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

Thanks.

I would, but I can't pay that much. But I can spread the word...

TheSupremeForce: Eador truly does seek to become Master of a Broken World. I wonder if the Triad is involved.

Captain_Picard: I bet they are involved, it's a conspiracy!
Indeed, the only way a lad of this age would have such a full beard is if he is a wizard. Wizards are born with such beards.

Bovrillor: 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

CorranHorn: 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.
Terry's a great guy, had the pleasure of his company a few years back. Turned down going for a meal with him though as I don't like curry, lol

ryanyth: *looks at eador*
C'mon old man gtfo already!! Stop eadorkeane us!!

Seriously tho, gog should have put more
Thought and put in a damn timer.
These slow movers are wasting our time
And cutting into their chance for more sales.
Doubt it. If they're gonna stick with the whole "ain't stoppin' 'til we run out" thing, then they're gonna sell what they're gonna sell, no matter what order they use.

AttObl: I swear, the wizard is evil.
Of course he is, you can see the magic in his eyes stopping the counter...
The longer Eador sits there, the less I want it. Sure, it had poor reviews, but seeing it sit there for an hour while people refuse to buy it at 70% off is really driving home how much the GOG community hates this game in a way that a mere numerical rating never could.

DCT: the 7th son of a 7th son is a Wizard the 7th son of the 7th son of the 7th son is a Sorcerer
Well remembered. It's been about a decade since I read that one.

Kudos to everyone who knew what I was talking about. And the Fallout fan.

I've started compiling a list of evil things I want to do to the Eador wizard. I think they're too dark for public view however.

Your logic makes no sense.
Zzzzz lets move on allready
Here is my wishlist for this sale:
Planescape: Torment ---I NEEED THIS ONEEEE
Icewind Dale 2 Complete ---- Also needed...
The temple of elemental evil ---- want this game so badly...
Neverwinter Nights Diamond ---- NEED THIS already got NwN 2
BG2---- Do i need to say how much i NEED this?

If someone have giftable copies please contact me! I have steam keys to trade :( or if you have a kind and generous soul... I wouldn't mind :D
Eador seems like it is a game similar to Civ 5, except with Mythical Races. I would buy this game if it did work, too bad it doesn't.
YELLOWISH-ORANGE COUNTER BAR!

YELLOWISH-ORANGE COUNTER BAR!

WE'RE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, FOLKS!
I went out for a while, could someone tell me what games have passed in the third round?
This may be that wizard's last chance, but he's determined to make it count! Maybe we'll be rid of him in an hour.

jackster79: that list started repeating towards the end
You're right -- and the 3 games before Thunderscape were the same both times, so if I see any of those three maybe I should pay closer attention because Thunderscape may be coming shortly there-after:
