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

tobias683: 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?
I don´t trust Ubisoft any more, after the whole Starforce thing they should have learned their lesson but still they didn´t and now they are trying once again to show how much they care for their customers.

"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"

Sry, to answer your question, yes I think I´ve read something about this but not sure.

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.

mantarrochen: 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
There are special campaigns in HOM&M3 that get unlocked once you've finished the main campaign. You start off with one elf town and an elf hero that you've dealt with a bit previously and are surrounded by ridiculous stacks of high tier monsters and enemies that already fully leveled. Most people I know threw their hands up and gave up in response to its difficulty. I remember the map in HOM&M5 that you're talking about, and whilst it was tricky, it was a doddle in comparison to some of the challenges in HOM&M3.

Cardian: 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.

dedoporno: Sure, but if it appears at 5AM I'll most likely be long time sleeping. Can't pull another all-nighter...
They've been dropping slow burners overnight, I'd expect Omerta to show up late tonight and keep running until early tomorrow.

This.

On top of that, a large part of tomorrow is going to be away and unable to see the sale, so will have to hope that it comes tonight, during sometime in the morning when I am here, or tomorrow evening after I can get back. I really thought that with all day today available at least one of the three would have shown up by now.

Faeja_Vu: 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!).

Indeed, I did mean heart, thank you. Fixed it. And thanks for the promo ^_^

moonshineshadow: 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.
I've been told that the Expansions they released for HoMM6 made that game fantastic. I own the game without DLC but other than input my code into Uplay have yet to even try it.

I think you just helped me realize what it would be to have a Keanception. To be stuck in a Keaning forever. Keaned by Keaning... Keanception! :D

Ding! Another € 3.82 down the drain. :-P
I think I now have enough games on GOG that warrant an extra category on the Steam library: "GOGged". =D

waited two days for HOMM5 but missed it twice. Slept for 6 hours and literally just wake up and HOMM5 is on. Yesssssss
