Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

jamotide: Humm did Triad go up? I swear it was lower before I went to take a massive dump.

petitmal: Do you have a fast connection?

Knofbath: He's in Germany, so he's probably got a much lower ping to the GoG servers than the rest of us scrubs.
I live in Germany too, I do have a decent connection and I could not score even once.

Aranos: Not especially, normal ADSL2 (16 Mbit, ~50ms ping to gog.com) with ... unusual ethernet at home^^ (modem -> router -> ethernet-av-bridge -> router -> wlan)
Congrats! You have a lucky finger!
Although I wasted the better part of two work days glued to this event and bantering on the forum, I would not trade it for a free copy of every game offered during the last 48 hours. It's been fun. :-)
Hmmm I'll have to take a one-hour trip anytime during the next 4 hours. Maybe I should do it before RotT finishes selling.
Less than a hundred! We can do it!


...Think of it as a warmup for Jack.
Morning people. So whats happened since BG2 last night?.
At this rate the weekend promo will be along before Rise sells out... (I'm hoping for a stacking promo that includes Rise of the Triad, the Jack Keane games and Daikatana :P)

I'm off to do stuff, given up on silly dreams of nabbing free Magrunner or LSL Reloaded. Have a good night/afternoon/morning all and congratulations on the megathread, it has been fun!

Hope you can all get the games you want and don't have to suffer the agonies of Jack Keane 2 for too long :)

npalsensei: I'm pretty sure they said that to justify the crap they pulled with D3.

rtcvb32: Haha, that's funny. I say that because I was a kid when D2 came out and I didn't have much money or internet, and as I'm sure with the rest of the US we aren't guaranteed an internet connection over 56Kbit (dial-up) so probably the game would have failed as a product.
The only good thing about battlenet back then was that you could trade some drops for the ones you wanted with others instead of running double and triple the number of runs to get the same item, if at all. Other than that, it was a major pain. I can't understand why would anyone want their perfectly single player game be locked in an online prison.

If you wait your four hours are gone...
"LAST CHANCE". that's new. last game?

nijuu: Morning people. So whats happened since BG2 last night?.
Third and last round. Frist game now.

mondo84: That means we could be facing 200 copies of Jack Keane if round three repeats everything again.
I literally just did this when I read that line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcinzmfZeCc

He's pinging at 50ms, I've got to hop the ocean before I'm even in the neighborhood (130ms).

Drerhu: Damn, it´s hard to keep posting here (I´m having a good time with you people : ) and keep watching the sale! (A chat could be awesome for next time Gog xd)
You just need a second screen, one for forum on for gog-frontpage :D
