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

watson415: Did I miss Planescape Torment over night? I stayed up watching Unwritten Tales rick away slowly last night and then had to give up because of morning class.
SAme story, same question hours ago. Relax, it's being a slow day. Seems like they are putting all the keanes first today so they get rid of them
Ah good, waking up to Divinity Dragon Commander.

Hope that means lots of Keane like deals that went at a snail's pace while I was asleep.

Edit: lol I went to sleep when Thunderscape started and this is the only one after it so far.

DukeDuvel: Hey guys/gals, thank you for the entertaining thread! Been helping me keep awake :). Have I missed you on Alpha Centauri or any of the bullfrog games? (Startopia, Theme Hospital, DK2?)
nope, still to come :)
86 is a cursed number...

First JK2 and now this @.@

wanderlust76: I agree I like the art and overhead view in DD. I like the art in the games back in the early to mid 2000's in general. I wish more games like DD would come out seems like all the game makers focus on first person RPG's like Skyrim now.

Fezred: Likewise. I never enjoyed the early 3D stuff as much (though there were a few exceptional games worthy of attention) and I think it has dated so much worse than the 2D art based games. The Fallout and BG style views and art were a peak of the genre for me. BG2 was astonishingly beautiful in parts. I'm not a fan of the super-deformed or garish cartoon styles that have crept in and become common in the post-WOW era either.
+1 I couldn't stand the early 3D. I was actually puzzled why would anyone do that when he could do some pretty awesome 2D till 3D gets at an acceptable level.
Thanks Alien8n... guess I'll imprint the boxcover image of dragon commander a bit more on my memory engrams... (gets into staring mode once more)

GR3G0R14N: Hi guys, did i miss someting extraordinary [in terms of speed selling] till Divinity climb the main page: [Thief 1 - 3, Baldur or Neverwinter to count few]
Hey, I don't know when you left, the only one that sold fast was BG2 in the third round, no Thief or NWN games so far. :)

xenxander: I would love a gifted copy of this game ^_^

I mean I ran out of money yesterday on my 8th purchase. I am just hoping maybe for one of the 'free' ones and get very lucky, now
I guess everyone would take a gifted copy (because that would mean it would finally sell out).
I would take one too, but asking for that is madness. ;)

Nope there were a bunch of unreported flash sales. We aren't allowed to talk about them or we wil be removed from this planet
yay, it's turned orange :)
85 left....

Where's the Gong from The Gong Show, when we need it? ;)

Correct.

Fezred: So give her the same work again.

Alien8n: This is why all work should be emailed to people, so you can then forward the email back to them and cc their boss with "while i don't expect an apology I will ask that you do not call me a liar when I have clearly done the job you have asked for previously as evidence by the attached email."

I've had bosses like that, even walked out of a job because of one of them :/
Too right. Any system that lets you have the back up of time stamps is well worth it if you know you'll always be in right in these situations. It's a super tool to have in the back pocket and can save a lot of time. Also, nothing sweeter than putting someone like that in their place in style and without you losing your cool.

A good boss can make or break almost any job. It can go from heaven and a joy to hell and endless misery with a changeover.

I remember getting lost on many early 3D titles... Since all the walls looked the same (same texture an all) i found myself lost on many games.
Only a few games did early 3D right! Like daggerfall and arena.
