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

Look, I know they are free games, but man - I clicked it as soon as Master of Orion came up and was sent to an error page and then it times out how fast are some of you guys?

EDIT: seriously though, this is a crazy awesome idea for a sale - even if getting the free games is next to impossible :)

Well, it will probably pop back up on a 75% off sale, like the other freebies.

MaGo72: Damn, Master of Orion 1+2 and I got the blue globe...
Same here, thought I'd snagged it and say the bear, than an Internal Server error, then Sorry too late :/
I keep getting the f*cking server error on free games too. Then I get a page 500 error then I get expired. GOG is being very cruel with the free games.

Finalzero: OMG I tried to get Master of Orion too but in a split of second it was already "sold" out and I got an error message.

GOG trolling at its best.
GOGs secret name= got (good old trolling of course).

Got 404 bear on that freebie
No guys seriously. It's impossible for a human to click SO FAST :D
Damn, getting a free game is freaking impossible. I clicked as soon as message popped up and I got the bear screen :-(

ultima069: Fuck it, I give up trying to get a free game.
Just pick up a bargain title and enjoy that.

jhari: Total, total fail.

You might want to upgrade your servers with the profits from the free games, so that the lame ass things won't time out.

*sigh*

And I thought GoG was the greatest thing ever. Oh well, I can get the games for free as well.
Forget the games. Have fun reading this thread.

Btw, got a "500 Internal Server Error" on the last free game.

Eritherian: 75 th game is comming
I think free games should not be counted, as they are re-appear as regular promo...
La-Mulana, buy it people, this one is worth it big time!
So, the general principle is that the servers crash right after each free game ?
Why no Fallout???????!!?!?!?!
Wow, Beyond good and evil went fast.
