ElectricSistaHood


Join self-proclaimed geeks (and actual sisters) NinJaSistah and Pandalicious each week as they share a unique look at video games new and old. From console gaming (Xbox, Playstation, Wii) to mobile (iOS and Android), triple "A" titles to independent developer releases, trade show coverage and even one-on-one interviews, these ladies review and preview it all. 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.

Now let me get this straight -- last week was Episode 502 and this week is Episode 496? What kind of crazy number line are we using? It's all to be blamed on our audio producer. With the plethora of clip shows in July and the 500th episode to come in August, he simply got a little confused. (It's OK, the last MRI he went through showed that his brain is shrinking, so we'll give him a break on this one.) So rather than pretend the number 496 simply doesn't exist, and because this week's show is a clip show, […] The post ESH Cast #496: 496! That simply doesn’t add up appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

It's the dog days of summer and we're feeling doggy as well, just playing the usual video games and watching the usual anime. But we don't like to subject you to anything less than extrordinary, so we've worked hard to give you a little extra in this week's podcast. So we talk on a wide variety of stuff, ranging from happenings at Gamescom and the renamed thing now called PAX West, as well as BioShock remasters and Xbox One S, before delving into the main subjects, the Headlander game, the second season of Food Wars, a new (but derivative) anime […] The post ESH Cast #502: Every Time He Dies, It’s Traumatic (What Do You Mean, Every Time?) appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

Love it or hate it, Suicide Squad is the major topic of discussion on this week's podcast. Now that both of the Sistahs have seen the film, it is ripe for dissection. Oh, it's not a review that will receive a nod from Rotten Tomatoes or any site like that. There are far too many tangents for that, but we think you'll enjoy the trip we take to advising you about the movie. And although we give the obligatory Spoiler Warning before saying anything about the film, we don't even pretend to think you haven't seen the film or you […] The post ESH Cast #501: Don’t Judge a Movie By its Trailer appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

The Sistahs bare it all in this grand celebration of a podcast -- the 500th show since beginning the thing way back in 2006. NinJaSistah and Pandalicious spend the show in self-congratulatory mode, bringing their pal Lawrence "Mayor" Young along for the ride. Among the things they talk about are how they got started with the show, how Mayor Young was instrumental in helping them get a big audience, how Panda got older and got more of a life while Ninja got older and got less of a life, how they met Jonathan Coulton, Guy Kawasaki and Wil Wheaton, what […] The post ESH Cast #500: It’s Not Only Number 500, It’s Good appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

It's an old adage that if you want to fix something, you'll have to start from the beginning. That's what NinJaSistah learned (again) while trying to prepare for this week's podcast. You'll hear all the sordid details on the show, but keep this in mind: even the silliest advice comes in awfully handy sometimes. The Sistahs spend the show talking about how they're not really prepared to talk about much, but they fill up the allotted time nicely anyway. In the midst of not having much to say, they manage to spend considerable time on NinJa's Sony controller problems, the […] The post ESH Cast #499: Sometimes you just have to unplug it from the wall appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

This is the year of the R-rated movie. It all started with Deadpool in February. When the next big comic book movie came along, Batman vs. Superman, it was a flop and many blamed the fact that it wasn't R-rated, so we're afraid we're liable to see a lot of R-rated movies on superhero subjects in the months to come. The animated movie The Killing Joke tests out that R-rated premise for movies made from DC Comics properties. Even though it is animated, it's a good test subject. Although she's not uncomfortable with R-rated movies, NinJaSistah doesn't like The Killing […] The post ESH Cast #498: They Made it R-Rated Because R-Rated Is Cool appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

When life gets in the way, that means it's time for a clip show. And that's exactly what you get again this week. NinJaSistah was called out of town -- to Los Angelas, no less -- because of her day job, so Pandalicious graciously offered to host this week's collection of stuff we found on our cutting room floor. The things she found have been collecting there during the past three years, so there were some interesting things, including the clips that inspired the name of today's show. We won't give it away right here, let's just say that you […] The post ESH Cast #497: A 21-Gun Salute — Not That Kind of Gun appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

Given that it's the Dog Days of Summer, it's relevant that we do a clip show featuring a topic we've mentioned frequently: The high price of hot dogs. What is that? You say that hot dogs aren't expensive? But they are -- if you buy them at an event like E3 or PAX East. Hot dogs -- and everything else -- at events are much too expensive. And it is that dichotomy that people like Pandalicious often revolt against. So it's topics like that that show up on clip shows like this. In fact, food shows up over and over […] The post ESH Cast #495: A Hot Dog Makes Her Lose Control appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

This week's podcast is for all the seekers out there -- even the ones who think they've been here before. If you don't know what we're talking about, you'll understand perfectly. In the episode, we talk about a variety of things, including Nakey Jakey, Ingres, Pokemon Go and the Re:Zero anime. We focus primarily on Pokemon Go, and the wild outpouring of action in that game in the past week, and Re:Zero, an anime that takes you on a wild ride of its own. Now that we've finished recording the episode, we have to mention one big omission. We don't […] The post ESH Cast #494: I Was Looking for a Pokemon and Found a Chipotle appeared first on ESH - ElectricSistaHood.

What exactly makes NinJaSistah squee? She'll let you know in this week's electricsistahood podcast. And you won't readily forget it. There are plenty of squee-ful topics for the Sistahs this week: the upcoming Injustice 2 game, the whole lineup of Tekken games and the Blood-C anime, to name a few. In addition, the girls talk about Panda's birthday celebration, which happened this past weekend, and loads of other stuff. So get your fill in this week's show by listening to ESH Cast #493: I Don’t Squee Often, But When I Do… You'll be glad you did.
