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

Hoping for Jade Empire. Only saw it that one time though. Did I miss it running more than once?

Deva: That is part of the problem for some, I think... the bundles really spoil people. The current Humble Bundle gives you a lot of top games for less than $5. (If you only pay the minimum....) Although they're only for Steam.... but still.
avatar
Carl13: So if you pay the $4.73 (as it says on the site), you actually get those 4 games? (LOTR War in the North, Batman Arkham Asylum, F3ar and Fear 2) I can see why people get spoiled!
Nope. You just have to pay 1$ get those. If you pay 4.74 you also get Scribblenauts, Batman: Arkham City GOTY, FEAR, Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection, Guardians of Middle Earth + DLC and extra DLC for LOTR Online, Gotham City Impostors and Arkham Origins.
I can't help noticing that Shadow Man is starting to become somewhat Keanelike in it's behavior.
avatar
SpiderFighter: Wow, Shadow Man has really slowed down.

Oh well. Back to my Deadliest Catch marathon on Netfilx.

Devoidless: Not to spoil anything but:
They get crabs in the next episode.
CURSE YOU!!!!!!!

That was pretty shellfish of you.

worlddan: Since it hasn't been up yet I am going to toss in a good review for Primordia, if you haven't played it. I got it in the second round and I am mostly done with it now. The story isn't as good as The Blackwell series but the game play is good. It is the best game out of Wadjet Eye in regards to gameplay..

So if you like point and click adventure games with some decent puzzles thrown in you cannot go wrong at this price.
I agree, Primordia was a great little pointer and clicker. I enjoyed it a lot.

gscotti: And that's actually true, too - but GOG should have been nimble enough to jump in and do some corrective action when things hit a snag (Keaning) - or, you know, just be smart and anticipate this sort of thing could happen. Just throwing your arms up is really not OK.
avatar
Dreadjaws: LOL. Is "Keaning" a word now? I can see myself using it a lot.

"Drat, my work is keaning until the darn printer is fixed"
"My relationship with Sophia? It's keaning because she claims I spend too much time in internet forums and too little with her"
"Arkham Origins is keaning on my PS3 until they release a freaking patch"
I just submitted "keaning" to the Urban Dictionary. It's under review now - fingers crossed XD

stevenmsanders: Hoping for Jade Empire too. Only saw it that one time though. Did I miss it running more than once?
It's run twice, thought about getting it the second time around and didn't
So Shadow Man was after Don't Starve right? I got kind of caught up in my game of Anvil of Dawn and forgot to look.

RandomJC: No Idea. I've only dipped my toe in Steam, mostly because I like the DRM Free stuff that means I can play games while trapped in a bus station.
avatar
shadowknight2814: Trapped in a bus station..,. Are we talking stuck due to bad weather, or stuck due to zombie apocalypse? If the first, off-line mode will probably take care of you. If the second, you have bigger problems, due to the steam servers being shut down after Valve gets eaten by zombies.
I haven't had a problem with steam off-line since .. 4 or 5 years ago. Steam has been very good to me over the years.

Bonshea: Is 'Kean' now this forums new official term of measurement for a overly long period of time a game has been on sale?

Examples: "I can't believe don't starve was almost a whole Keane." And. " I sure hope Omerta isn't next. That'll surely be at least a Keane and a half."
avatar
stan423321: It's not a time measurement per se, it is GOG-ish wording for state of your brain when it was overflowed with unexpected time interval. So "a Keane and a half" doesn't make more sense than time in light years. You can't buff infinity.
Oh! Well... *The more you know!*

You also get the next row of 8 games and DLC add-ons as well... so 12 in all...

McDon: I'm surprised Retro City Rampage is a slow burner...

Kaitu: Is it any good?
It's meant to be fairly good or so I've heard. It's a wll-known indie game either way.

See, I was thinking a little of column A, a lot of column B, with a dash of column C. (You do not want to know what column C is.)
I almost forgot to ask, were/are the Gothic games part of this sale? One of the first games I bought here was Gothic 3, which is the first, and so far only, Gothic game I've played (unless Risen counts) and I'm wanting to go ahead and try the first two Gothics.

Shellfish? Hardly, I thought it was rather kingly of me to spare you from the cagey episode.
