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

Beelzebubb: What was the name of that old underwater game that had 2 lesbians as leads. It wasnt this one was it?
Hmm sounds like this one, considering the box art and the reviews I'm reading xD
YES! Xmas songs have finished so I can decamp back downstairs to the main PC with the 42" screen :p

Actually, you're wrong. That is an accurate, but incomplete, list of what's been up in round 3. Missing items include: Book of Unwritten Tales, Thunderscape, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. There are a few others, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

istudedinre: Anyone else think that this last round should have just listed EVERY deal and let us buy the ones we're interested in? I'm out of patience waiting for La Mulana to come around... gonna check in haphazardly and will probably miss it.
avatar
Starmaker: If you're tired, buy it for the full price. The sale is entertainment. It's not worth your time to sit and wait. It's not even worth MY time, and minimum wage in Russia is like $170.
Watching this thread progress has been entertaining as well... :D

Infin8ty: Totally off-topic, but I seriously cannot go to Youtube anymore. It locks up my browser in less than a minute. Could it be a problem with my DNT's?
avatar
brunosiffredi: Have you tried to clear the browser cache? I had a similar problem earlier today and that fixed it.
That seems to have fixed it. Google just loves to break everything....

Kaitu: AquaNox looks like an underwater Decent II. Sound about right?
That's my impression as well.

BTCentral: No, many of those haven't been up yet.

Aspenwood: Actually, you're wrong.
Whoops, sorry could have sworn BG2 hadn't been round again yet, must have been asleep/not watching when it was.
avatar
Kaitu: AquaNox looks like an underwater Decent II. Sound about right?
Yep, at least from the reviews i read and the few minutes i spent testing the game.

between BG and Aquanox, won't let me post the list, will be surprised if this gets posted..
Doh! Rogue Legacy! That's one I was after. Curse you puny human body!

GhostwriterDoF: If there were no freebies in the mix, people wouldn't be waiting here, watching the ticker go down for hours at a time... :P
avatar
Cardian: I wouldn't be too sure about that. Many games like System Shock 2 and Planescape were gone in seconds. So, if you really want a game, you'd have to wait even without the chance of freebies.
Right you are, Cardian. I've done the Freebie Waiting thing now, and I missed a couple of "free" indies I had no intention of buying, but by waiting for the "freebies" I was able to nab two of my wishlisted games at $2 a pop. I was really hoping for Divine Divinity to show up as well for $2, but that's now $1.50 in an unlimited supply.
Great sale, not many games I want though.
