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

Spartan717: Just woke up. Did I miss neverwinter nights 2 or alpha century?
NWN2 was done a few hours ago...

So, Hotline Miami killed the sale again with its 900 copies?
I knew something like this would happen around midnight wenn the Gog Team wanted to go to sleep...

Well, at least I had a chance to try out System Shock 2. That game gives me the creeps, despite its age.
I feel like I'm playing the forerunner of Dead Space. And that game always made me a psychological mess after 2-3 hours, thanks to my 2.1 System and the brutal bass it has. (Isaacs' steps in the empty ship echoed troughout my room. Every...last...one....)

Just make sure to get some of the graphics mods, as shown in the sticky in the SS2 forum. Good game, but the graphics have aged horribly.

Considering that a lot of folks got it during previous rounds, I think you're correct.

On a modding note, there's a mod that removes spiders... If you're afraid of them.

Dead space has nothing on System shock 2. This is some scary shit, especially if played at night, in the dark, by yourself.

CorranHorn: What happens if I press that link, will that get me a key?

DrRoxo: Yep. You have to input your email first though. Humble Bundle made the whole gifting keys thing a bit messy some time ago. It should work though :)

EDIT: unless the key's long gone though :D
It's gone... thanks !

Its about 1 am over here. And I'm alone in this room. With a headset on me.
Gods yes, Dead Space has nothing of System Shock 2. This is some scary shit right from the start.

I'll take a look at the graphics mods. thanks.

I just bought it the last time it was on. This sounds kind of ominous in a good way.

Yep, Deadspace is predictable and has those standard scares everybody knows. but system shock kind of "leaves you alone", that is what makes it so scary for me.

No problem. I only wish I had more to share :)

Thoughts on how pissy GOG staff might get in the face of a mass email bombardment imploring them to please change this godforsaken piece of crap to something people actually want?

Ok so Hotline killed the sale... However there is a bright side.

Now some of you can take a break for an hour or two or fire up one of the games you purchased!

Thats what im doing been playing through Riddick for the last hour.

Just out of curiosity, what's the time where you're at? Somewhere around 7pm?
