I'm using photoshop. I downloaded the icons like mountains and trees and castles -- as brushes. People made them and distribute them for free for other people to make their maps and stuff. for the paper quality I just downloaded a jpeg of old paper and then drew on that. It's a lot simpler than it might seem, but it helps to know photoshop pretty well.
we're thankful for you too, Cary!
PS4 is pretty badass.
yeah you know, I'm curious about that game after not giving one flying fuck about years of COD. How is it?
Don't get tasered either!!
My PS3 disc drive doesn't work. Well, at least I can play digital games. I'm thankful for Pixlbit too. 
those lenses are pretty cool! I have an iphone 4 and the pics it takes aren't so good. But I'm gonna get a new phone soon, and hope to take more pics with it.
I'm thankful for my family and my dogs, and my projects which take up my time. I wish I could be thankful there's an Eagles game on today, but honestly I'm dreading it!
yeah I am having a ball with map making. really good exercise for the imagination!
I know you love those EDF games. It's too bad your friend isn't into them anymore. They seem like fun co-op.
Yeah, the site was down for a while. But it's back now!
I know, I know, you're supposed to use the clothes washer. I'm not stupid!
