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

Hmmm...it's almost 2pm and I haven't had lunch yet. That might explain the headache. Oh, and the fact I've been glued to the monitor for the last few days...
Wow, Wing Commander is flying off the shelves! I'm impressed, at this point in the sale.

CorranHorn: I don´t remember this one being on so many CD´s, that´s like 10 or something=).

GhostwriterDoF: we had 40 mb hardrives back then ...
Not when Wing Commander 4 was released, 40 MB HDD´s was during the time of 286 maybe 386. When 486 came the hard drives where around 700-800 MB or maybe my mind is playing tricks on me=).

Haha, I've said my fair share of Keanful things. I even brought up the concept of a Keanception. The things the mind will think up when tired... xD

mm3n: Is there someone who can grab a copy of WC4 for a trade of some kind from here? I have a Torchlight code on GOG and if anyone doesn't have it yet I can give it for the game.

PS: Takers or no takers I'll give TL for free later on, I mentioned about it several (dozens) of pages before, but no one bit on it sadly.

My 486 DX/2 came with a 200mb hard drive...

When I got my first PC, it was a 486 with 81 Mb (WD Caviar). So, 40 MB drives were OK in the beginning of the 486 era.

That's about right. I remember I got my first 1200 MB drive around the time I got a Pentium. Only $1/MB too!

IanM: what fun ways are you finding to pass the time?

I just searched 160 odd pages to find an old post I needed to rep! The thread search function here really blows - it couldn't find the the username or the post using a keyword that was in the post! I'm so glad browsers have keyword search functions that do work
When insanity during The Keaning of RCR took over, I did a little spin on Poe's The Raven. Might continue in that direction when the next Keaning is upon us.

SSSHHHHHHHH!!!!! Don't say it's name! We do not want it to hear us...
Btw, just created a yearly event on my phone's calendar called Keaning Day. The day that Keane keaned and keaned hard, with knowledge that us - poor souls - would get some well needed rest!

Remember remember the 15th of November
Pile o' Keans to be bought.
I see no reason why GOG's fall sale season
& Keane should ever be forgot...
