The main subject of this week's podcast is not a video game at all. But, perhaps one day, it will become the equivalent of one. Westworld, the new series on HBO, is derived from a great 1970s film starring Yul Brynner, reprising his Chris character from 1960's movie The Magnificent Seven. It seems perfectly justified that a year that brings a new version of The Magnificent Seven back to movie screens would also be the same year that brought Westworld to TV. And Westworld is no mere TV show -- it is a TV show on HBO, which means it […] The post ESH Cast #512: Westworld Takes Virtual Reality Gaming to the Extreme appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

Once again, the ladies of the ElectricSistaHood pour out their hearts about anime and video games, but their admonitions come with a warning as well: Don't get taken in. That seems to be the theme of the entire show, starting with a description of the new partially titled anime "To Be Hero." The advice here is basically not to talk so loudly while you're sitting in the bathroom. From there, they move along to a discussion, once again, of Steven Universe and then to Dragon Ball, which Ninja has discovered once again, in the form of Dragon Ball Super. Then […] The post ESH Cast #511: Never Confuse Love With Stockholm Syndrome appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

The Sistahs get on the same page with this week's show. They both saw the Doctor Strange movie on the same weekend, and it was opening weekend at that. So you must be warned up front that, if you haven't seen the Doctor Strange movie and want to be protected from spoilers, this is not the episode to listen to. And, suffice it to say, they're going to be referring to Doctor Strange for a long time to come. This week's show isn't all about Doctor Strange, though. In it, they also discuss the new Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare […] The post ESH Cast #510: The Only Review That Will Liken a Doctor Strange Character to a Pokémon Character appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

The show returns to some sense of normalcy this week, with us talking about video games, apps and gadgets. We start things off, discussing Bethesda's decision to withhold games from reviewers until the day before they are released to the general public, so you'll no longer get to see entire play-throughs and other spoilers on the internet long before you can get your hands on them. In addition, we talk about the new computers coming from Apple and Microsoft. With both of them, they're going to give you some more stuff to do with your left hand. We talk about […] The post ESH Cast #509: Packed With Nerdery, ESH Satisfies appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

Seems like everytime you turn around somebody's introducing a new gaming console. This week was no different. Nintendo finally got around to telling some details about their new console. They told us its name, and it wasn't something embarrassing like the Wii. They showed some things about it, but did they give us the whole scoop? No dice. We devote part of this week's show to the questions that weren't answered in the Nintendo Switch announcement. This is a topic that will likely cause us consternation for some time to come. In addition, we talk on a variety of things, […] The post ESH Cast #508: The Nintendo Switch — It’s What’s NXt appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

For those of you who have never seen us in our element, this week we're doing what we do best: play video games. We don't often make this the subject of the entire podcast. We've done it only once before, when we played Red Dead Redemption right after it came out. And now we're doing it this week with the newly released Gears of War 4, although this time we've both already played some of it against each other. In addition to hearing us play the game, you'll get to see the video rendition of this podcast on our YouTube […] The post ESH Cast #507: Two Chicks in the Couch Coop appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

We didn't intend for it to happen this way, but comic book movies take up the majority of this week's show. Starting out with the coming TV show Iron Fist, our tangent grows to include a wide range of topics: Netflix, Infinity War, Spider-Man, Logan, Jubilee, X-Men: Apocalypse, the original X-Men trilogy, Mark Hamill as the Joker, The Flash, rugged men with tragic backstories, Lady Deathstrike, Rihanna, strong female comic book characters, Black Panther and Angela Basset before coming around to Iron Fist again. And then there's the disturbing part of the show, when Panda talks about some dating sims […] The post ESH Cast #506: We’re Forecasting the Logan Movie Based on Just a Poster appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

It's the holy trinity of enjoying a TV show, or at least that's what we say early on in this week's show. What show are we talking about? Why, the new Luke Cage, of course. We haven't yet seen it ourselves, but at least we know how to properly get into it: read the Luke Cage comics, watch the Jessica Jones TV series or do as Panda does and just look it up on Google. You simply won't get such stellar bits of wisdom anywhere else. And we don't just talk about Luke Cage, either. Oh, no no no no […] The post ESH Cast #505: Read the Book, Watch the Show, Google It appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

After a few weeks of letting the day job rule our lives, we're finally back on track. We hope. This week's podcast is our effort to make things seem normal again, and we get started in a great way by talking about gadgets, video games and anime. Ninja recounts her difficulties with her purchase of a new iPhone, then Panda tells of her delight in a game called Overcooked. Ninja talks about her anxiousness toward the coming Gears of War release and how she's unfortunately letting the new Destiny upgrade languish. She talks about her early experiences with the game […] The post ESH Cast #504: I Want Couch Coop, Dammit appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

Actually, we're not live from the Boston Festival of Indie Games, but we're drect from BFIG. Well, that's not true either. While Ninja had to slave at her day job on the Saturday BFIG was held, only Panda got to go to the thing. But, once again, we're well meaning and give our honest impression about the things that went on at the show. Ninja starts off the podcast by discussing a game she has played: Bound. Then Panda gives her impression of things she saw and played at BFIG, including the tabletop game 13 Souls and the video games […] The post ESH Cast #503: We Were Bound to Talk About All of This appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.
