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

Craig234: I will repeat, they need to plan better for these 'slow' games. It ruins the fun of the sale for people to have hours of waiting.
As long as they don't fix it now. I plan to get a couple of hours kip before I return to GOG-watch mode, and I'll be really ticked if they've run through the two games I'm waiting for in a rush.

Personally, I think they build in slow times, so people don't collapse.

pacogens: Good morning everyone!

Did I miss Jade Empire?
According to the list posted a few pages back, no. :)

vonFreiwaldau: Hmmm... promos like this one will surely teach me not to work and live in an another city and without stable internet connection through the week and not to spend the weekends in the hometown with my family... oh wait, I need my work and I like my family. Not interested in this promo.

zlep: You mean you're *not* prepared to sacrifice your life and family for a cheap computer game?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE????
Already did that years ago. Since then I've been taking it easy, playing just a little bit when nobody's watching :-)

pacogens: Good morning everyone!

Nope. After Don't Starve the sale nearly stopped. First Shadowman, then a short Aquanxo 2 Freebie and now Retro City Rampage brought it to nearly a complete halt.

saberwolfxm: I think I'm done with this sale. Between Jack Keane and now Retro city and all the other Indie games I'm just puckerd out from having to wait hours on end for one game to clear so I might have a chance at getting one I do want. It was a good promo that broke up the same ol' same ol' but not having a timer on each individual promo kind of ruins it. Hopefully they'll have a regular Christmas sale without all this annoyance. As for this one I'm done GoG.
my eyes are a bit glazed. Didnt know you were a Fallout fan till I noticed the avatar pic +1 to you good sir ^_^
This might be a dozen steps from rational thinking, but sitting here watching that number crawl its ass down to one at a snail's pace pisses me off, which then turns into stubborn resolve to get my shit no matter how long this takes.

Faenwulf: But at least I won my bet that Shadowman (aka Jack Keane 5) will kill the sale completely. How many copies did they sell this time around?
250. But like someone wrote, it didn't kill the sale like Starving Keane did.
And a very Guten Morgen! :)

tenacity, an admirable trait.... I wish you luck ^_^
I went back a few pages in the topic to see what I've missed and even the rate of posting dropped, is Keaning so to speak. If I go back 10 pages I go back 3 hours. 10 pages used to be produced in less than a few minutes in the hectic times. The good news is: many people are finally enjoying a much deserved somnia.

Tenacity or lunacy, one of the two. Thank you.

And a very Guten Morgen ebenfalls!

Wondrous that Shadowman went along. It killed the sale in Round 2 for at least 2, possibly 3 hours.

Well, it surely wan't the fault of the freebie?

The sale will be officialy dead when even a freebie slows to a crawl.

Especially a Freebie of Aquanox 2. the first part is better, but its still a pretty solid (or even good) sequel.

OH NO! The thread is Keaning!! It's Keaning, people! Bail out now; bail out! Before we're trapped in the expanding event horizon of slowed time...
