Yeah, there's some I could use. I'd like to have anagrams of
things like this in the game... i want there to be something
poetic/random/wierd/un-mainstream about it. but not so much
as to be shoving a message down players throats.
i wonder now if patrick was suggesting an anagram:
"you're speeding aren't you?"?
maybe if he designs the " ' ? icons i could do that ;-)
xcf format pls, 256x256 original, scaled to 64x64 png.
chars,
jwm
