Resource Bookmarks
Posted: Wed Dec 09, 2009 1:15 pm
Post links to any resource sites (textures, sounds, sprites, models, etc) that you have bookmarked. Be sure to check that the links still work.
If everyone were to contribute to this thread, we'd quickly have a huge list of resources.
Newer links will be added to the bottom of the list.
