I'm looking foward to expending some energy on marketing now. To date, marketing has been Lara and myself quickly snapping screenshots, throwing some text over the top, and posting them in our forums and GG forums.
I'm really, really pleased with how the game turned out. It's really a bit nuts.

I thought MoM wasn't to be released until the 15th. If you do get a linux port available, I can see about getting a little news blip about it put up at pcburn.com. Congrats on everything Josh and crew.

It's not clear on the website whether or not the game is a download or CD-ROM.
Or is either option available?

We serve the Dedicated World Server with source code via our DSL uplink. I now love it when our internet slows down, because 90% of the time it's someone snagging the world server :)There's a world server being hosted by some "goons" from http://www.somethingawful.com ... that is so sweet :)
