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

Damnitalltohell I'm going to sleep for real...
I'll be back in 7 hours or so, I really do hope I haven't missed out on NWN2 or Theme Hospital by then
Happy hunting guys

dsross: As an idea for future sales, instead of freebies why not give a random chance of getting it for free only when you try to buy it? That way it goes to someone that genuinely wanted the game instead of someone that clicked the fastest before even seeing what it was.
That is a great idea. Specific units could be the free ones and if you manage to hit that one while ordering, you get it for free.
you know what would be hard! ... when they put up jack keane with 2000 copys and after that one Neverwinter nighst free :S

...gosh.. what ever...its weekend ^^
Ughh I've spent so much money in the last few days on this, while still going to work and going out in the evening. My phone drained this morning watching the site. I absolutely love this idea.
I have NWN lying around in hard copy somewhere in the depths of my family house. I remember I liked the plague plot when I played it. I'm behind on the iso classics.

Inquisitor's great though. It gets a bad rap but one of my favourite games is Vagrant Story, tedium is my lifeblood.

nijuu: ;)

How are you guys finding the customer comments on the sale? ;)

JudasIscariot: Two thumbs up for the funny ones :)
Judas is back! Welcome!

MGShogun: Yeah, I remember that it pop up and I had a chance to grab it. But I chose not to because I was waiting for the other games.

TMI :(

Kaitu: When was that? Only D&D I have seen was BG2.
This was a while ago, I'm sure I saw it pop up and I thought to myself I don't need it because I already have the disc version D: I could be wrong, but I don't believe I am XD

Khalaq: The smart people grabbed NWN and NWN2 yesterday/last night. Both of them sold so fast that the numbers were practically scrolling.
My exact regrets. I sort of just sat their while NWN2's counter depleted, and now find myself desperately waiting for it to reappear again.
I'm gonna make people hate me:

I have never, EVER played Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale. And I have no intention of doing so, since i really dislike the whole Group-RPG Format.
I prefer focusing on one character.

Well, better duck and cover now.... ;)
FTL should have been here in this sale

MGShogun: It was around dinner time last night, iirc.

I did scooped up BG2.
You sure that wasn't a freebie? I have (as sad as this is going to sound) seen every listing since round three started and never saw that one for sale.

FreDDaN: So how many energy drinks or caffeine drinks have you drunk sofar because of the sale? 5+ for me sofar.
avatar
Bovrillor: Two cups of coffee every hour for the last 31ish hours.

I've also taken the two largest dumps of my life.

I feel so ill :/
You need a sleep. At current condition, you are an organism that fully operates in auto-functioning mode.

I've been here mostly all day too, and not seen it pop up yet. Even the people posting lists are saying that NWN Diamond Ed is still to come and not been shown in the 3rd Rounds list.

DukeDuvel: Hmm, just opened my 3rd beer... then again, I'm dutch.... and old...

Stilton: That made me smile ;)

I'm British and old and I need to smile on my third night running without sleep...
Hmm, sleep issues are ongoing as I have two kids aged 3 and 5 and a wife... and work, and studies.... Woah! So this is relaxing and entertaining for me.... hmmm. Should think on that ;-)
