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

dsross: Don't Starve. Go eat something. Use the bathroom. Take a short (or long nap). We'll still be here when you get back. This has been a PSA from GOG team.
I do have to wonder if they have staff members actually monitoring the sales. Im sure they do, Im also sure that this IS planned, in a way. Over the dinner period, let people stew, slow the sale down a bit, and during the night-time/day-time normal hours, it goes much faster. It kinda makes strategic sense, in a way.
Speaking of Let's Plays, I did an LP of my joint favourite game a while back, Final Fantasy Tactics.
It was kind of boring before I dragged in a couple of friends to help with the voice acting around episode 16. Before that it was me voicing everyone from Alma to Gaffgarion by myself.

The only voices actually done by a man are Barich (Balk) and Cloud, because my male housemate just happened to blunder past when I needed him voiced. Many many squeaky Lucavi.

I hate FFVII. Controversial I know.

Not really. This is a worldwide sales even, they have absolutely no reason to plan like that. There will ALWAYS be people awake checking the sales.

But doesn't make so much sense if you take into account that gog users come from all over the world. So when you have dinner time, we have night, others just left their homes to go to work ....

However, it may be more oriented around the GOG staff. They want to go out for dinner? Park a Keane on em. Night time skeleton crew? Omerta!
Yeah, 3 AM in Germany, 4 AM in Greece, you guys sure are up late. :)
Don't Starve...yeah right....the name says it all
3 am here too
my free time this day was thwarted by Mag Kean and Dont Keane

maybe Cognition: An Erica Keane Thriller will lock it next so i can get back from work and still have missed no sales im after

Yeah.Could also be that the sales slow down when the Europeans are zoning out.Keane was also around European bedtime hours.Could also be coincidence.Dunno.
That moment when you realize you just spent the last 30 odd minutes snoozing in your chair waiting for a game to sell...
20:53 here \o/
If I had the money to spare I would be Don't Starve, but I am saving my last $5 for Jade Empire
Sat here trying to convince friends to buy it. I don't want it, how do I convince them they do?!

Ungunbu: 3 am here too
