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.

NinJaSistah and Pandalicious are such wannabees. They wannabe among the Two Dope Queens. They wannabe in the PAX East Hall of Fame. They wannabe the ultimate anime watchers and video game players. They aspire to all of those things, but one thing that they undoubtedly are? Blerds. Black Nerds. They exude blerd-ness at all times, even when they don't intend to. But that's OK with all of their fans. They wouldn't attract such a select audience if they didn't. This week's show demonstrates all those things. Topics this week include cocktails, of which they imbibe too many; more discussion on […] The post ESH Cast #482: We’re Not Just Blerds, We’re Floored appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

Who doesn't like sprinkles? Unfortunately, we're not referencing the kind of sprinkles you're thinking of. You'll get the idea once you hear this week's show. The highlight of the podcast this week is the new game Quantum Break, which is kind of a TV-show-meets-video-game. It was created when Microsoft thought it was going to create a settop box that people would use more to draw in video content than as a video game. When the PS4 started whipping its tail, Microsoft suddenly came up with a different idea. NinJaSistah has played through the first "episode" of Quantum Break and reports […] The post ESH Cast #481: Mmmmmmm, Sprinkles appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

Movies seem to be the order of the day around ESHland this week. NinJaSistah and Pandalicious are all excited about new films coming up, such as the new Ghostbusters and the upcoming Marvel movies. But in this episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast, they are concerned with two recent films: Star Wars Episode VII, The Force Awakens, which has just been brought out for home video, and the newly released Batman V Superman. While you would have to have your head stuck in the ground not to have seen the Star Wars film, here's a warning if you haven't yet seen […] The post ESH Cast #480: The Bromance Is Real! appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

If you've been dreading yet another clip show, this one's your dread come true. Aww, you gotta admit it, clip shows aren't that bad. This week's show collects some of the stuff you haven't had a chance to hear before. For instance, just last week NinJaSistah and Pandalicious talked for about 10 minutes on cross-platform play, but you didn't hear it, because the show was running too long. Sure, we could have kept it from you, but here is the segment in all its glory? So what else have you missed? There were segments from the Game Awards Show episode […] The post ESH Cast #479: You Heard It Here Last appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

Microsoft is in hot water again. And, as usual, it's their own fault. If you haven't heard why, your head is simply stuck too far in the groud. We'll just say that go-go dancers were politically correct 50 years ago. Not so much today. That's just one of the topics of discussion with NinJaSistah and Pandalicious in their podcast this week. In addition, they discuss more on the game The Division, the anime Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju and the games Until Dawn: Rush of Blood and one of their all-time favorites, Kingdom Hearts. Just a note: The alternate English titles […] The post ESH Cast #478: The Go-Go Dancers Were Not Part of Women in Gaming appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

Girls will be girls, and that's always the truth with NinJaSistah and Pandalicious. And that is very evident in this week's podcast. The Sistahs discuss the issues of the day in gaming. Ninja has been very close to the subject, having spent a week with the Xbox Poohbahs at Microsoft in Redmond, Wash. (with a convenient sidetrip to Seattle). Although she can't discuss everything she saw (that's what non-disclosure agreements are for), she came back, shall we say, illuminated. What can she talk about? Well, you'll hear it right here. She discusses Xbox Live outages, the nature of what constitutes […] The post ESH Cast #476: We Insist Length Is Not a Factor (In Games, IN GAMES) appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

It's been a busy month for NinJaSistah. Los Angeles three weeks ago, the Oscar podcast, then off to Seattle last week. So, once again, we look toward the past and present another clip show podcast. This week's show is a fan favorite. It shows the various times either NinJaSistah or Pandalicious has broken out into song for one reason or another. It's the revenge of the producer of the show that the singing is immediately followed by the original rendition of the song. It's very telling that the Sistahs have a very wide musical knowlege -- especially of TV theme […] The post ESH Cast 475: And Suddenly We Broke Out Into Song! appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

Pandalicious is on a mission: Matt Damon should get himself out of his own scrapes. If anything is the big message of this week's podcast, that's it. No, she doesn't have anything against the versatile actor, but after seeing the nominees for Sunday's Academy Awards, it's the feeling that she gets. This week, the Sistahs review the trailers of all the Best Picture nominees and deliver their opinions on the subject. In truth, NinJaSistah and Pandalicious have seen only one of the eight films, and even the one film each has seen is different. They were aware of some of […] The post ESH Cast #474: Matt Damon Always Gets Saved — From France, From Mars, From Boston appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

It's cold outside, but it's plenty warm where the Sistahs are. While temps were in the single digits, Ninjasistah and Pandalicious kept things warm with their observations about everything in video games and anime. Among the topics of their show this week are the postponing of the next version of Assassin's Creed (what will they have to talk about in November? They'll figure out something), the Quantum Break controversy (gaming on PCs vs. consoles? Horrors!), Doctor Strange (sure, Benedict Cumberbach is in it, but the character himself is as strange to most people as his name) and the anime Kono […] The post ESH Cast #473: Always Choose the Third Option — That’s Where the Cute Girls Are appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.

When the Sistahs are away, the producer will play. At least, that's what happens when NinJaSistah and Pandalicious take off from recording a brand new episode of the ElectricSistaHood podcast. As a result, we present another in our line of clip shows -- episodes which feature some aspect of past podcasts. This week, we present some old and some newer outtakes from episodes -- mistakes that you didn't hear the first time around. Although the shows sound pretty flawless once you hear them, with this episode you get some of the raw action. Ninja's tendency to forget which episode she […] The post ESH Cast #472: Outtake It Away appeared first on ESH - Electric Sista Hood - Reviewers of Games, Gadgets and More.
