I love Puzzle Quest. I already owned it for my PSP and yesterday when it was released on XBLA temptation got the better of me and I purchased it almost immediately... even at the painful price of 1200 MS points (which, as was widely covered yesterday, is like a million dollars up here in Canada).
Later in the evening I was watching my better half play the game when she suddenly decided that she didn't like the Druid class and wanted to roll a new character.
DO YOU WANT TO QUIT THE GAME
[A] YES ----- [B] NO
wtf?
ZOMG!!!
Sitting there innocently representing the A and B buttons were the graphics that I created to help out the XNA community. After this my eyes were wide open and searched every screen... all the button graphics throughout the entire game were my own little creations.
I suppose I shouldn't be shocked. The buttons are the most popular download, and are freely available on my downloads page.

And while I
never expect any monetary gain for doing any community work (I volunteer my time to MS for the comic), I kinda feel like a game in the top tier of pricing on XBOX Live should probably have paid a professional to make their graphics for them and not used free stuff from the web.
Of course... compared to my awesome set, they probably would have been ass anyway.
See you on Live,
Jeff
