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

mondo84: So our potential showstoppers remaining in this round are:

Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller $10.09
Omerta: City of Gangsters + all DLC $7.99
Wargame: European Escalation $6.69
Divinity: Dragon Commander Imperial Ed. $22.49
Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded $7.99
Magrunner: Dark Pulse $9.99
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum $5.99

Going mainly by the highest priced items.
I was going to ask what the potential 'stallers' would be. Thanks for pre-empting the question :)

jackster79: Not complaining - just an observation... it takes almost 2 hours for Eador to get to about 30, and then within 10-15 min down from 30 to single digits? What gives? Either some generous souls are still out there, the staffers are doing something behind the scenes, or we have this group of buyers that have been hiding for the last 2 hours....
Imo it's a normal reaction. Someone unsure of a game will wait until the low number will force him/her to take an impulsive decision. Last chance! Now or never!
This is becoming way to far from an 'insomnia sale' im about to hit my 27th hour being awake

darkmoment: Waiting for system shock 2 and war game.
Now I have an urge for sword of the start too.

bew1977: You'll be waiting a VERY long time for SS2... It's already over
For real?
Well, Christmas draw near. GOG definitely has some killer promo around that time. I can wait.

CarrionCrow: So....anyone else just attempting to hang on for the sake of retrieving one or two items and throwing all common sense to the wind in the name of sheer stubborn compulsiveness?

jackster79: Well, I am one of those, but my will to remain is fading (the fact that I have to get up for work tomorrow may have something to do with that). Going to see how long it takes for Sniper Elite to go down... if it is quick I will try to stick around. Otherwise, off to bed.
Hang in there mate!

The more people that drop out, the dumber I feel :P

edit: I know S-Shock2 FREEBIE is gone, but isn't the $2 version still to come?

Aye... Maybe they'll just pack all the games from this sale into a humongous pack, price it lower than the combined prices of all of them right now, and just laugh at us for hours.
Why am i not surprised Elite Sniper is a slug....its not really a good game going by reviews :/

That is insane and admirable at the same time. The tenacity and endurance, wow. I hope you get your waiting for.
Must....stay.........a..wake...

Primordia has still to show up for the third and final round.
So, I missed nothing in the last hour and a half?

It's okay, probably worth 2 quid if you like semi stealth games I guess. Have it on steam myself.

I already own that game... shame. It was two bucks when I got it, so I don't feel so bad.
