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

Knofbath: Yeah 3 days worth, and Thursday is the air date for the big shows.

KMJX: My backlog is actually almost two weeks now, because I was moving...
That's when "entertainment" becomes a chore.

Infin8ty: 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.
And then we can have Keane, RCR, and Omerta all on the front page at the same time!

gbaz69: 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.
Noted! :D
As for the trading, thanks, but I'll wait it out ;) Keane bless my weak soul!

Yes, but you'll still get sales you want in a reasonable amount of time. You don't have to limit it to 3.

Is Nexus any good? I like space sims, but i'm not much into RTS games. Not that i dislike strategy games at all, but i prefer turn-based ones since i'd rather think about my moves then button mash like an obsessed freak while trying to quickly switch between my base and my troops, which is totally unfun to me.

Yeah - and say a game doesn't sell-out after its allotted time, they should later bring it back later w/ the remaining # of sales left to go from last time.

The waiting... You don't want to miss anything and thats why you have to ward off any sign of tiredness.

Ah, the Holy trifecta of paint drying countdowns

Still, imagine the forum silliness that would result

CorranHorn: Another random game question, anyone played Mission Critical?
avatar
Soccorro: Nope whats it like?
Trying to come up with a similar game but it´s not easy, you play it like Myst but it takes place on a ship that is having critical failure, your first job is to fix a leakage, The game has the actor from Star Trek, mr Worf.

It´s really good but very hard to get, came on 4 CD´s and I almost finished it but then I forgot about it and now I don´t have any saves for it=).

Here´s a Youtube link from the beginning of the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvm5EPUH_I8
