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

Total raised when Don't Starve is done will be $256,695.35.
I took a hint from the game and cooked up some leftovers from dinner :)

Must remember to get the singapore noodles from a different takeaway next time, these are like lava...

wackyanne: I suppose that it's too much to ask for the lame Jack Keane mashups to stop?
I was there, it was painful. Didn't want to buy it, didn't want to sleep, didn't want to miss something I wanted, and we didn't know then that there'd be three chances for each game....

Seriously, though, out of nearly 200,000 posts, I think Jack Keane jokes account for at least 25K :/
I Kean't blame you for wanting them to stop, it's a painful memory.

Take our money! All of it! Everybody who's not broke by the end is doin' it wrong!

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!

Cruin: i know that feeling, I decided to play Planescape Torment. What did you pick?
I kind of want to try Geneforge, but it might be better to wait for a bigger chunk of time on that one. My complete impulse buy was Book of Unwritten Tales, maybe I should try it out and see if I feel buyer's remorse or not. :P

Take it easy, just choose one and play to the end. One by One.
Allright I won't make it. Good night to you all.

moltobene: I had classes, did I miss Nexus: The Jupiter Incident or Alpha Centauri?
Nope, they each still have a last chance left, AFAIK.

This sale is taking long, but surely not THAT long, better divide those numbers by ten:)

nijuu: So what do you reckon were the top 10 slowest movers?
Jack Keane 2
Eador
I guess you could say that the sales have become . . . starved.

mudd1: 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?

Buenro-games: If you enjoy the hiding and creeping part of games, then you definitely will like it. When Thief came out, the setting was exactly like all other major fantasy games with that BIG BIG exception, the focus was on the rogue abilities of a thief character. Really groundbreaking at the time and much loved.
I just replayed it. If you're going to play older games be accepting of the visual fidelity, that being said the atmosphere of Thief and the core mechanics are still very sound and make for a great gaming experience still.

Take a wild guess what #1 is

2. Book of Unwritten Tales
3. Thunderscape
4. Eador
5. Divinity Dragon Commander
6. Cognition
7. Rise of the Triad
8. Retro City Rampage
9. Omerta
10. Hotline Miami

Yeah, well, I think getting stealth games right is really difficult. But given how many people like this game, I'll definitely snatch a copy if I see one in this sale. I mean if those aren't price tags to try things out then I don't know what :)

foxworks: I missed it, what were you looking for?

Revenile: I had just asked if anyone could keep an eye out for ultima 7, privateer or thief gold and possibly get it for me since I have to go away for about 2-ish hours, just in case one of them pops up before I can get back.
I can do that. Looking for two of those myself. PM later when you get back.
