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

Russonc: Still waiting on Jade Empires and Expedition Conquistadors....If Jade Empires comes up first, I may just get the other on Humble Weekly.
avatar
zlep: I considered Conquistadors on Humble, but the fact that it doesn't come DRM-free was a deal breaker for me. I care about that sort of thing, and Humble has been letting me down on it lately. :-(
I know what you mean, I do go with Steam as well though...but only when very cheap.. (figure it's a "rental" price that hopefully I never have to return!)

MGShogun: I remember that the controls were bit......... offish but I guess I gotta read the manual.
avatar
Fezred: The controls were thankfully very simple. It's almost all mouse driven, with nothing cluttering the screen. Icons do must the rest. What little you have to remember is provided by GOG in the form of scans of the original manual and quick start guides. You won't need the vast majority of it, really. It is nice to read the back story material they provide though.
Oh sweet, thanks for letting me know. I thought I had to use weird keyboard controls. I was like......... uhhhhh lemme hit every key on the board and see if I can move my toon.

I'm back story addict so I may check it out. :)

KPWNINJA: So what has everyone bought during the sale so far? Here is my list:

Anvil of Dawn
Thunderscape
The Lords of Midnight
Aquanox 2
Neverwinter Nights - Diamond Edition
Nexus - The Jupiter Incident
Masters of Orion 1+2
Startopia
The Chronicles of Riddick - Assault on Dark Athena

No free games yet! My slow internet connection has made sure of that! ;p

Still after Aquanox 1.

jackster79: Thunderscape
The Lords of Midnight
Retro City Rampage
Chains of Satinaav
Jade Empire
Don't Starve

Still attempting to get Assassin's Creed & La Mulana, and possibly Beyond Good and Evil.
DAMMIT did I miss Jade Empire again? I had to go on a run and meet my family for Breakfast this morning. What have we had since Rampage?
Darn, I have to go... if anyone is willing to snag Alpha Centauri for me, I can trade for Ultima 7 or maybe some others.

(will pay too if it's feasable.)

Thx!

cakeface: Amazing! I once made out with a girl (honest) in my local museum. It was prehistoric fun.
Those were the days.

Enjoy it man, museums are amazing, inspirational places.

On a more related note, did you get all you were after this sale?
avatar
MGShogun: I like museums so I think I should be a-okay. :)

I scored BG2, MM6, and SS2 so I'm golden. :DDD

Waiting for Icewind Dale 1 and Jade Empire.

How about yourself?
Bought 4. Won 8.

Did you get NWN2C?
avatar
Schemilix: Yeah, this thread is weirdly entertaining. I should be writing a dissertation on cephalopods not sitting around on a forum, but hey.
avatar
Lemon_Curry: Don't worry, this is all you need to know:
'True Facts About The CuttleFish'
brilliant vid
Come on guys... Its Ultima 7. It shouldnt be stalling like this.
avatar
foxworks: A great GOG member gifted me U7, but my trigger finger bought it seconds before receiving it. Here it is:

1. GY5X-
2. PQGH-
3. 6PXL-
4. KKKC
Thanks! Was so tempted to get it but saving my budget for a couple of others.

Jade Empire is still to come. After Rampage was Anvil of Dawn, then Riddick, then U7.

I think Jade Empire still has its third round to come.

Nope. RCR took about 8 Hours to end....
