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.

Timeshift (PS3 & Xbox360)

This game has to be way underrated.
It is a first person shooter where you (the user) play as a guy who has a suit that allows him to control time...you can pause time, reverse time & even slow down time for a brief period.
Now I myself could go on and tell you about my funny stories on this game all day, like the time this guy jumped off a ledge and I paused time while he were in mid air, I saw his legs were open so I thought for the fun of it stick a timed mine on his crotch...and as time unpaused I watched his he was blown to pieces (no more sex for you sir).
And the other funny story was where I killed a guy and thought "let's watch him die again" so I rewound time slightly and watched him die again...I went: rewind..play..rewind..play..rewind..and play. gosh that guy's real unlucky dying so many times like that lol.

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
