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

mortalkombat: how do you make a paypal account?
does it have any additional/charging fee?

is paypal linked to a card like visa or mastercard? or is it independent?
avatar
Coelocanth: You go to Paypal.com and go through the signup process. Mot sure if it's offered in all countries or not though. There are charges for every transaction, but the seller pays the charge, not the buyer. You can link to your debit or credit card if you want, but that's not the only way to do it.
can I make an account, put exactly 20 dollars into this account, buy a game from GOG that costs exactly 20 dollars?
will I be charged anything from putting money into paypal account, or when making the 20usd purchase?
and I mean, deposit 20usd in paypal account, not link it to a credit-card or anything

Captain_Picard: No offense, but that is not anywhere related to what I was talking about.

mortalkombat: no man, I know...

ita just, about 7-10 hours ago, we were making jokes that Jack Keane will go on sale eventually for free, and no-one will be getting it, and it will stall the queue for hours etc.....
Okay, I kinda get what you are saying. What I was saying that it did go on sale for free right after it stalled the sale for 5 hours.
9 NINE to go

Bovrillor: Shadowman hasn't aged well.

At all.

Russonc: For under $2, it's probably at least a few hours of entertainment.... (of course I have such a game back log now that It is probably more like a $2 donation :) )
The sound effect of your gun firing makes me turn it off within 5 mins. Seriously. It's soooo bad
avatar
Blooglspash: Has anyone kept track of how long this one has been on sale?
Definitely not 5 hours, like Jack Keane 2.
Man, the Gog community really does hate new games. Once again, it's a post-2010 game that's taking forever

truhlik77: Jack Rise : The Triad Case

- probably most selling game in GoG
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Why you so mean with Jack and the Triad? ;-P
Because we have a nice czech saying: (Sorry, it's untranslatable)

Jeden za osmnact a druhej bez dvou a dvacet.
Seriously. I went to bed when ROTT was up. Woke up and... still ROTT.

Is it the curse of Jackkeanetwo?

mkell_226: I'm guessing, based on the "last chance" on the counter, that we're entering the End Times.
And not a moment to soon. Can't wait for this to be over.
So, haven't checked up on this in a while but I assume RotT has been up forever since it's got a mountain of recent 5-star reviews now?

Bovrillor: is this the pattern?

http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/1qjevg/gog_fall_insomnia_megathread_limited_quantity

I've been watching like a hawk and it seemed to jump past 30 titles at once
avatar
Knofbath: There isn't a pattern, it's picking random titles from the 101 game list. I dropped a alphabetical list with prices in the /r/patientgamer thread for the sale.
That is not quite, though. So far, one game was picked to start and then the next 4-5 games followed in the same order that they had in the first round. Then another game was picked at random and again 4-5 games followed in the correct order. The next game should then be Septerra Core.

Apparently there is a certain pattern. Earlier tonight, people were predicting the next ~3 games quite accurately. They said they come in a certain order, but that it jumps to another random game every few games and then continues the order again from there.
It feels just like the New Years count down.
After a tough long year, the new year might be better, worse, or Jackpot!
