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

Shendue: Hotline Miami can't be more far to a piece of crap. It's a brilliant game. It isn't selling just because everybody and their mothers already got it.

CarrionCrow: Mentioned this before. A game that can be fine at the first minute will end up getting perceived as a piece of crap after an hour....or two....or five. It could be the greatest game created, but I still want the damn thing out of the way.
You are clearly speaking of the game "Dungeon Siege" Fun, at first, but later on brainless repetive without any sense, story or sidequests.

Faenwulf: What scares me is the talking "Zombies".
They talk to me and BEG me to KILL them.

WHAT-THE-FUCK.

*mods SS2 for more scaryness*

fronzelneekburm: This brings tears to my eyes! A Shock 2 virgin being deflowered. This is a beautiful, potentially life-changing event, savor it!
Seriously, I envy anyone who is playing SShock 2 for the first time!

fuzzknuckle: Love the Kerok avatar!

ubermunch: Thx... I'm surprised that "The Legend of Kerok" (with full DLC) hasn't been kickstarted... yet...
Count me in.

CorranHorn: It´s never to late to learn, download Unreal Tournament 2004 or try Quake Live. Everyone are beginners, even the pros have been at some time.

mkell_226: My biggest problem is that I don't really have time. =/

I do have UT 2004, though; does it have decent bots?
Yes, I think so. They go from very easy to impossible.

Have a spare WC4 code if anyone is interested in a trade. Fire me a PM. :-)

Faenwulf: 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....)
Bioschock ambience freaked me out.

Oh man, I had the same experience. I just gave up after my N-th battle with those never-ending tides of croaking fish crawling out of the water.

If I remember correctly, the idea behind DS was somewhat new when the first part was released and I liked it. Today? meh.

[edit] Ah crap, I read "text not voice"! Yeah, second vote for Half-Life.

Hey, I just bought it (H.Miami) and Im playing it now, and its a very good game!

The thing is, before this Insomnia thing I wouldnt have payed 10$ for it, not to mention I didnt even know of this game´s existence in fact, until now.

Not only I feel better for making the counter move, I just bought a good game for 2 dollars. And that feeling is the "nicotine" behind all this promo, I feel like a hamster pulling a lever to get food, there is something good and horrible at the same time in this Insomnia promotion making me buy things I didnt need nor even know of its existence before, the marketing guy/gal who thought of this promotion is quite a genius (an evil one).
