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

Coelocanth: This really depends on what type of character you're playing. Unfortunately, the way Obsidian designed the mechanic, it's absolutely no issue if your character is a good-aligned (and generally lawful type) character. If you're evil, it can be an extreme pain in the ass.

mantarrochen: How would you go about replenishing the spirit energy again? You could consume other living beings, right? I figure that would be pretty evil...
You could consume spirits or suppress the hunger (for a while)... here's a mod that makes it easier to do that (slows down the spirit meter, makes using suppress easier and such).

There's also a way to turn it off using console commands (I think).

I had a different solution -- I just played it multiplayer and made the other person be the spirit-eater. ;)
Is BG1, Planescape, and Icewind Dale due for a repeat soon?

Frostedshots: Is Unwritten Tales worth picking up, or is it a pass?

Captain_Picard: It is a good point and click game, it is up there with Monkey Island.

It has an excellent script, a wonderful story, humor, strong characters, nice graphics and smart puzzles. It is a must buy if you love point and click games.
Well, can't argue with the captain and you can't go wrong with a good p&c. Just hope Tales doesn't take as long as Jack did . . .

Limblessk9: Is BG1, Planescape, and Icewind Dale due for a repeat soon?
No way to tell. The game order is pretty random at this point.

Was kind of hoping for Rogue Legacy, but at this rate I'll just wait for the holiday sale and eat the $2.50 higher cost.
Think I'm safe hitting the hay now, Unwritten Tales seems to be another JK2. Hopefully don't miss many of the "last chances" before getting up for work tomorrow! Good night and good luck fellow GOGers.

Hehe, thats pretty smart. Thanks for the mod suggestion I definitely need to give NWN 2 + addons another try. Are the addons included in the offer here at GOG?

Ah I see. Well, crossing my fingers! Work be damned, I might have to stay up to catch them.

Yep, it's the complete edition, which includes NWN2, MotB, SoZ, and MoW.
Anyone doing a stream for Unwritten Tales?
