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

Cardian: Once upon a midnight Keaning, while I pondered weak and screening,
Through many a quaint and curious pages of forgotten lore,
Couldn't nod off, quite insanely, suddenly, when there were mainly
Good deals that would seem ungainly, plainly there came up one more.
"'Tis some good old game," I muttered, "that has not been up before -
Only this, and nothing more."

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak November,
And each seperate, waking member flipped through pages more and more.
Eagerly we wished the next deal; - vainly we had skipped the lunch meal
Hunger, thirst, that we could not feel - not feel like we did before.
Like the joy and lust for gaming that we used to feel before -
Feelings gone forevermore.

And the ticking, mocking scoffer of each new uncertain offer
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my hear , I stood repeating
"'Tis some game entreating entrance to this sale of yore -
Some good old game entreating entrance to this sale of yore; -
This it is, and nothing more."

Presently my sould grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Blood," said I, "or Reus, this could really be a chore;
For the fact is you're mundanely, and you're also quite profanely,
And you also seem ungainly, mainly due to your low score.
I don't really want to buy you" - here I looked straight at the store; -
Retro Rampage... nothing more.

Hard, right at the counter, peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was soon broken, for the counter showed a token
Of 600 games and spoken were the whispered words, "No more."
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the words, "No more!"
Merely this and nothing more.

Back into the forum turning, all my soul within me burning,
When I could not see a ticking of the counter in the store.
"Surely," said I, "that's not meaning that we are in for a Keaning.
Let me see then, slightly leaning, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;-
"It just froze and nothing more!"

Reload then I hit and waited, the request be circulated,
Nothing changed, hundreds remaining, wondering what to do more.
For we cannot help agreeing that for every human being
that survived the phase of Keaning in the hours just before,
in the long lasting time of The Keaning in the hours just before
we all thought "Oh, Nevermore!"

Retro City, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
on the good old gaming front page teasing us, being a bore.
And its numbers, they are meaning, that this is a phase of Keaning.
Seems that we were overweening, we are punished with one more.
So that now that this is seeming to be the end of this chore,
Quoth The Keaning, "Nevermore!"

garrus74: 600 copies of Anvil of Dawn?! They've got to be kidding !
Indeed, should've been at least 350-400 i guess but then again, i've been waiting very...impatiently for La-Mulana, Icewind Dale, I have no mouth, Thief II, Expeditions Conquistador to arrive, so i went as less copies of games i don't want as possible haha
Anvil of Dawn looks like "eye of the beholder", only a little better.

I don't have a problem with games of this genre but they generally are for more niche audiences, which saturate rather swiftly.

I would get it, but I am saving for just a few more titles. If I had more $$, i would get this one.

smoother: seriously? are you trolling?
It JUST ended. I woke up to it having 28 copies left.
If there's any kind of pattern left to this, Strike Suit Zero should be up next, in case anyone's waiting around for it.
Anvil of Dawn is actually a quite nice entry in the genre. Definitely worth the $1.50.
