Another less common side effect to playing CD-Rs on your DC. It happened to my friend once. Fact.

An even more chilling occurrence is when the ghost of Segata Sanshiro suddenly appears in your room when you are using CDRs.

He will throw you.

And you WILL explode.

Hell, I'm sick right now with a fever, and I've got the temperature up to 75 F in this room in which I'm camping out, and I'm still shivering and can barely concentrate.

There are a couple other peeps here in Cleveland, too. We outta get something together, especially with fighters, so that I can loose a lot ;)
