet
Jobless Wonder To The Rescue-ish
It's Not The Size of Your GamerScore, But How You Use It
Who doesn't like new podcast episode Monday? Productive people that's who. Let us help you start your week off on the unproductive tip with this episode of our podcast.
Sans MagicMystic yet again, the sistah's stick to the gaming topic covering both the new and upcoming starting with Panda's take on the game Project Origin and Ninja sharing some of what she was able to take away from the assorted E3 coverage.
From talking about the survival horror game genre to specific experiences with titles like Manhunt and Silent Hill to the thriller-chiller types including the "I don't think NinJa is ever going to finish it" BioShock game. Ninja talks God of War 3, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Portal 2, and Oneechanbura.
It's another one of our lively podcast episodes people, here are some of the titles we decided not to use to name it:
Don't. Stop. Waitin' Fer RockBand 2, Yeah

Videogame Word of the Year: Booty
E3 Didn't Want Me? Well, They're Not Invited to My Place Either
We Have Nothing To Fear But the Sequel to Fear Itself
It's hard to explain the title until you listen to the episode, but trust me this new episode of the ESH podcast is quite the piece of work.
In this episode of the podcast, the sistah's run the video game, entertainment and anime gauntlet from the audience choice re-review of the anime series Angel Sanctuary to new games on the E3 horizon. Would it be an ESH podcast if we didn't talk about incest, angst, mentioning Bioshock or complaining about videogames/comic titles being turning into feature length films? I don't think so. To give you a better idea of how the episode turned out, here are the titles we didn't choose:
Sucked Into a Portal of Happiness
God Knows, Even In His Sleep

I Love Her, So I Need to Kill Her
The Sex Scenes Are Pretty Cool, Just Pretend They're Not Related

I hope you guys and gals from the land of ESH had a happy and safe holiday weekend. I know I did, and I'm pretty sure that Panda did. Today we have another NinJa/Panda podcast episode where NinJa goes a bit in depth on the video game GRID and Panda shares some of her first impressions on the Diablo 3 announcement. It's a nearly all video game fun-packed episode, that you should totally pick up right now.
Don't believe me, here are some of the titles we decided not to use that came from the episode:
Do You Question My Skills? (When don't I?)
You Shouldn't Rape Your Tech They Can't Say "No."
The Story of a Ninja Called Spanky
ESHDog Cannot Be Controlled

If She's Got Multiple Boobies, Who's Looking At Her Face?
If You Think That Anal Leakage Is Bad, Guess What Her Armpits Do
Monday brings with it yet another episode of the ESH podcast, and in this one the sistahs' steal the limelight and hold it hostage for about an hour.
NinJaSistah takes the mic first this go 'round to speak on a topic near and dear to her heart, Ninja Gaiden II. From new visuals, lamest ninja name ever, to best and worst aspects of initial gameplay NinJa brings the sexy black. I mean back.
Then Pandalicious talks about her newly addicted Wii Fit experience. The yoga that is easy, what the game is and is not, and how it affects her daily life. MagicMystic chimes in a time or too before having to head out early. All in all, it's one of our normal, wacky shows. Here are some of the episode titles we rejected:
It Helps If You're Nimble and Omnicient
From The Look Of The Ninja Gaiden Girls You'd Think Goodyear Was The Sponsor
Lamest Name For A NinJa: Joe
AI Can Be A Sneaky Bastard
No, The Dog Didn't Eat Panda's Homework
And Then She Mentioned Richard Simmons' Weiner

In this episode of the podcast the girls talk a bit about nearly every entertainment medium. We gots a bit of manga, a bit of anime, some feature film stuff all topped off with video game shizzole.
Pandalicious kicks off the show talking about the anime series Hell Girl based off of the manga of the same name. She and Magic go back and forth a bit exploring what works and what doesn't in the series. MagicMystic then shares her impressions of the new Hulk movie and NinJaSistah closes out the show talking about E3.
To give you an idea of the kind of show we had, here are the titles we rejected:
NinJa Can't Fly, But She Can Jump to Conclusions

LAUNCH The podcast kicked off in 2006 with the first episode being released on May 3rd, and we have been cranking them out ever since. Over 100 total released shows [We have done a bunch of My Top Fives people] ESH has really grown into something unexpected, but ultimately an insane amount of fun to do.
 In this episode of the podcast we talk about how we got to be two years old.
CHANGE I launched the site in April of 06 as SplendidBlunder.com. Originally, the idea was to have a space on the web to create, post, mix, and remix other people’s GarageBand projects. It was going to be a playground for Panda and I, and while we were having all of our conversations about the setup, we kept wasting time talking about Video games and anime.
GROWTH We realized quickly that we wouldn’t be able to do just the site or the podcast alone, and began recruiting our more than geeky friends to join the family. The first recruit was MagicMystic, then came Evermore, MonkeyDoo, Douceswild, GeekWoman, madameRoslin, theAdmiral, colonelPanic, and most recently KingBabyDuck. We started out small, with only 1000 people on average hitting the site, and now, we do quite a bit better. I figure it has to be the crazy that keeps them coming back, because there is definitely nothing out there like us.
We will be making autographed DVD’s featuring all of the podcast episodes over the last two years available on the ESH site shortly.
Being Monday, we had to hit you with a new episode of the podcast... but this one probably should have been left in the oven a bit longer.
Poor Pandalicious has having some serious internet issues which left Evermore with a hell of a job editing a show together, but they pulled it off pretty damn well if you ask me. In this episode of the podcast, Panda shares her top five video games of 2008 [so far] with you. There are a couple of honorable mentions and a list that I only have a single problem with. Let's see if you can guess which game gives me the heebie geebies.
You say you want a revolution, well, you know... we aren't here to change the world. Monday still equals new podcast episode day, and I don't see that changing anytime too soon.
In this episode of the podcast, the girls cover the popular creative peoples website, "Deviant Art" as well as the anime series "Vampire Knight" and examine the possible effect GTA IV may have on the national release of the "Iron Man" film. We are chock full of something on this episode people, and I think it just may possibly be caffeine. Don't quote me on that one though, just check out the titles we didn't use for this episode and draw your own conclusions:
OC BC Does Not Equal AC/DC
Everyone Is Social On Da InterWebs
He Wasn't Worth Remembering
I Heart Vampiress (And They Heart, Hearts
We Have Angst With A Little More Angst On The Side
A T-Rex Mobster? ow Does He Tie A Windsor Knot?
I'm More Isolated Than Ever ON The InterWebs
Don't Trust Mean People...That's What They WANT You To Do!
and

In this episode of the podcast NinJasistah kicks off her editorial piece on the good, the hrm, and the wickedly awesome tip for video game franchises with her take on Super Smash Brothers. Pandalicious jumps in the mix to talk about the anime series Soul Eater a weird and dark tale that Panda swears can be liked to the bastard child of Bleach and One Piece. [Yeah, try to get that image out of your head.] But don't think we don't have some randomness for you. We work a little Paranoia Agent, Death Note,and even a couple of references to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Don't trust me? Check out the titles we didn't use:

While Pandalicious tastes the goodness of Anime Boston, NinjaSistah decided to delve into her collection of downloadable content for Guitar Hero III and Rock Band. And she pulled out her Top 5 faves for this week's podcast.
Exactly which ones did she pull out of there? Well, you're going to have to actually listen to the thing in order to find out. I'm not telling you here. But let me just say that I think you're going to be pleased with her selections.
In the meantime, Panda's been blogging about her Anime Boston experience, and she'll be back next week to reveal all the details. So enjoy this week's special podcast topic from NinjaSistah: My Top 5 Guitar Hero/Rock Band Downloads.
Pandalicious shares some musings about viral video treasure trove YouTube, FUNimation channel getting itself out of the rerun doldrums, and self buttering popcorn. [you'll just have to listen to find out more about that one] Then NinJaSistah jumps in to add the sprinklings of gaming news including some first impressions on Legendary, and MagicMystic rounds out the show with another review of an edgy manga title. This title is hard to describe so I'll just give you the name...Deadman Wonderland.

In this episode, Pandalicious and NinJaSistah hold down the show chit chattin' about the anime [based off of a harem video game] They Are My Noble Masters and the influence of eastern culture on western culture and back again through the video medium. We get a little deep on the discussion end, and them come back to being the normal chaotic prattle that we usually give you.

Then MagicMystic chimes in with her thoughts on the very, very sugary anime series Shugo Chara by TV Tokyo. Not to be left out, NinJaSistah chimes in with some gaming news updates and continues on the sugary sweet anime series Sorcerer Hunters.

We're a little late on the draw this week, but it's for a good reason. After a few months of being under the weather, both NinjaSistah and Pandalicious need a little extra time off, so we're extending the time between podcasts just a tiny bit. Thus, you're getting the new program on a Wednesday (instead of the previous Monday), and the next one will be out a week from Monday (President's Day). So give this episode a listen.
In this episode, the Sistahs are together once again, as Panda makes the long trip down to ESHington for Ninja's birthday. And all that noise in the background? It's ESH Mom making the bed, of course!
The topics for this week's show: OMG Headsets and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
We know how much you love reading the rejected titles and listening to the podcast to see how we came up with them. Here they are:
In this episode, the gals get together to talk about, well, a little bit of everything. From Pandalicious sharing some of her thoughts on the anime Paradise Kiss, then on to MagicMystic exposing us to the Persona: Trinity Soul anime, and then NinJaSistah talking about sex in video games, Devil May Cry 4 and the passing of actor Heath Ledger.
It is a rollercoaster ride of an episode this week; lots of highs and lows, lots of tangents. If you don't believe me, just take a look at the titles we rejected:
It's What ESH Mom Wants Everyone To Know
Anime Dude Looks Like A Lady
There's Angst Everywhere

In this new episode of the ESH podcast MagicMystic returns to the show [finally] to add a little manwa up in this piece with Banya: The Explosive Delivery Man. Pandalicious pokes her nose into the show and shares her experiences with Scene It: Lights, Camera, Action on the XB360, and NinJaSistah rounds out the hour with the affect Mass Effect has had on her while she's been playing it.
To get an idea of what's going on in this episode, here are the titles we didn't use:
Just before NinjaSistah flew out to Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronic Show this weekend, she and Pandalicious recorded a new podcast.
Pandalicious talks about a creepy new anime called "Ghost Hound." It doesn't contain ghosts (at least, not Casper-style ghosts) and it doesn't have any hounds, either, but Panda insists it's worth watching.
NinjaSistah discusses several topics, including last week's Xbox Live outage, some free Rock Band tracks (but Playstation players are out of luck), God of War 3 and the HD movie format wars.
And, as usual, there are plenty of rejected titles for this episode:
Three Guys, a Girl and Their Suicidal Thoughts
Anime's Psychic Friends Network
Alien Butt Babies Make You Make an Ass of Yourself
It's that time of the week again, it's new podcast time... and believe me, it's a good one.
In this week's episode Pandalicious talks about the anime series Lucky Star and mowei anime in general while NinJaSistah shares her top disappointing games of 2007 and her highest hopes for 2008. It's a fun filled hour once again in the land of ESH and if you don't believe me, here's the titles we didn't use for this episode:
Two Words: Santa NinJa
Mowei! Mowei! Mowei! How Do You Like It? How Do You Like It?
In this weeks episode, Pandalicious make her return to the show to talk about the hermit syndrome becoming ever more popular in mainstream anime while NinJaSistah puts her focus on Soul Calibur: Legends on the Wii and new Ninja Gaiden II and Devil May Cry 4 trailers.
Oh yeah, the girls share some RockBand tips as well. For a better idea how the show runs over the hour, here are the rejected episode titles:
Anime Hermits Don't Cause Anal Leakage
Gingerbread Parties Rock
Rape is Not the Type of Thing We Should Be Pushing This Season
Looking For Hair Pie in Devil May Cry
Everyone's Losing Their Drawers These Days
and

It's Monday people, so it's time once again for a new episode of the ESH podcast. This week the sistah drop on you N00b Sauce, That's On Aisle 42.
In this week's episode the sistah's talk about the anime series Colorful, the Sci-Fi channels take on the Wizard of OZ mini-series Tin Man, and the newly released Geometry Wars: Galaxies from Vivendi Games. Yes, this episode [like all others] is chock full of tangents, rants, raves, asides, and all the other stuff we cram into an hour. If you need more convincing, here are the titles we didn't use to describe this week's episode:
How do I compete With Koktitz
We Need More Estrogen In This Biznatch
ESH To CES: We Knock Things Up!

Anime takes center stage in this week's ElectricSistaHood podcast as Pandalicious discusses Pumpkin Scissors and NinjaSistah talks about Venus Vs. Virus.
What Pandalicious doesn't mention about Pumpkin Scissors is that you can get some exclusive wallpapers right here on the ESH website. Go take a look for yourself.
In addition, NinjaSistah talks about the Tinman mini-series on SciFi Network, which reimagines L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." She also discusses the Bladestorm game and the upcoming CES show in Las Vegas. Finally, Pandalicious goes on a little tirade about a certain Kid Nation participant.
Here are the titles that we tossed out:
Don't Drink and Podcast
Partying Pandas Have a Lot In Common With Tara Reid
Blondes Have More Nobility
Randle Doesn't Need a Tank To Fulfill Him
Some Characters In Pumpkin Scissors Do It Doggie-Style
The Sistahs believe in music, so there's been no greater season than this, with the release of Guitar Hero III and Rock Band, as you'll find out by listening to this week's podcast.
In addition to Rock Band, Ninjasistah and Pandalicious discuss the merits of Assassin's Creed and announce the winner of the Halo 3 Ultimate Edition sweepstakes.
In the heat of doing the podcast, the Sistahs can't come up with the names of any fat rockers. Here are the names of at least six of them (see if we've missed any):
1. Leslie West of Mountain ("Mississippi Queen") 2. Meatloaf 3. David Crosby 4. Jack Black 5. Mark Volman of The Turtles ("Happy Together") 6. Jerry Garcia
And here are the titles we turned down for this episode:
It's time to give thanks to the Sistahs for their annual advice on what videogames, anime and manga to give for the coming holiday season as they present their gift guide on this week's podcast.
Not only do they tell you what to give, they also tell you what not to give as well. We don't want to give it all away, but surprisingly enough, the PS3 is not on either list this year.
In this episode of the podcast, NinJaSistah finishes up her thoughts on Guitar Hero 3 with Pandalicious adding a thought or two, followed by her account of the PS3 title Folklore. Then the subject changes to the anime series When They Cry and the tragic sadness that then follows Panda around for the rest of her days. Yes, it's a fun filled hour and some change! So grab your morning cup-a-joe and enjoy Episode 74: Watering Taco Equals Dangerous!
Oh yeah, here are the titles we didn't pick to describe this episode.
The Midgets That Fly In Vegas, Stay In Vegas
Folklore? More Like FolkBORE!
Even Prescription Drugs Wouldn't Help These Guys
Don't Insert Folklore In Mouth, Or Anus
When Cicadas Cry Is NOT a Prince Song
Why Is Every Guy In Anime Named Keichi
If Bloody Intestines Aren't Creepy Enough, Just Wait!
There are Some Animes You Just Don't Watch With Mom
In The Alternate Universe, Everyone's Alive Again
I Can Watch The Version With Tacos
Santa, Panda Has Been A... Girl This Year.
Don't forget about the ESH Legendary Giveway! Some lucky bastid is going to win a copy of Halo3:Legendary Edition. Will YOU be that bastid?
This week the Sistahs cross their axes and do battle in garages, dives and giant amphitheaters as they compare notes (real and musical) in this week's podcast about Guitar Hero III.
Find out which songs are easy, which ones are hard and which ones took Ninjasistah and Pandalicious completely by surprise. They also offer valuable tips on just what to do (if you see it, just buy it) and what not to do (start on Medium level) when you start playing the game.
In this episode, we concentrate on the subjects the Sistahs love talking about most: videogame addiction, the controversy about violence in games, what it's like to be a girl gamer and the platform wars. And, of course, the sistahs talk about Boonga-Boonga.
Provocative as usual, the Sistahs bring you a new podcast episode for the week bearing the title "Celibate Is Not Celebratory."
Pandalicious kicks it off by crossing the words "tantalize" with "tittilate" to form a new word: "tantilate." What's caused this strange combination? Why, it's the hard-to-get (in America) anime series, "So Long, Mr. Despair." Panda liked it so much, she says it makes nooses funny.
Meanwhile, NinjaSistah is very disappointed in the latest installments in the Dynasty Warriors series. You simply won't believe what they've done to this vaunted series -- and you won't like it on the PS3 or the Xbox 360.
Being Monday and all, we have a new episode of the podcast for you, and this one is a sister-sister episode people.
In this episode of the podcast Pandalicious brings up the anime/manga series Claymore to talk about recurring themes in popular anime series today with NinJaSistah. Then NinJa picks up the M1KT to give you the 411 on game announcements and playable demos available at this year's E For All Expo Oh yeah, then she rants about the damn expo.
It's a passionate conversation at times, with a few of the tangents that you've come to expect from ESH podcasts. Here is the list of rejected podcast titles so you have an idea of what's in this episode:
This Isn't Like That
Seeper Eloot Half-Demon Bitches With Big Swords
Panda Turns On Her Inner Censor In The Nick of Time
Ghost Wad's A Completely Different Game
It's The 15-Hour Plane Ride Keeping NinJaSistah Away From The Tokyo Game Show
In this week's episode, the NinJa flies solo in order to share her top 5 picks for video games that should be turned into feature length films. The criteria for these picks were that they had to be games that had not yet been turned into feature length films, and they had to kick ass. When you listen to the selections she's made, see if you can picture the flicks in your mind.
It's just the two sistahs Pandalicious and NinJaSistah holding it down for episode 68. Pandalicious tries to help NinJaSistah wrap her mind around the anime series Nerima Daikon Brothers, and I emphasize the word tries. Then on the flipside of the hour, NinJaSistah glosses over some of the news from the Tokyo Game Show and shares her first impressions of the PS3 title Heavenly Sword.
Yeap, it's a fun, and weird hour this week, and if you don't believe me, just check out the rejected titles for this weeks episode:

After reading that list of rejected titles, I'm sure you want to dive into this weeks episode. So, sit back, get your a cup of joe, and enjoy episode 68: Caffeine Plus Pandalicious Equals Bad Idea
Monday has once again sneaked up on us from behind with intentions of molesting your ears with a new episode of the ESH podcast.
I don't want to ruin it for you by going into too great of detail about this show right now, but Pandalicious leads off the hour with hands on review of Mario Party 8 on the Wii, and MagicMystic steps up to the M1KT to share her thoughts on Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3. Then NinJa closes out the podcast episode talking about the anime series Moon Phase, and the new Ninja Gaiden 2 trailer.
Oh yeah, we have a candy bitch. Congrats Ariel!!
Now, I give you, the rejected podcast episode titles:
It's Monday, so you know what that means... time for a new episode of the ESH podcast! And this time, we have a doosie of an episode for you.
In this episode, Pandalicious rants about the anime series School Rumble which happens to be a "romantic comedy" shonen while MagicMystic shares her thoughts on the manga series Flame of Recca. And no show would be complete without NinJaSistah ending out the show with some game news and or review, and this episode is no different. This week, NinJaSistah explores the popularity of classic games through online services like the Wii virtual console, XBLive, and the Sony Online Store. Don't forget the tangents. We sure didn't.
And don't forget, these unused titles that we threw out like an unwanted fetus.

Evermore's been at it again people. It's new podcast day, and this one is, well, special.
A new podcast creation has been assembled by that crazy robot while the ESH podcast crew takes a mini vacay. I would try to describe to you what you are about to hear, but I'm not sure I understand it all myself.
What I will say is enjoy podcast episode #65: Where Do I Buy Manga?
Once again, the sistahs have put together a fine show for you in Episode 63: Diction is Good, Addiction is Bad. Plus, if you linger just a little bit after the sistahs sign off, you'll be rewarded with a special little outtake.
In this episode, Pandalicious breaks out of WoW mode and talks about playing a new version of Final Fantasy 7, which is reimagined as a first-person shooter.
The sistahs get a little off-track and make a plea to all video game makers out there: Make a video game with a black hero! (And they're not talking about turning Oprah Winfrey into Lara Croft.)
Finally, Bio-Shock has Ninjasistah heading to the bathroom to clean herself up. And that's just the demo. Looks like the full-blown version might be a three-roller.
Here are the rejected titles for this week's episode:
It's Monday, so you know we had to put up a new episode of the podcast, right? And so we have... I give you Episode 62 of the ESH podcast!
In this episode of the podcast, the sistahs are all by themselves and spouting off about everything from Manhunt 2 to the PS3 price drop and the hot guy in a little coat manga God Child. We don't lack for tangents here in this episode of the podcast folks, so jump right in and sample the ESH goodness of Episode 62: It's Animated Violence FFS!
The Sistahs are in agreement about one thing about this week's podcast -- the topic is Naruto. And it's not just the anime series they talk about, but also the manga and the video games.
Downloads of Naruto art are among the most popular things on the ElectricSistaHood website, so it's natural that they finally devote a whole episode to the series. But the things they say! You'll just have to listen to the thing to get all the ESHland goodness as the Sistahs deliver Episode 60: The Topic is Naruto, But I Digress.
And for those of you who were wondering, here are the rejected titles for this week's podcast:
Our Naruto Episode Goes Into a TaleSpin
Naruto Sucks, But the Headband Is Cool
The Vice President Would Never Accidentally Shoot Naruto
In case you couldn't tell from the title of this item, it's new podcast day here at ESH, and boy oh boy have Pandalicious and NinJaSistah have something good in store for you!
This episode is good people. It's got good information, good tangents to roll down with, even a good old fashioned anime series review. In this episode Pandalicious reviews some "manly anime" at the request of one of the frESH peeps. Yeah Vichus, we heard you loud and clear man! Panda breaks down Blue Gender for you while NinJaSistah shares her take on the XB360 warranty extension, movie/video game tie-ins and their connection to major suckitude, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma review.
Ok, so I got a little distracted by my purdy new gadget [iPhone BITCH!] and sorta kinda forgot to post this weeks podcast episode. My bad homies, my bad.
That damn phone seduced me people. It lured me away from my most treasured responsibilities, and I'm sorry. I am weak in its presence... but here's the new episode of our podcast.
All three regular hosts hop on the cast this week to bring you some info about some cool and not so cool goings on in the worlds of anime and video games. First up at bat is Panda "Stop Saying I Have Herpes" licious who shares with us her experiences with the anime Hare+Guu, which [like many anime series] is very weird.
Magic "I Forgot About the Giant Ball Monster" MysticGrl chimes in at the number two slot to share with us EVEN MORE.Hack// goodness with us by imparting her sort of found wisdom from .Hack//roots.
And bringing up the rear [as usual in this weekly menage] is NinJa "Get a Twinkie, Cuz Yer Gonna Need Brain Food" Sistah dropping her 2cents on the whole Manhunt 2 debacle.
Yeap! Grab yourself a Twinkie and something to drink, Episode 55: Welcome to the Eyefor Towel is up and running!
Mmmm, Monday morning new podcast episode freshness coming right at ya folks!
The girls are back after a quick mini vacation with a new podcast episode that covers [among other things] the anime series Peach Girl, the works of Mayu Shinjo [including Akuma Na Eros and Love Celeb, and the XB360 title Bullet Witch.
Tune into this weeks episode to find learn more about all of that stuff plus get the answers to other questions. Questions like, are worms kosher? Does Pandalicious watch hentai with her mom? Can we go an episode without mentioning Bleach
So give Episode 52: The Darkness Tells Me To Hurt Puppies a listen, you'll enjoy it.
It's another Top 5 episode this week, proudly presented by frequent ESH contributor Douceswild. In this episode he gives his take on the Top 5 Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, or MMORPGs.
He's researched the field thoroughly, spending his own time and money to immerse himself in the worlds of the Matrix, Lord of the Rings, comic book superheroes and the World that is Warcraft.
Which one comes out on top? Well, you'll have to listen to the podcast yourself to find out, now won't you? I'm sure not giving it away.
Listen for yourself. We're sure you're gonna like it.
This episode is another gem in the ESH podcast cap people. We change up the order this week and kick the episode off with MagicMysticGrl's review of the anime series Kamichu!, a series that focuses on the main character learning one day that she's a god while Pandalicious and NinJaSistah compare and contrast their respective rocking experiences with Guitar Hero II on the PS2 and XB360. It's fun and full of tangets... it's Episode 50: Anything Stiff Can Be Broken!
Pandalicious kicks off the proceeding by explaining her fascination with Kodocha, an anime series that started out as a manga and then an OVA. MagicMysticGrl follows up with an examination of the manga Millennium Snow from author Bisco (or is it Crisco? Cisco?) Hatori. Finally, NinJaSistah sees just a little too much in the new video "game" Dead or Alive Xtreme 2, the follow-up to DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball.
It's got all the Sistah goodness you expect, so enjoy!
Do I even need to tell you it's new podcast episode day? I didn't think so, but I did it anyways, because that's the way I roll here at the sistahood. This weeks episode just happens to be titled, "Episode 48: I French Fried When I Should Have Pizza'd" and is ready for a listen.
In this episode of the podcast Pandalicious tackles the tricky subject of Jesus in anime as discussed by a panel she went to at AB2k7 while MagicMysticGrl shares some cosplay "Do's & Don'ts" with you lovely folks in hopes of making your con experiences [and ours] better. And bringing up the rear as always is NinjaSistah with her take on the Wii game SSX Blur by EA Big. The conversation is deep at times, and for the other sixty minutes it's the usual laugh riot that you're used to.
All in all it's just another funMONday here in the hood, so grab your morning cup o' joe and enjoy the show.
