I've told my super artist friend dude, who ended up pre-ordering and even posts on these forums occasionally.

Just because I have other things I'd rather do than market somebody else's game doesn't mean that I'm a bad salesperson.

But I did show the game to my bro and a few friends.

I joined the ops, made a thread about it on Facepunch Studios, spammed the holiday link in the chats I usually hang out in, linked to the holiday deal in my MSN nick, and I'm nagging all my friends about it.

That's great!

I have a friend who I introduced to Lugaru, and he thinks it's awesome, so he's also pretty excited about Overgrowth.

Yeah, I had that in the back of my head every single time I was talking about Lugaru with/to/at someone...

"Dude... I'm advertising some game that isn't out yet to people who may or may not be interested for some company which I've taken a liking to without really knowing any of its members personally, and I'm doing it for free!"

That's why it's so powerful. If you hear about Overgrowth from a friend who has not been paid or otherwise compensated for sharing it, it's very meaningful. It comes from the heart -- not the bank account.

I guess that does count for a lot.

But for me, the greatest part is watching this game become more and more awesome (in the original sense of the word), while basking in the honey-dew content knowledge that I've already paid for it and practically already have it.

I toast... *raises glass*
To WOLFIRE!

I eat my toast off of a plate, not from a glass.
