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

first and second round of promotions were reasonably fast and okay.

Third round.. I have a feeling they're deliberately stretching it over
two or three days.
On this pace they might give us a 4 round and call it christmas sales

whocares44: 900 copies of a game that pretty much everyone owns
i don't have it. Andi don't know if i will buy it... I might buy it JUST for the next game to come in.
I'm going to play XCOM for a while and check back in every so often. That is, of course, providing that XCOM launches. I've heard that the DLC can bugger the connection to the cloud or some rot.

stevieknix: Hmm, which of the Witchers is on this sale again?
Witcher 2.

Witcher 1 is on sale also as part of the 'Mix Max' promo: http://www.gog.com/promo/pcmac_weekend_promo_151113

I would have never guessed this will be so violent and tiring at the same time...
Gonna' remove myself from temptation or I'm going to give in and get it, instead of Jade Empire.

KMJX: Oh well, guess I'll watch some of my anime backlog

Knofbath: Yeah 3 days worth, and Thursday is the air date for the big shows.
My backlog is actually almost two weeks now, because I was moving...
Another random game question, anyone played Mission Critical?

E' un gran gioco, te lo consiglio vivamente. L'unico possibile difetto è la difficoltà, visto che è discretamente ostico.

ENG: It's a great game, i strongly suggest it. The only possible defect is difficulty, since it's moderately hard.

gscotti: Welp, sometimes it's better not to believe and instead use the sad facts and go downtown to buy groceries or something mundane like that.
avatar
DrRoxo: I can't buy groceries, I'm saving for Jade Empire :/
Ramen dinners are the best, just add some soy sauce and I'm usually good.
Some times I add root vegetables as I boil the water/noodles.

If you are willing to trade, check out the classifieds thread.

CorranHorn: Another random game question, anyone played Mission Critical?
Nope whats it like?
I randomly thought of an idea to improve this type of sale. I know the timer thing is unanimous, but I think GOG won't be able to put as many games on sale as they PROMISE them sales. But if they put the games on sale like this and then have a timer before ANOTHER sale begins, that might work. The sale won't go away until the stock is dry, but if one sale takes way too long, more sales will stack so that you get 2 or 3 sales at once rather than waiting for one to just go away.

nijuu: half hour. 1 hour fine. 5 hours or 7 hours. Good for sleep. At the right time :/

Coelocanth: It worked to my advantage for both Jack Keane and Retro City Rampage, so I didn't mind. But yes, I can certainly see the complaints for the 5 or 7 hour ones when it's right in peoples' 'prime time'. Ah well, I'll have a pizza done and ready to eat when Hotline is finally old. :)
Both of them came when it was my prime time :(
