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

Knofbath: We've got nearly no chance at hitting the freebies, the servers are in Poland and we can't get low enough ping times.

JohnnyCash: This gives me an idea. Let's all post our ping time to gog.com. Mine is 56 ms.
I'm going to do this and make everyone feel better. 1177ms on my Satellite internet. I don't even bother trying for freebies.

Knofbath: 130ms

bell02: how to chek this?
To get your ping, pull up a command console "Start>Accessories> Command Console" and type "ping gog.com" without the quotes.
188ms (oh boy)

Infin8ty: I have an amazing 138 ms ping to GOG. And I also somehow snagged a freebie a while back (SS2 I think).
How come I can't get the freebies? My ping is 15 ms :/

open cmd in windows and type ping www.gog.com.

Prydeless: Sometimes I wonder if i'm clicking too fast on the freebies... I see the count going down, not too fast, as I switch to the tab which says the offer for the free game has expired.

johnnygoging: if you already see the count going down I doubt that means you're clicking too fast. that means someone else clicked, it went from them to gog.com, gog.com tabulated that and updated you, and then you click.
Well it's more like I click as soon as I see the banner change and as I switch to the other tab, I'm seeing the countdown
288ms here. I got two free games, so that can't be an issue.
172 ms, average of 159.

Smashing.
129ms :(
33ms

still not good enough :/
I cannot believe it! I got my first free game (TA). My ping to www.gog.com is about 37-50 ms
Well isn't this depressing, my average ping was 379. :(
