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

More Colorful Texas Sayings Than You Can Shake a Stick At

Crazy
He's got a big hole in his screen door.
She's two sandwiches short of a picnic.
The porch light's on but no one is home.
I hear you clucking but I can't find your nest.


Hot
Hot as Hades.
Hot as the hinges of hell.
Hot as a depot stove.
Hot as a two-dollar whore on the 4th of July.
Hot as a billy goat in a pepper patch.
Hot as a summer revival.
Hotter than a fur coat in Marfa.
So hot the hens are laying hard-boiled eggs.


Cold
This is hog killing weather.
There's only a strand of barbed wire between here and there and its down (after a blizzard).
Cold as a frosted frog.
Cold as an ex-wife's heart.
Cold as a cast iron commode.
Cold as a banker's heart.
Buy me The Real texas and I will give you any game under 5.99$ later! Thanks!!

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.
I guess that begs the question: what do you look for in RPGs? The list you gave seems to run the gamut of just about every type of RPG there is (group, solo, turn-based, real-time, linear-narrative-driven, open-world, etc.).
avatar
CarrionCrow: Fallout 3 was 105 hours of "Please get your fist out of my sphincter, it really distracts me from the INCREDIBLY FRIGGING IMPORTANT, CRUCIAL AND VITAL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT".
avatar
Ungunbu: fallout 3 is very fun if u get it right
How do I get it right? Do every plot quest? Check. Increase wealth and ability like every other RPG? Check. Fully explore the map? Check. Max out my character level? Check. Be the frigging savior of the irradiated toilet bowel? Check, check and mindnumbing, boring as all hell, idiotically produced, wish all the characters would die in a glowing heap of balefire check.
Misspelled bowl as bowel, but you know what? I'm leaving it because it's more accurate.

Schemilix: Don't you feel a twinge when you play Leisure Suit Larry? Like 'this is a manifestation of a problem in Western society' maybe? Oy vey.
avatar
Draggon: Well, yeah - but how is that any different than putting a bullet in a pixelated head in so many other games?
I don't think video game violence and the systematic exploitation of women are really comparable. Yes it's just a game, but profiting from 50% of society at the expense of the other 50% is more skewed than just general shooty business.

You make a good point I guess but just... hmmm. Sits very wrong with me. And someone I mentioned it to as well. One of whom's a bloke.
