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

gscotti: Really? A freebie on GOG (not in a promo)?

mkell_226: It was distributed free for a short time during one of the annual conferences.
Ah yes, this one. I remember this so vividly.

But I already paid for it prior to it. I wasn't upset about it since Fallout 1 is terrific game. I was so happy to see those newbies get to play it for the first time. :D

jackster79: Well, since we have to wait for Larry to take his good ol' time, here is something I thought we could use to pass it while we wait:

What GOG game do you already have from GOG do you wished was included in this sale so that others could enjoy it?

SpiderFighter: Chessmaster 9000
Space Rangers 2
Cryostasis
XIII

:,-(
I hear you on those. I was thinking of listing Space Rangers but thought that would not be fair to others who never had the chance to get them.

I myself wanted Chessmaster 9000 and that was the first one I noticed to ever be removed, and that opened my eyes up big time to never take for granted that something is in the catalogue.

MGShogun: Yup! Over a year ago, GOG was like...... okay..... for those whose don't have Fallout 1, here you go!
I thought only crappy games were freebies. Fallout 1 is a crazy good RPG. One of the best, IMHO.

mm3n: Oh dang, I knew I missed a game while trying to cook some dinner, lol. Well, next time maybe :)
Which game were you waiting on?

Beneath a Steel Sky is terrific game, dude! :P

Faenwulf: Never played any BG or Icewind Dale.
Not really my kind of RPGs.
And yes, I have already been told that I'm a blasphemer and sprayed with Kool-Aid for saying this some pages ago.

CarrionCrow: Don't feel like you're the only one. I don't like Mass Effect, loathed Fallout 3, only found enjoyment in New Vegas by running through it, killing everything I could and never using a shop, got bored to tears by Skyrim, haven't liked a Final Fantasy since 6, got sick of Dragon Age and never finished it, played through System Shock 2 once to completion then decided to never play it again because I didn't think it was that great.
OK, so what games have you enjoyed and thought were great?

mudd1: I don't understand why everyone was panicking about Leisure Suit Larry taking ages. Sells like hot cakes.
They were confusing it with LSL:Reloaded, which is also in the sale and has been a real slow mover, since it is $7, not $2 like this one.

Chaosdrache92: Anyone knows what i missed in the last 3 hours ?
avatar
BlueLemon: Anvil of Dawn $1.49
Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, The $2.99
Ultima 7: The Complete Edition $1.49
Defender's Quest $2.99
Book of Unwritten Tales, The FREE (this has been up in third round as a sale item earlier)
Leisure Suit Larry $2.49

(Freebies don't count, and will be sold again)
Thx, it´s cool thats so slow, you have now more time to get the goodies, but sleep away :D

groupees321: How many chances did Larry get? :D
Are you talking about games? If so they did 6 games of Larry (the originals) and later 2 more games (one made by Bioware if I´m not mistaken). No idea how many chances he got with women if that was your question=).

If you are talking about the sale I would guess about 2000=).

Hey, I have a Steam key for "The Bard's Tale" (the new one) that I *think* is still valid (I already had the game). PM me if you want to give it a try!
Larry is almost out of here

Oh yeah, I loathed all TES games so far. Fallout 3 was good, but NV sucked balls...
Mass Effect rocked. But i needed to push myself through Dragon Age.

To whoever asked it (I forgot):
I never played BG/Icewind Dale because of the combat system. I prefer "One-person" systems or at least group systems with good AI (like Mass Effect) were you don't need to pause every 10 seconds to issue commands. I also don't liek to managed more than one Inventory and Equipment screen.

Wasn't SS2 a freebie yesterday? Or is my lack of sleep speaking...
