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

groze: Man, the Keanegate lasted 5 hours. I survived them, I know. No other game stalled the sales as much as Jack Keane 2. It went from 1 AM to 6-ish AM (GMT 0).

cpucrust: If I might add, I was there during Keangate as well. At first it was painful, and then all the jokes started rolling in along with the funny reviews people were spamming to the review section.
Me too. While the sale was obviouslly stalled, it was really funny in the forum. So in my book it was a good time.

FoxySage: Hmm... considering waiting for Thief 1-3 after seeing so many waiting on it. Never played any of the games, is it really that good of a series?
avatar
Buenro-games: First real rogue/stealth game ever.
I really enjoyed Metal Gear Solid. Is it safe to say that I'll enjoy Thief, too, then? Or is that not a sensible comparison at all?

FoxySage: Hmm... considering waiting for Thief 1-3 after seeing so many waiting on it. Never played any of the games, is it really that good of a series?
Yes it is. Thief 2 is the best game ever (for me of course).
avatar
Faenwulf: I feared this would happen with Don't Starve. Well, I'll probably get a bit of sleep soon.
Hopefully Witcher 2 will come some time tomorrow after I'm up. Asking for someone to snatch it for me is a tad bit much.
But maybe somebody will keep an eye out for Aquanox 1 for me?

Hoping all you guys get the games you still want.
Aquanox 1 already did its 3 rounds, it's out.

Johnmourby: Keane didn't last that long. It's more that it was embarrassing for fifty copies of a game to sell so slow,
You're definitely not talking about the same Jack Keane 2 sale. Jack Keane 2 took 5 hours to sell, I shit you not. It stalled at 83 for at least 45 minutes.

You're probably talking about another round.
Don't Starve, Jack Keane!

It is really good, played all parts and now waiting for part 4 which comes next year.

Elinnea: Oh dear, I was thinking of starting up one of my new games while waiting for the sale slowdown to unfreeze itself, but now I'm paralyzed with indecision. Too many good choices, all of a sudden!
Do something. Sleep, play a new game, this is going to take at least 30 o 45 minutes,

Nirth: Nexus and Mulana hasn't been on the last chance round yet, right?

nijuu: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/add_linux_versions_of_games

add your vote. Good number want it to happen

Xabyer_B: Long time ago I voted. But Gog don't want supports Linux, so I prefer buy in humble bundle because I have windows and linux DRM-Free games.
I dont know why they dont... but oh well...

FoxySage: Hmm... considering waiting for Thief 1-3 after seeing so many waiting on it. Never played any of the games, is it really that good of a series?
Thief is the game that really showed how to do Stealth, MG may have been one of the first Stealth games but Thief was the first FPS. The AI is impressive even today, and the level design is simply amazing,

Revenile: Nobody? Well thanks anyway, thought it was worth an ask.
I missed it, what were you looking for?
NW2 finally got it and very happy $3.99 was a great price.... :)
