It's been way too long dang it! Let get back to bloggin' and stay bloggin'!

       I have said this a few times before but I got it this time. This is my decision and I have control over it. Something about posting on blogger (formerly known as BlogSpot) motivated me. So why do i keep stopping after doing a one a year post? Honestly, I wish I had an answer to that and there is no point on dwelling on the past so let's move forward. I want to do this so lets do it!

Why No Parasite Eve Remake or Continuation? A Fan’s Random Thoughts

Image
So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Parasite Eve , the iconic PlayStation classic that’s still held dear in the hearts of many RPG fans. It’s one of those games that stuck with me long after the credits rolled, blending survival horror, RPG elements, and an intriguing science fiction narrative with a deep, sometimes disturbing look at human evolution and biotechnology. Yet, here we are—decades later—and there's no sign of a remake or continuation in sight. Parasite Eve deserves a second chance. So, let’s talk about why it hasn’t happened, and what a modern-day remake or new title could bring to the table. The Legacy of Parasite Eve For those of us who experienced Parasite Eve in its heyday, the game had an almost magical quality to it. Released in 1998, it was a bold mix of genres that felt ahead of its time. Based on a novel by Hideaki Sena, it told the story of NYPD officer Aya Brea as she unraveled a mystery involving mitochondrial evolution, genetic manipulation, and a...

Taking a break from PUBG...

Image
It pains me to say after much thought I will be parting ways with my so-called favorite game of the year till further notice. During the time spent playing PUBG I have met many new friends which is why this is so hard. However, after multiple weeks with a countless number of games witnessing horrible physics, lag issues, and most aggrivating the HACKERS, I have decided to take a break. So what does the future hold for IGZ? We will find out later tonight!

2018 is off to a great start!

So as always I've taken my 1-3 year break from blogging, but in the meantime have made many advances and improvements most of which have came recently and with the addition of a twitch Channel. I plan on continuing my streams on Twitch as well as maintaining my YouTube channel but also want to plan to make at least at the minimum a monthly update on Blogger. Just wanted to give a quick update and a big shout out to my friend Jmiah who got me motivated again. Please check his twitch out at https://www.twitch.tv/jmiahstreams and my channel https://www.twitch.tv/ishfack It's great to be back everyone!

8 Ways to Become a Modern Day Samurai Warrior

So I have decided that I am going to do my best at attempting the ways of the samurai. Sudden motivation has inspired me to continue my research from a few years ago and start to train my mind, body, and soul once again. Hopefully this time I can find inner peace and become one with myself again as I once was. I read from the following article and was astounded by how much I already do that has come so natural! However I have PLENTY to work on! Mainly training my body and getting back into an art form that I have not forgotten but needs to be revitalized. I plan to edit or continue this post as I come across more information. Stay tuned! http://herohealthroom.com/2014/01/27/8-ways-to-become-a-modern-day-samurai-warrior/

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

Image
Sorry about the last blog...had nothing to do with IGZ (I just needed to vent) and sadly if I posted it on Facebook I would be burned on a torch. (really sad) Anyways, where I have been and what game I have primarily been playing! So I no longer play WoW and have settled into a new MMO know as FF14:ARR and so far it has been quite fun. The PvP is 10 times better, the dungeons are fun however they are quite lengthy...and you don't have to be a l33test jerk to do end game content! They also plan to add mini games such as a card game, Chocobo races. & more with a Gold Saucer implementation in the near future. They also just released a marriage system for couples who play together in game. I posted a few pictures below. Currently the information states that ceremony registration starts this Friday @ 4am server time, but you can complete the "couples" quest and get the clothing now. I am sure this will add a neat new feature to the game but I do not know if they will...

What is Religion?

I was going to originally title this "What is Christianity?" but did not want to make people think I was specifically targeting a specific religion. Which I am not...you are... Let me explain. First I will explain why Christianity is targeted by "you" and by you I mean Christians, and by Christians I do not mean every damn one! For example. Joe is a christian, Joe like to go to bars at night. Joe does not knock on my door and tell me why I am going to hell because I am not a Christian. He also dose not change the context of the bible every ten years. Then their is Bob, he is the man who talks about religion every chance he gets, make it apparent to me and asked me if I have saved myself yet on a daily basis, tells me why Christianity is the only way to go and everything else I know is WRONG and I will be condemned for it. IF you have not been able to tell yet "Bob" is who I am targeting on the first part of this rant. Now for an experience that I just had ...

Return to Ishy's G.A.M.E. Zone!

It's that time again folks....that time where I remember once every few years I have this page and decide to update it once or twice then forget about it again! First I will start by saying I added a bunch of you tube videos a year or two or...3 ago... lol. They were my first videos ever so they are ...a bit crappy... I plan to make better videos of let's plays and such for the future in ANOTHER attempt to revive this. Link my YouTube videos are below. https://www.youtube.com/user/Ishfack/videos

Continent of the 9th Seal (Gaming)

Image
Thought I would post something new and a potential idea for my next video! Continent of the 9th Seal (a.k.a C9) is a new free to play MMORPG that I just recently started playing. Before I get into lets plays I thought maybe just doing a few gameplay videos would be nice to do to get things started. Stay tuned for updates!

Resonance of Fate (Gaming)

Image
Published by Sega and created by Tri Ace, Resonance of Fate is what the world of RPG's needed. It has a perfect balance of what everyone should expect from a JRPG. I am very happy to say that I decided to get this over Final Fantasy XIII. Great graphics, great story, and very unique gameplay. The music in the game is also excellent. I recommend this game to any RPG or video game fan that has a next gen console. Keep up the good work Tri Ace! Here is a brief summary from Wikipedia of what the game is about, and what you viewers have to look forward to. In the distant future, Earth has undergone a drastic change in the environment. For reasons unknown, poisonous layers of gasses permeated the land, which resulted in near extinction for mankind due to humanity's inability to adapt to the new changes. The remaining humans built a gigantic device called Basel, an environment purifier buried deep in the ground, which cleanses the air in the surrounding land and hopefully the rest of...

Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout getting all the buzz! (Media)

Image
This is an article that I found interesting this morning that I found on www.beernews.org What can I say? I like my brewsky's and like to keep up with what's going on from time to time. Hope you enjoy! (Grand Rapids, MI) - It happens with literally every Founders Brewing limited release. The brewery sends out a beer like Backwoods Bastard a couple weeks early asking that stores hold it until a certain date before making it available for sale. It is akin to buying a 12-year old a Nintendo Wii on Dec. 13 and asking him/her not to open it until Dec. 25 (well, close enough). There is an allure about all of these limited releases and being in the top 50 on the two big beer sites just makes it that much harder to get your hands on. Kentucky Breakfast Stout About this year’s release . . . the beer was not to hit the streets until the weekend of March 15 though at least a few stores made it available even before March 1. Most of the 1,400 cases are still at large though that small num...

WWE scripts it right! (Entertainment)

So last Monday I watched the best episode of Monday Night Raw that I have seen in a long time. It wasn't just part of the show either. The show from beginning to end was great. There were so many great things that happened, so to make things easy I will just go in order with how things happened as they progressed on the show. Raw opened with Edge announcing himself as the new World Heavyweight Champion. After a while John Cena comes out to basically let Edge know he will be "watching" him. The crowd actually seemed somewhat into chanting for Cena too. A friend of mine beliefs Cena should have been put up against Edge a long time ago, and this is what we have been waiting for. So far I would have to agree and personally I am liking the Cena/Edge feud. All of the matches were well done and to make this short I'll jsut post a few of the things that also made Raw great. Priceless picked up another victory. Piper showed up, and Melina retained her title. Now what happened ...

Resident Evil 5 & more (Gaming)

So I have been highly anticipating the upcoming Resident Evil 5 game that comes out March 13th. So far I have played the demo and on a personal perspective I like all of the changes that they have made to the game. It did take a bit of getting use to at first. But after adjusting I now am around 90% that everything was a great change. I'm saving the last 10% for when the game actually comes out, as I am preying the do not mess up the online play. Anyways I don't really have too much to say about the game. I could go on and talk about the storyline but I figured if anyone really wants questions asked its be better to Google, or wiki it. Anyways, this leads me to my "more" part of this post. I decided to post about RE5 in an internet forum I am active in. It started by me trying to find out if anyone else owns a PS3 and if they do, I was wanting to know if they planned on getting RE5 cause I am looking to possible play with people online after it comes out. Well to make...

A second return.

Well I am back yet again due to popular demand! Unfortunately, I will not be making any category updates tonight for I am short on time, and don't wanna half ass any of my updates. So I am simply making a post to say that I will attempt to once again bring gaming updates, criticism, comic relief, and I know it's boring but the occasional news that I find important as it happens. I plan on making a few posts this week, for I already have a few topics that I have in mind that I would like to discuss, and share you you. Here is a list of some of them for you to look forward to. Resident Evil 5, Identity Theft, World Wrestling Entertainment, Celebrity News, Brazil and MMOs, and many more! In addition to my new upcoming posts I will be adding polls for certain topics that I post about for the readers to vote their opinion on. Their will still be a main poll every two weeks, but in addition the topic polls will be added. Look forward to getting my viewers back. Catch you all very soo...

Awating: Diablo 3 (Gaming)

Image
For quite some time now I have been keeping an eye on Diablo 3. For when this game eventually dose come out you may not hear from me for I will have no life once again. I do admit it when it comes to the D series I am something I hate...a fanboy . Unless if something takes a 180 turn and doesn't make sense at all with the story line then I prolly won't get pissed, and will keep supporting this upcoming title. Around two weeks ago I got really exited with the new Wizard class that was released. Somehow, they took the sorceress from Diablo 2 and made it even more l33t. The coolest spell so far I would have to say is the ability to slow time. It seems like it is going to be very useful in game and when in a party as well. Other than that the teleport skill is going to take the coolness factor for me. Not only dose the spell caster still have the ability to move fast but now whenever the Wizard teleports near an enemy the enemy takes damage from the respawn point of the tele...

Smackdown vs Raw 2009 (Gaming)

Well today I received SvR 2009 in the mail today and unlike 2008 so far it doesn't suck total balls. A lot of the animations are used over, but that's sort of understandable since it's still the same type of gameplay, and game engine as 2008. So far though I really like the road to wrestlemania mode instead of the lame @$$ 24/7 mode they had last year. However, I have not been playing it that long but do have one complaint so far, and that's about some of the character "looks". The first time I stepped into the ring with The Miz...I seriously could not tell it was The Miz except for his clothing. Umagas face looks like umaga but his proportions are well a lil' off. I do like all of the new reversals and counters they added in 2009 tho. The only thing I have yet to do that I am also exited about is the create a superstar mode, which I am really exited about this year since you can add your own theme music to your created superstars intro. After day one of S...
