    Do My Ladies Run This Mutha...

    posted @ 8/17/2009 08:00:00 AM by Ninjasistah
    Yes. Yes they do. In this new episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast, the ladies are joined by fellow AllGames Radio fam Loserly from Dead Pixel Live and fun and giggles ensue.

    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
    • They'll Be Back, Doing God-Knows-What to God-Knows-Who
    • With a Last Name Like Doom, This Doctor's Not Going to Follow the Hippocratic Oath
    • Stan Lee's Going to Be a Playable Character, Unlike Real Life
    • Panda Wants the Nipple Cut Out
    • When You're In It, You Don't Know How In It You're In
    • Everyone Knows You Can't Shoot Beams From Your Staff
    • Canadians Don't Need Jobs, They Need Beer
    • and finally
    • Even My Laptop Doesn't Want Me to Play WoW

    Told you it was a good one. Kick back, and enjoy ElectricSistaHood Podcast episode 159: His Game Made Us Hate Balls

    This Makes Me Happy

    posted @ 7/28/2009 12:46:00 PM by Ninjasistah
    I just got a Ubisoft news flash that is helping to make my day better. Ubi is working with Universal Pictures to create a Scott Pilgrim vs. The World video game.

    Because a movie, just isn't enough.

    If you've never checked out the "Pilgrim" comics, you really should. They are quite funny, and just outright fun to be honest. Scott Pilgrim is a slacker in a garage band who falls head over heels for this chick named Ramona and all Scott has to do to is defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends.

    I always thought that Pilgrim would make a fun video game, as each of Ramona's exes always seemed like a boss battle to me to start with, and you can't miss the large amount of video game references made throughout the comic series. I guess it should not come as a surprise that it had been optioned for a movie and make no mistake I'm looking forward to the movie as it has both the gal that played Bruce Willis' daughter in the last Die Hard movie Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona but also your favorite underdog and mine, Michael Cera a.k.a Evan from Superbad as Scott Pilgrim.

    There is a high probability for a trifecta of awesome here:
    Comic Books = Awesome
    Movie *may be* ≥ Awesome
    Video Game *I PRAY IS* ≥ Awesome

    Comics on the Go

    posted @ 5/05/2009 09:27:00 PM by Ninjasistah
    Dark Horse Comics today announced the launching of their mobile comic iPhone reader app featuring the Terminator: Death Valley! title.

    While I have never claimed to be a fan of the Terminator series, I am a fan of comics on the go, and the promise of other titles becoming available through the app, and you have my attention... and not just because I would love to have The End League on my phone. Dark Horse plans to make each comic episode available for $.99 cents a piece.

    Now if I could just get some of the DC properties on my phone... yeah D.C Comics I'm looking at you!

    Got Angst?

    posted @ 7/14/2008 08:00:00 AM by Ninjasistah
    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
    • Again With the Incest
    • I Love Her, So I Need to Kill Her
    • The Sex Scenes Are Pretty Cool, Just Pretend They're Not Related
    • Just Say "No" to Will Smith
    • Want to Beat Darth Vader? Smack James Earl Jones in the Face
    • It's Big. It's Black. and It Makes No Noise
    • My Only Real Complaint Is that It's Short
    • I Finally Took Out Ghandhi - I'm Not Proud to Say That
    • and
    • FYI: Incest Sends Your Soul to Hell

    So grab your morning or evening cup of joe and enjoy ESH Podcast Episode 105: This Is Fan Service...WITHOUT My Crotch

    Prototype Comic

    posted @ 4/16/2008 09:58:00 PM by Ninjasistah
    Sierra Entertainment and DC Comics have decided to partner up and create a comic book based on the upcoming Sierra/Vivendi title Prototype which looks FREAKIN' PHENOMENAL!

    In the game Prototype, the gamer controls the PC of Alex Mercer. Alex is a special boy. He's genetically altered [more like turned into a mutant of X-Men proportion] and now is shape-shifter of sorts. [a la Mystique] Alex has no memory of his past [a la Wolverine] and is,
    hell bent on solving the mystery of his existence...
    Yes, Alex is a special boy.

    The game is set in NYC and is developed as an open world game by the folks from Radical, so you know it will be good. But the fact that they are going to make it a comic series really has me intrigued. It's obvious from the video trailers for the game that Alex is not a complete good good, and may be more charcoal than grey, and I think that the comic and graphic novel genres lend themselves well to telling the story of these kinds of characters. When done correctly, a great comic will emotionally align you with the character, good or evil, which in turn can make you uncomfortable.

    I make no bones about the fact that I absolutely love the Cassandra Cain Batgirl series of comics. I have nothing against Barbara Gordon, I never knew the woman personally, but it was the darkness that Cassandra came out of that really made me like her. Strike that, I loved her. I loved the fact that she didn't come from a good home. I loved the fact that she had to struggle with learning mercy. Cassandra was trained to be an assassin from the time she was born. I imagine it will be a similar case with Mr. Mercer and I doubt that an open world game [no matter how open it is] will be able to deliver the same type of depth as a graphic novel could.

    I love BioShock, and bet I would be a huge fan of the tale being told as a 7 or 8 volume novel even more. I was interested in this game after I first heard about it, now I'm excited.

    A Marvel Fanboys Wet-dream

    posted @ 1/04/2008 03:17:00 AM by Monkey Doo
    I had always been interested in comic books, but I never really had the time or the money to pick up every issue of something, let alone a place to store it. Marvel.com has come out with just the thing for me though, and maybe you too.

    It's called Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, and basically... it rocks. It has just about every comic book series from origins to somewhere in the new millennium on it. I can read the original 1963 X-men stuff, or go as recent as some Civil War and House of M goods. And when I get tired of that, I can go read some Planet Hulk.

    I haven't quite figured out their update schedule. They have a wealth of information to put up on the site and I imagine that keeps them mighty busy. I also think they won't post something until they feel it is no longer viable to sell in paper form. I'm not complaining though, there is enough to keep me busy there for years. There is a lot of stuff there, but there is also a lot of stuff missing too.

    For just $10 a month or $60 for a years subscription you can get all this on marvel.com. The interface needs a little work but for what comes to $5 bucks a month for the year pass, it's more then worth it. I have read five times that in paper comics already, and thats only the tip of the iceberg.

    New Podcast Day: Episode 65

    posted @ 9/03/2007 01:18:00 PM by Ninjasistah
    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?

    New Podcast Day: Episode 64

    posted @ 8/26/2007 05:02:00 PM by Ninjasistah
    Since it's nearly Monday and I am pooped, I decided to go ahead and post this weeks episode early as I may very well sleep the entire day away tomorrow.

    Sure, sure, you may think I'm sounding like a lazy ninja, but I'm not. Every ninja worth his shuriken knows that one must heal all wounds and restore his strength before returning to a fight. That sounds so much better than just being "lazy!"

    Back to this week's podcast episode. Pandalicious shares her experience with the cyberpunk comic Transmetropolitan, MagicMystic remembers the anime series Saiyuki and NinJaSistah drops the 411 on some upcoming game demos, releases, and general game deliciousness.

    It's a fun day in the hood, so enjoy Episode 64: We Reveal the Secret to a Womans Pants!
