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

Faenwulf: Inquisition? Looks like an Indie-Diablo.
It's not unlike that. With lots of text in most convos etc. I sinked a couple hours into this and enjoyed it, though I doubt I've seen most of the game yet.

Schemilix: Too much info here but meat-eater shit smells worse than veggie shit to me, and vice versa. I'm gonna come out and say beans don't make you all that gassy, surprisingly.
Research says the opposite. But on the bright side, people who eat them a lot, don't notice it anymore.

Beelzebubb: You have a strange hobby, son.
Sadly no, just four housemates and one toilet. :I

MysterD: I'm only missing NWN2: Mysteries of Westgate.

For those who played it - how's Westgate?

Ninlil: I loved it, even if my first reaction was "I want to kill everyone in this party".
The greatest obstacle to the enjoyment of MoW is you.
If you try to manipulate your party like you would do in a modern RPG, you will not be happy.
This is a game where it's really important that you take the decisions *you* want and not to please your party member.
Thanks for the info! :D

So, how long/short was the MOW campaign?

Khalaq: Not censor, censure. Two totally different things.

You're free to say whatever you like. You should expect people to react to what you say and do, however, just like they do in real-life conversations.
avatar
Schemilix: Well said. Some people who talk about freedom of speech fail to understand that it means people are equally free to call you a cock.
The other thing people don't realize, at least as far as the US Bill of Rights goes, is that Amendment I starts off with "Congress shall make no law...". Free speech isn't freedom to say whatever you flippin' want, it's a measure to prevent the GOVERNMENT from telling you what you can or cannot say.

infinitee8: Are they going thru all 100 games on this last chance? I assume yes but too many posts here to go thru. Any idea how soon till over or if Rogue Legacy or Reus will be coming around again for those of you who have been able to keep track? Appreciate any info, thanks.
avatar
gogbot: Rogue Legacy and Reus are both gone from the sale. I'll post an updated list in a second.
Thanks for your updated list. As much fun as it was to sit here and watch the sales go by, I'm glad I can stop doing it now. Those were the 2 remaining games I never caught a glimpse of over the 3 exciting days.
Thanks GOG and grats to all who have new games to play, especially those of you who were able to get the free ones!

is this going to be slow?

Deva: How many people know they have way more games than they could ever play, (let alone finish), and yet, you keep on buying new ones anyway?

Worse, how many buy them and then never get around to even installing a good number of them? I just ask to see if I'm alone on this....
I'm at 281 on GOG, so yes I don't think I'll ever play or finish them all.
I'm a bit of a hoarder and since I saw Chessmaster 9 disappear from the site it got harder to resist buying games on sale that I might like just in case they disappear too.

Carl13: Ohhh dear.

Joking :)

I'm Northern o'course :)

And it's getting pretty bitter in England atm, especially when I live in a basement flat in Leeds and refuse to put the heating on haha :')
avatar
Schemilix: My step-dad's from Leeds, you're pretty cool folk up there, haha.
Small world haha, my Dad's from Leeds, I grew up in a little village near Hull though. :) (Yes, I don't pronounce my 'h's)

Aye Leeds is a pretty nice place to be, people are usually friendly. There's a lot more to it than Hull too! Even if it is full of Wessies ;)

Actually, that's pretty inaccurate. As an IBS sufferer, i must point at the fact that the most-gas free possible diet is just proteins. That's why they reccomend an all-protein diet for no less then 3 days before doing an echography.

Schemilix: It's actually not very Diablo-y. Give it a look see. The soundtrack's great and they put some real care into the story, but it can be very difficult and a bit tedious.

This coming from someone who plays Vagrant Story.
Then I better not take a look. A) I have no money for it and b) I'm still fighting Dark Souls.....
God, the Design flaws in that game...

I woke up late. Thank goodness I didn't miss Planescape.... yes, yes I have it already. But I know some people who don't! Won't they be surprised! Unless I miss it that is. Then they won't be surprised at all.

THE LIST
I see what you did there! Good thinking, good sir!
