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

Quick question, can I buy gift versions and if I can't trade 'm, 'give' them to myself?

Thx in advance for any replies!

Happy Keaning!

siddham: Geneforge is selling well.
Anyone played it?
avatar
istudedinre: 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.
Thanks....my BG itch can always do with scratching...oh yes :)

Velgor: "Blade Runner" is based on the Phillip K. Dick short story "Do Androids Dream of Android Sheep". In fact many of the big sci-fi movies in the last 30+ years have been based on his work. That includes the Schwartzenegger version of "Total Recall" and more...

jackster79: I have seen that version of Total Recall, and hear it is better than the newer one. Interesting bit that, one short story had a lot of influence. I will have to see if I can pick up a copy at the library (though unless there are reprints I am guessing it will be hard to find being as old is it is).

Edit: Thanks to everyone for clearing this up. Seems like it is a book and not a short story, and that the author has done several books in that vein. Definitely going to need to dedicate some time to his work. Thanks again fellow GOGers!
I think it was a short story first, then Dick expanded it into a novel.

Bonshea: Show her Bastion. Ladies love Bastion.

groze: Chicks usually enjoy the Gabriel Knight series a lot. Seriously. You may as well try it.
Speaking as a girl, the game that got me hooked was Dragon Age: Origins. I've shown it to several of my female friends and I think I got about five of them into gaming that way.

CharlesGrey: 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.
Agreed. My son and I went through it together not long after it was released and had a blast. Was fun showing him how gaming progressed over the years. Of course now he thinks I am ancient sense I could remember every period of gaming shown through Evoland lol

Minmataro: When i met my Wife she was already into the Sims. Seeing all that crazy DLC im glad she only plays WoW now.

( 75 points 1 penny to 1 point ) but I like you already have those shoes why not just recolor them.. but I will relent to not get Neg faction hits hehehe. and then a few days later honny I need another $20 cash card..

Waiting for more than 8 hours...

Daliz: I've waited for NWN Diamond since yesterday morning (it's evening here now) and no luck.. :/
you silly it is almost midnight here in finland

MGShogun: Yeah.... i dig the book. It's pretty awesome stuff.

I just love the atmosphere in movie version. I'm a huge movie buff and I think BR is in top 5 in terms of atmosphere.

I find it hard to believe that BR only has 90 special effect shots. That alone should said something.

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.
There is no way I am going to read the comic book or play the game - Philip K. Dick's novel created a very dark world in my mind, a very powerfully suggestive atmosphere, a slightly steampunkish world that any comic book or videogame can only fall short of. The best thing about Blade Runner was, actually, that it didn't try to faithfully recreate the novel.
avatar
MGShogun: I would like to play the game but I dunno where to find it via legal means. :(

ramiera: Just checked yesterday, for which version should I watch (haven't seen the movie yet) :)
avatar
CorranHorn: Final Cut on BD, I usually look at this side for reviews about movies I´m unsure about,

http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/1040/bladerunner_cce.html (they don´t have a review of Final Cut, the review is for the Complete Collectors Ed. HD DVD)

If you mean which version, I think The Director´s Cut is the one to watch=).
Thank you for the link :)

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
I agree Steam is DRM, but for myself, I like the advantages that Steam gives me (auto updating games, cloud saves, chating with friends in game, and a whole range of other benefits), so I don't mind the DRM aspect.
