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

Frostyfirefly: Did you guys know the story about when Lord British entered Ultima Online as a player character, and all the player killers practically disintegrated him with spells? :p

wackyanne: I was actually playing UO at the time... didn't last long afterwards tho
Cool, you forgot to add "I was the first one to attack him" ;)

itchy01ca01: How is it compared to Torchlight 2?
avatar
N0w3gg: 1st torchlight is closer to Diablo 2, as in there arn't any charge systems. Also, only 3 classes, but a decent amount of customization. The underlying gameplay is solid enough to make the game great, despite a story that's easy to ignore. Ability to send pet to town to sell any and all loot you don't want is awesome.
And graphically it's way better than Diablo 2

N0w3gg: I was a PC gamer before I played Deus Ex, and I'm still one now.

Chevette: Yes, because you've played it. So you are a TRUE PC gamer. Before Deus Ex we barely knew what gaming was.... (I am being silly of course, having played PC games since you had to use floppies and swap them multiple times in order to play anything... and you had to have another blank one to save your game... IF you could save it.)
Ah, the invention of saving... good times. I still have manuals full of passwords scribbled into them.

The Good Wife.
So, barring skips, next 2 after StallLight will be Masters of Orion then Planscape. Know a lot of you are looking for Planescape so fingers crossed for you.
Torchlight 2 is pretty cool too, but the cinematics stutter in a lot of cases, regardless of performance, and the customer support is terrible :/

The Torchlight series is made by the same guys who made Diablo 1 & 2. They first made Fate then Torchlight. Fate was experimental with some new things (mainly pets really) and Torchlight refined it to the beautiful thing we all know and love.

Mandylion: Yep - not going away anytime soon...

Lord British would be proud of such staying power, undaunted against all suggestions to change.

Actually it was ONE pk. And he theoretically was unkillable, it's just that they were doing a reset of the game and he forgot to put the unkillable switch on when his avatar restarted. He told it himself, i've watched him being asked about that story by Chris Roberts on a streaming video during the Star Citizen Kickstarter campaign.
Or are you referring to a different story?

Cardian: Yeah.... great move.... thanks.... ;)
Yes, it seems like a bad idea now that we are waiting around for the last set of copies to sell. Hindsight...

Ugh yes, I have those somewhere too. It was wonderful to have the save feature... until you accidentally reused that floppy for something else. (We learned the hard way to put tape over the write protect tab on the floppy.)

You just reminded me of Eye of the Beholder when you mentioned floppies. Which then reminded me of how I can't draw maps to save my life. Gotta love impromptu word association. lol.

Oh hello Memory Lane... I think I've penned down about 200 Populous world codes, populous 1 that is :) and then came part 2....
