RE: Great resources

I love all the new stuff =] Not going to download them all, but MakeHuman looks most interesting to me. Is there a way you could change the title to something different like "Creative Programs" or something like that? I feel the title is a bit misleading.

RE: Great resources

How about "Resorces to creating a good custom story"?

Idk I'm terrible with naming

I've come to learn to not fear the living, nor the dead... But the monsters that hide in closets.
