Sprinkle in a little bit of anime and tech gadget and a whole lot of randomness and you've got yourself an episode of ElectricSistaHood.

Your hand is just the first thing you get to lose in the Resident Evil 7 video game. If you don't watch out, you're going to lose a lot more. At least that's what Ninja and Panda have determined after seeing more than half of the game thus far. They haven't finished it, but they were so enthused about it, they decided to devote this week's show to it. Among the things they do to entertain you this week is to show you the difficulty they have in counting backwards. Ninja didn't actually play the game, but tells you of […] The post ESH Cast #522: You’re Gonna Lose a Hand — Guaranteed! appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

Technically, human beings don't have nerve endings in their brain, so it's not actually possible to feel pain up there, but that's not how Ninja and Panda feel right now. It's been a long week of highs and lows for the girls, after you'll soon discover listening to this week's show. But they try to keep an optimistic attitude, which you'll surely appreciate. The topics this week focus on video games, and you'll hear them talk about several subjects, including Oxenfree, Tearaway Unfolded, Dark Cloud, For Honor and Saints Row. As usual, they take their usual diversions to discuss other […] The post ESH Cast #521: It hurts my brain just thinking about it appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

Nintendo keeps slipping away from what made us their biggest fans so many years ago. Either that, or we're just getting old. Naaaaaah. It couldn't be that. Nintendo's announcement of the availabilty and price of the coming Nintendo Switch provokes a lot of comment on our podcast this week. We mainly complain about the pausity of desired games for the new system. Have they simply run out of itdea over there? But we do give our general view of the slim offerings released at their announcement. Among the topics of discussion: Zelda, Mario and Splatoon. It's like a Greatest Hits […] The post ESH Cast #520: Nintendo Makes Me Work Too Hard to be a Fan appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

It's not just because they're hungry, but the Sistahs certainly have food on the mind in this week's episode. So the word "steak" in the headline is no misspelling. You'll find the refernence to steak in the first few minutes. Of course, the big news of the week is all the cool new stuff to come from the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. Although we didn't attend this time, we're packed with opinions. Among the thing we liked are the big mambo-sized thumb drives -- packing a whopping 2TB -- from Kingston. That'll be enough space to get lost in […] The post ESH Cast #519: I’ve Got a Steak in a Better 2017 appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

It took a whole year, but the majority of us have survived 2016. We mihght look a little battle weary, but we did survive. And that's what part of our show is about this week. We're trying to be as optimistic as possible, and part of that is our look at some of the video games we expect to play in this new year. We talk about games we expect, such as Cuphead, Kingdom Hearts, Destiny and even Mass Effect gets a little mention. Maybe we'll see 'em. Maybe we won't. But we're looking forward to them anyway. In addition, […] The post ESH Cast #518: The Miserable Sarcasm of 2016 is Gone — I Promise appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

If the New York Times promises all the news that's fit to print, then our weekly podcast makes a promise, too: All the stuff that fits. It's our policy that our shows run no longer than 80 minutes. That's longer than an hour, but short enough to afford you regular bathroom breaks. So when it comes time to do a clip show, sometimes we air the clips that didn't quite fit our 80-minute format -- we admit we get a little long-winded at times. So for this clip show (we;re taking a little holiday break, but we plan to be […] The post ESH Cast #517: Don’t Follow the Balls When They Make the Street appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

The game The Last Guardian has gotten some unfortunate press since its introduction, but NinJaSistah finds that a little unfair. While some players find the game a little unresponsive, Ninja says it's not the game's fault. The unresponsiveness is because of the design of the game. Don't give up on the game, Ninja says. Just be patient. With a little coaxing, things will come around and happen. She's not the first to say, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again," but she'll be glad to share in the royalties. The game The Last Guardian is discussed at […] The post ESH Cast #516: Patience is a Virtue That’s Not Shared by All Game Players appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

A flying cat-bird with the face of a dog brings all the humanity needed in the video game The Last Guardian, and that's what turned the tide for NinJaSistah. You'll hear all about it in this week's podcast with Pandalicious. Ninja advises you that, if you haven't already, you should play the game creators' Ico game first. That's not the only warning you'll get. The Sistahs start the show with an adult game called Genital Jousting, which, as you might suppose from the name, is not a subject for immature audiences. Though, as you'll hear, is certainly an enthusiastic choice […] The post ESH Cast #515: You Had Me at Purr appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

This week's entire show was recorded live during this year's Game Awards Show in L.A. Because the girls were seated comfortably on Ninja's couch, no jet lag was suffered in the making of this podcast. The Game Awards Show allowed the Sistahs free range on many topics of interest to game show fans. As you might expect, some topics kept popping up throughout the show: Zelda, the Nintendo Switch, Telltale games, Hideo Kojima. And the awards show provided a touching moment when That Dragon, Cancer won the award for Games for Impact. The game was one of the towering achievements […] The post ESH Cast #514: The Game Awards announce ESH: The Telltale Game appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

It's after Thanksgiving and if you haven't purchased gifts for all your loved ones already, you're in the same boat the Sistahs find themselves in. Both of them have eyes bigger than their stomachs when it comes to the desire for the finer things in a gaming/anime/comic book life, but unfortunately, they don't have wallets to match their desires. That doesn't stop them from giving you suggestions about great things to give (or get) this season. First on the list are things like headphones (Ninja likes the ones from Astro), Xbox controllers (that's what Panda desires), anime box sets and […] The post ESH Cast #513: Dishonored 2 — It’s Two Games in One! appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.
