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

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.

VampireMike's Rare Devil & Gun patch


Well, I've been doing a new & rare patch for a friend of mine, he asked me to try and make it one of a kind, so I changed d robes into this picture you see now.
I also changed Scav's into bows and my next step is to change the bag into dark wings.
So I just wanted to post a pic on here so you have a slight glimpse.
PS. It's male Scav bows that got changed & not female one's, so the guys have guns for scav's and the ladies have scav's.

About xmas & my next official eo patch...

Deep down I'm a big kid at heart especially around xmas.
But when xmas is over I do feel just a bit down in the dumps.

Anywho...my plans for my next official eo patch may take some time in making...I'll be naming it 'The Ultimate Devil Patch', which what I'll be doing is I will be adding a devil suit (minus the tux) to every male/female outfits, I know some of you guys are thinking "Why not just change the normal skins to devil skins?".
Answer: Yeah I could but then I would have to change the facial expressions and I would need a way to work around the tail.
Because armour basically get's put on top of the naked skin picture and imagine what that would be like putting armour over a naked skin picture with a tail, as the armour would cover half of the tail.

New eo Patch planned (by Me)...

3 of my friends have requested changes to be made to create a certain patch so I shall do all of these on one patch.
1 friend wants Red Dress as a Panda suit, 1 wants Oron as devil while another wants Cleric as a devil....now to save confusion on that I think I should change the colour of one of the devil outfits...maybe to red.

My Xmas Patch v1.2

Since Christmas is now officially just around the corner I wont have enough time to add anymore touches to my xmas patch so I'll have to leave anymore changes to my xmas patch next year perhaps.
It wont be the last patch I do though, I'm sure I'll either do more holiday patches or just plain random patches...who knows?
Anywho here's screenshots of what's been done:


Plaot Robes & xmas hats (Male & Female hats) have been changed in colour to match...a nice shade of red with a white trim.


HOD's (Male & Female) have been given xmas hats.


Health Pot's both Small & Big have been edited to look like the colour of Egg Nog.

Friday 21st Dec

I was at my mate's house all day flat sitting and watching his sister's dog.
I was watching his flat coz someone tried breaking into it and probably would've taken my mate's new slim DVD player and his brother's Xbox 360.
Was on my own with his sister's dog for about 4 hours til his brother came back from work and he then gave me half a glass of apple flavoured beer (from Poland), it was quite nice actually.
Later that day I was drunk after having 3 shots of Vodka & 2 and a half cans of beer.
It was pretty much one hectic night though, I gave my mate's sister & hug for comfort and later gave her another one before I left for home to wish her a happy xmas.

EO Xmas Patch update

I've moved my xmas patch update's to being posted on here since they were too much whining & complaining over me doing something good for the eo community.

Update:
Big Health pots got changed into Big Egg nog health pots (small pots will soon follow).
The female's red dress will have a small adjustment done too it as they'll be a white stripe added to the bottom of the skirt.

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
