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

Velgor: Nope...been trying for a very long time. The only thing I've managed to rope her into is Renaissance Faire. And she's gotten me to go to musicals. She's a performer, so most of the shows I see, she's singing in. But...still...

Bonshea: Show her Bastion. Ladies love Bastion.
Chicks usually enjoy the Gabriel Knight series a lot. Seriously. You may as well try it.

DrRoxo: Agreed. The book is great and so is the DC. Speaking of other movies, got any recommendations that are at least a bit reminiscent of Blade runner?

gscotti: The novel ("Do androids dream of electric sheep" - I think was the title) was brilliant, but dark, very dark and creates a complete universe/ambience - it's a relatively short novel, but one feature film could not recreate it completely. Maybe a mini-series. Still, Blade Runner is one of the best sci-fi movies out there, and it stands on its own.
Someone, I can't remember exactly, name might have been Jeter, might have also authored something in the Star Wars novels line, wrote a semi-sequel to both book and movie, trying to integrate the two storylines/characters. It was interesting, and worth the bargain price I paid for it years ago. I wonder if I kept it around?

Shendue: I am an avid Philip K. Dick reader, so i strongly suggest to read the book. And they made a comic book based on it that's very good as well. Damn, even the videogame's great.

MGShogun: I would like to play the game but I dunno where to find it via legal means. :(
Just buy a copy on ebay.

siddham: I was lucky to be at my computer one of the previous times NWN came up and I got it....
But I can tell you the batch on offer was sold-out in a few minutes...!
Indeed. The countdown bar practically never stopped.

siddham: Geneforge is selling well.
Anyone played it?
I play last 3 games in that series and I quite like them a lot. It's quite bargain at this price. :)

The only game my wife seems to like is Chuzzles

It's excellent. If you like BG I & II for reasons other than the D&D content, then the Geneforge series may scratch the same itch. It's a party-based RPG of EPIC size.
OK, just played some more Evoland and it's really fun. I know the offer has expired now, but I think it was absolutely worth the ~3 bucks or so it cost during the promo. For anyone who grew up with classic console Action-Adventures and RPGs, this game is worth playing just for the many references and little easter eggs alone.

Anyone played it?
Everything Spiderweb makes is supposed to be awesome. My buddy swears by them.
Sadly i own this collection but my backlog is so insane i havent gotten around to playing them.

From the screen shots the games look really old but my friend says the games are very good.
I like Blade Runner too, but I'd be grateful if we could stick to talking about this sale.

It's a good saga.

I think it may be for the best that she's not into gaming. It's like there'd be some great disturbance in The Force or something... ;)

Only thing i got to say about Steam, i noticed some Kickstarter devs have started to say "Oh but Steam is the least obtrusive DRM" (some of them really dance around the issue). Come on guys. DRM or DRM free..there is no grey. DRM *is* still drm no matter the way you look at it
