I've been fairly bored over the summer, so ive put together a roundup of my work on transcribing, and this time ive done more than just send u a bunch of PDF files. In addition to the PDFs, i've included the accual file (Printmusic! 2004 format) and a MIDI that people can listen to and get a general feel for the transcription, as well as for use on ringtones.
Halo Babies has a new strip up, writes mrsmiley, and they've also announced the winners of their avatar contest.

Five screenshots accompany the story, showing ZexGX's map clearly running in Aqua windows.
