Godzilla’s Hanna-Barbera cartoon is upsettingly odd

12/04/201601/05/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Godzilla had a cartoon made in the late 70’s by Hanna-Barbera and well it’s umm..something. As a kid I loved Godzilla but whenever re-runs of this show aired on Cartoon Network I found it difficult to sit through. The show seems to have been made by people who didn’t know what Godzilla was and just used what they thought he was and went along with it. The characters or setting is never really explained you just know that you have some people on a ship who live with this creature called Godzooki that encounter monsters but Godzilla helps them out. Apparently the series bible explains this Godzooky, who is Godzilla’s nephew and he was in danger but the crew of the Calico saved his life and Godzilla protects the crew as a reward.

Tribute to SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog

Video Classic

When youtube first launched ten years ago I used to search for stuff that I had plenty of nostalgia for and Sonic the Hedgehog’s SatAM show was one of them. While I never really liked “tribute’ videos which were quite popular at the time there was one that I enjoyed a lot that it became one of the first Youtube videos I ever favorited so it’s worth your time to check it out.

The Santa Clause Trilogy a weird little Christmas saga

11/27/201601/05/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Looking back on..

I remember watching The Santa Clause when I was a kid but while I liked it, I don’t think I ever watched it again but I still remembered it was a weird premise and the Oscar Meyer whistle ending but I never really felt like watching the movie again. Flashback to one day that I open up Netflix and see The Santa Clause 3 and a ridiculous cover and I kind of felt like watching the original but it wasn’t available. Then that idea morphed into me wanting to watch the entire trilogy for who knows what reason and culminated when I realized all the movies were now available to stream and what I planned to do over the next couple of weeks ended up with me watching them all in one day.

X-Mas is coming to Miscrave

Site

Thanksgiving has passed which means Christmas is getting very close. Most posts for the rest of the year will be themed with Christmas in mind and I mean that very vaguely so as long as there’s some type wintery element it’s fair game. Still working on getting the site working better, adding features and whatnot so any feedback is welcome.

System of a Down – SOAD self-titled album Listen Back review

11/23/201601/05/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Listen back.., Music

I had just begun 7th grade when I was talking about music with a friend and back then I didn’t have a wide variety in my taste in music but each of us mentioned “one” was a great album, the one he mentioned was System of A Down’s self-titled album. We each lent each other an album and began to listen. I don’t really remember what I thought about it when I first heard it, I didn’t love it but I remember listening to it many times so I’m guessing I didn’t hate it either. I used to listen to it a few times while making Pokemon Decks for the Pokemon league on friday nights. Funnily enough I don’t remember thinking it was a particularly heavy album and this was one of my first exposures to metal. My friend eventually moved without warning so he never gave me back my album and I got to keep this one, my only problem when I was older is that it was an edited CD and the only edited version of the CD that I ever owned.

History of Nintendo’s Console – Handheld Connectivity – Game Boy to Switch

11/21/201601/05/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

History of..

Connectivity, a simple word that caused gamers to shiver upon hearing in the early 2000’s when Nintendo decided it would focus on connecting instead of online gaming. Viewed skeptically since it was announced and never quite took off. But was it really that bad or did gamers miss out on what could have been one something innovative tool in gaming?
