My illness: Emphysema

What Is Emphysema? Emphysema is a degenerative disease that usually develops after many years of assault on lung tissues from cigarette smoke or other toxins that pollute the air. These toxins destroy the small air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli, that stretch as they transport oxygen from the air to the blood and then shrink as they force out carbon dioxide. As a result, the lungs lose their elasticity, and exhaling becomes difficult as the damaged lungs trap air and cannot effectively exchange it with fresh air. As the damage progresses, the effort needed to breathe increases and, ultimately, each breath becomes labored. (Illustration provided by the American Medical Association.) Emphysema is one of a group of lung diseases referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that can interfere with normal breathing. Other diseases that come under COPD include asthma and chronic bronchitis. According to the American Lung Association (ALA), nearly 16 million Americans are estimated to suffer from some form of COPD, and COPD is the fourth-ranking cause of death just behind heart ailments, cancers, and stroke.

My current review of the next gen consoles

Well...my recent review of all 3 consoles now are:

Wii: The Wii does have some good games, however some games also require you to put alot of energy into them (something I don't have much of due to my lung illness).
My current fav Wii games: The Sims 2 Castaway, My Sims & Pokemon Revolution.

Xbox 360: Well I reckon the 360 is doing alot better than the Xbox ever did.
As they are making alot more games for it and are adding more additional content on xbox live (which is good), however though it is said the Xbox 360 is most likely to crash than the Playstation 3 and the Wii does.
And I applaud Microsoft for how they handled the situation of fixing my 360 when I had the 3 red lights as they handled it pretty well.
My current fav 360 games: Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 & Timeshift

PS3: I have a feeling that after 'Home' and 'Little Big Planet' get's released for the Playstation 3 that it will start to do better because it really hasn't kicked off at all that well recently so far...very few games, and so far the 360 get's the games before the PS3 does, but the 360 does have money, Bill Gate's & Microsoft on it's side though.
My current fav PS3 games: Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga, FIFA 08, PES2008 & Motorstorm

About Mugen...

Mugen is a fighting game for the PC where you can download & add ANY fighters you want, whether they're from Streetfighter, Mortal Kombat, Marvel, DC, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Dragon Ball Z and various Anime's and more, you can even add stages and theme music for that stage.I currently have a tool that allows me to edit colours of any character I want, I also know how to change the character's name's and the sizes of the characters, I also have a tool that'll let me create my own Mugen character which I hope to do at some point, what you'll need is the Mugen Character Maker, a sprite sheet for the character you want to create and sounds for the moves they do (like "HADOUKEN/SHO-RYU-KEN" for Ryu/Ken for instance).

Many people have made their own Mugen's available to download so you can either choose to make your own from scratch or download a pre-made one by someone else.
You can find several pre-made Mugen's at www.caiman.us
