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.

Me Vs Microsoft & Xbox 360

I've written an email of complaint to microsoft, explaining how useless they are and how it's their fault I bought a downloadble content that I already have.

Hello, I'd like to complain about how it's because of you and releasing downloadble content early for Mass Effect 2 that I went and bought a downloadble content that I already owned.
You see, I had to go through Mass Effect again because my brother deleted my save file before finding out that I'd need it, and my plan was to leave Mass Effect 2 alone until I completed Mass Effect.
At first when I saw the cerebus download I thought "I've got that but will leave the downloading til I'm done on Mass Effect", then a few days later I forgot the name of the downloadable content I already have the code for and saw the cerebus DLC and thought "Oh, that looks new, I'll buy it and download it now".
So yes I blame you for that in releasing the special edition DLC not long after the actual games release.
Despite that I feel that adding special editions DLC to Xbox live renders the special edition games as pointless, you did however add it to Xbox live quicker than normal special edition DLC's are added to store, as normally it takes a couple of months.
Now I'm more of a fan of the Playstation 3, and I have a huge list of reasons why the Playstation 3 is better, so don't give me another reason to dislike the Xbox 360.

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
