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

Captain_Picard: Just wondering, does that list include round 1?

nijuu: The ones i noted were round 2. Some said Wargame was a slow mover.... but i assume there were smaller numbers as well...i missed the 1st round entirely
Alright, just checking. I missed round 1 as well.
Who's here to just snatch free games? :3

Ninlil: Well, damn. Thanks to Eador slowing things down, and having just seen Myst, I made a search to see if Cyan was still alive, and they are doing a Kickstarter for a Myst-like game: Obduction. Yay! Price: 25$ Ya... ahem. They already have reached their goal!
avatar
nijuu: Wait. has Myst already gone?
Yes
Googbye and good riddance.

That was the last sale of this kind I will ever participate in. I learned my lesson here. GOG is not able to get their numbers straight, people are bored to death in a flash sale.

Austrobogulator: So, what are people doing while they watch the counter slowly go down? I'm listening to Zelda music :|
Hotline Miami music over here.

Nope, I'm here hoping to actually net the games I want on this third pass. The first two times they showed up, I never was able to get them for one reason or another.

I was playing Football Manager mobile on my smartphone, but it ran out of battery, so i decided to start posting.
just seeing whether the 'page bug' also occurs in IE (was using Chrome before)

edit: it did.

Also, the reply box is too big for my poor netbook. can barely see the 'reply' button :(

Man this has slowed down so much Zimbabwe's economy just overtook it...

pbnjoe: It has.

nijuu: ahhhh...thanks :)
I should've bought it as a gift key like I was thinking instead of direct to my account; I was suspecting someone would want it more than me (I have the original Myst on disc still) :\
I can´t wait more for the next game, well this is it time to go to the bed.

BB all.

Hopefully the numbers of people with fingers at the ready for freebies have thinned out :P
So when do we get our t-shirts?
Oh and to be honest, Eador looks like a game right up my alley!

I just don't have the 6 bucks, when I usually am paying the 2 bucks for the games on sale :\

*sigh*

This 'is' a game I would buy.
