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

BelowTheBelt: Cool. Thanks. Do most people DL these games and put them on zip drive for safekeeping/backup? Is that possible?
Yup. That's the joy of DRM-free, you can download and save the install files just like regular mp3s. They can be put on another computer and installed there, or saved for months and months, whatever you want.

Craig234: You're doing great.

I'd suggest Heroes maybe top of the list to try.

Do ZIP drives still exist?

Anyway, mines get stored on an external network drive.

Briareos262: I've so missed so many comi-cons.....just too poor to go...even tho there not too far....
I live very close to SDCC so I'm able to go at little cost. Plus, it helped that I'm a volunteer so I can get in for free. :D

Lot of fun times to be had.

justanoldgamer: I'm thinking of ordering in for dinner, probably chicken with the poutine DLC.

TwistedFate: Don't fall for the DLC. It was supposed to be included, they just pulled it out so they get more money. Greedy bastards.
If you pre-order you get the cheese curds and gravy DLC included with the poutine though.

Yes it´s possible, without any DRM there isn´t any protection that is in the way so to speak=). Got some of the games from GoG on my external drive and some of Humble Bundle as well.

But, as with any other good Day 1 DLC, dinner just isn't complete without it.
I haven't bought anything during this promo, strangely nothing seemed to give me that "I need to play it now" feeling.

CorranHorn: Speaking of old adventure games, anyone here that played Future Wars=)?
Future wars is amazing. I started it but i still have to finish the story; not that i got blocked, it's just that i started playing something else and left it halfway. I will go back at it and complete the story for sure, tho. It's brilliant.

If anyone missed Deus Ex during this sale greenmangaming has it this weekend for $1.74. I think it's for a Steam copy but still 75% off.
