This is weird... they just redesigned the site and added a rating system of thumbs up/thumbs down percentage.

Very weird indeed.

I sent, friday, an email to Jeff Stys... it was about starting an ad campaign on his site.. I never got a reply...

Something's wrong, obviously..

But it doesn't say anything like that...

Is that part of their site new? Maybe they had to reconfigure DNS settings....

MindFad is creating Zelda icons that will blow the XP version away. Also, those same futurama icons are available for OS X...if you check out the authors site you'll see that.

They won't be cut out images, that's for sure.

I sure didn't see either set on xicons. With the Futurama icons it is kinda strange becuase the author does both on his site.

Wow those are nice. Have you thought about making a Windwaker mailbox icon? I've thought about doing one myself but I'm not sure I'd get the texture right.

I'll do a mailbox one for volume 2. Maybe one with and without mail (to be used as a trash can even). I'm also doing a treasure chest opened and closed, which would also make a cool trash can, I think.
