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

Wow, Jack bricked the forum. I was getting the bear trying to refresh the forum... Good one, Jack.
Well, it escalated quickly :D
So Jack returned and the forum passed out for a few minutes. So far 23 poor victims have been misled by the reviews - shame on you 5 star reviewers from last night ;)

But...this entire thread owes you our thanks :D

Edit: And they've gone! GOG, there weren't enough - put another 175 up, haha ;)
If you skip this Jack Kaene madness, you are stupid! I know it's insulting, but it's the truth!
25 people must have felt sorry for us LOL
I bet the reviews the game had were the leading reason why we saw 25 copies of it sold within few minutes ...

Good job, guys!
I bet there were no legitimate sales in that second Jack Keane sale. It was either GOG moving the counter down or it was the developer trying to salvage a reputation. ;)

EGGAADDDD!!!!

Don't do that!

On to a more pleasing note, picked up the one remaining from yesterday that I missed: Lords of Midnight. Yay!

Anything else is gravy!
Phew ... that was relatively painless, compared to yesterday! And the "LAST CHANCE" tag guarantees we won't be seeing Mr Keane's face again in this sale! :-D
Jack Keane 2 is so legendary it sold out even when the site was down
Teaching wife how to ninja'd freebies. So be kind to her, i'm going to sleep:)
And in fairness, I actually own JK2 already on GOG. It looks ok, it's just that compared to almost everything else in the sale it's not a very good deal...
Some of my posts seem to be getting lost, that or jacks blocking them. He seems to be good at that. :-0
