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.

What I've been up to...

Well, I know some of you might wonder why I've kept quiet about my Mugen project, and the answer is because I decided to put that to one side until I come across more cool characters to use, plus it is frustrating waiting for this cool Hulk Character that has been updated with better moves and better sounds.

Meanwhile as it's that busy time of the year, I have been concentrating on the likes of my Playstation 3 games such as: Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows, LittleBigPlanet, Star Wars Force Unleashed, Soul Calibur 4, Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 & Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe.
I've been wowing the LittleBigPlanet community with my own custom made outfits, like this Venom outfit I made:



I've also invented my own Superhero, however I haven't put this guy on paper (or PC screen) as of yet, however the whole story line involves a scientist and among some other citizens of Earth have volunteered to live on the now liveable planet Mars, but what they don't know is a set of an evil alien race are planning to take over the planet (which they thought was desserted) as their own.
The aliens plan to drive the humans off of Mars but the scientist comes across some strange black liquid which after further investigation he discovers it's a form of alien race that lives off of dead aliens, however the black liquid is only a child version of this alien race and merges with the scientist giving his new and amazing powers that brings him the powers of all the elements such as fire, wind, lightning, water, earth & ice at his disposal.
After a battle with the evil alien race's leader, the leader also discovers an alien liquid in the shade of dark purple.
This liquid also merges with the evil alien giving him the power of dark matter.
What will happen next will be decided by yours truly.

I also plan to design this suit for the scientist when he & the alien merge, but I'll be using Sackboy of LittleBigPlanet as the model :>

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
