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

gscotti: BG is going to be a barn-burner, mark my words. Don't blink!

dedoporno: I am aware of that, and I'll try to take more than one copies. Let's hope the amount will be a good number - if it's less than Don't Starve or some other slogs I'll be very disappointed.
We thought that some other games would be gone in seconds, but they weren't in the final round. I think it's because many people already have their copies and the good games get units in the 1000s, so everyone who is here when the sale starts, should easily get his copy.

ForgetDeny: I've been a fan of the HOM&M series since HOM&M2. My favourite is of course HOM&M3, but HOM&M5 actually gives it a fairly decent run for its money. It seems like the developers had learnt from the errors of HOM&M4 and gave us a repeat of HOM&M3 but with updated graphics and mildly tweaked gameplay - also I'm quite a fan of the variant armies that are introduced by HOM&M5's DLC. The only potential downside is that it is easier than HOM&M3, but hell some of the maps in that game were obtusely difficult - especially towards the end of the campaign. Don't worry guys, I still loved it.
I remember a mission during the second campaign (as the demonlord) where you had to invade and fight elven heroes. I seriously doubt anything in HoMM 3 could be any more difficult than that single mission alone. ;-P

I keep internally voicing the letters HOM&M as homonym. That's my sharing for the day done.

I heard a rumor not to long ago that Ubisoft was removing the DRM from HoMM 6. Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

Not only that, but if Lucius with like 666 copies just because GoG staff are probably like that to us, and like 700 copies of Omerta, you can bet this sale will go on till late sunday or early monday

Hmm... that would be interesting news... I would consider buying it for a cheap price if they did that, despite the horrible things I read about it.

There is an AI mod for Heroes V.
I have not played it myself...but i hear it doesnt cheat and gives a tougher game.

Faeja_Vu: I forgot to go read that in it's entirety! D: Do you remember about what page that was on?

Cardian: Incidentally, I do know that ;) It's on 930.
Awesome, thanks. ^^

It's a rather enjoyable read, totally worth the upvote. <3
By the way, I believe you meant to have "heart" and not "hear" in the third paragraph? Thought you might wanna fix that. :)

Here is a direct link to it if anyone else wants to read it (and you totally should!).

Sure, but if it appears at 5AM I'll most likely be long time sleeping. Can't pull another all-nighter...
