If you know him that well, use an IM program. He asked for texture links, not shameless plugs.

and i see i am not the only one who has had to block casper due to childish behaviour :/

If you want realistic textures I would advise you to get a digital camera and take pictures of buildings such as the windows and frames, bricks, decorations etc... You're going to need a paint program like Adobe Photoshop to fix up the textures. It will take some skill and practice to know how to fix imperfections and make certain textures seamless.

If you can't get a digital camera but have a good paint program here is a site that has a lot of photos you could start fixing up for game content

Unfortunately, I don't have a link to a tutorial on how to make a texture seamless.
