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

AttObl: While I do want System Shock 2, I'll be happy if I can get Nexus.

Is Eador worth it?
avatar
jpwiseguy: I think it's worth $5.99.
In fact, it is so worth it that you should buy a couple for every 'friend' you have on facebook.

CorranHorn: In Sword of truth, Wizards are born with the magic but need to train to be able to use it.
avatar
Alien8n: It varies but in classic RPG anyone can train to be a wizard, but sorcerors are born. In this fashion most elves are actually sorcerors, being creatures of magic.
In Discworld, a Sorceror is the 7th Son of a 7th Son. Or something.

In reality, I want to do unspeakable things to a fictional wizard on a game boxart. DIE EADOR DIE
I swear, the wizard is evil.

Alien8n: Oh, anyone on here a fan of the really early Final Fantasy games check out Evoland when it comes back round. Really interesting concept.
Evoland was a game I was thinking about maybe getting, but by the time I decided to snag it the 'stock' ran out. I had to fish out my credit card because I wasn't planning on making a purchase at that point. >_<

Kaitu: Here's what should be left for sale in Round Three (not including whatever is left as freebies):
[...]
58. Thunderscape $2.39
[...]
105. Thunderscape $2.39

TheJadedOne: So two more shots at Thunderscape? (I've only actually been remembering to look at the GOG page maybe once every few hours -- little chance I actually catch it. Maybe there's a firefox plugin that will sound an alarm when a keyword shows up...)
Yeah. Last couple are duplicates.

Devoidless: Even though the question was already answered, I'm giving you a bonus point. Why? Because I always make my sorcerers elves because of that reasoning.
I have a slight advantage (over the usual being a geek who has played since D&D v1.0)
I also know a few people in the trade :) (mainly artists, like Gary Chalk and Julie Dillon)

CorranHorn: Yes I remember reading something about this, could it have been in LOTR?
Honestly I have no idea. I just remember picking up on that when I was really young and running with it ever since.

the 7th son of a 7th son is a Wizard the 7th son of the 7th son of the 7th son is a Sorcerer

Discworld, now those are some really good games and the books are among the funniest I ever read, only hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and Tom Sharpe are as funny as Pratchet.

Hey, nice Avatar, Fallout for the win :D
8th son of an 8th son actually

or the 7A son of a 7A son

AttObl: Is Eador worth it?
Yes!

Buy copies for yourself, your friends, your family, your coworkers, your enemies. Share the joy of Eador!

*I haven't played the game and can't provide an actual opinion, but I couldn't resist a probably tired joke :P

I heard a rumour that Jack Keane was the 7th son of a 7th son...
Not only does Eador have a Broken World, but it just BROKE this sale.

Eador is the new Jack Keane 2.
