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

mkess: You are clearly speaking of the game "Dungeon Siege" Fun, at first, but later on brainless repetive without any sense, story or sidequests.

golea: If I remember correctly, the idea behind DS was somewhat new when the first part was released and I liked it. Today? meh.
Yes, the idea was to improve your stats based on the weapons you used the most, or something like that.

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.
That reminds me, I do have an account for Quake Live, but my backlog is more than stuffed.

fronzelneekburm: This brings tears to my eyes! A Shock 2 virgin being deflowered. This is a beautiful, potentially life-changing event, savor it!

mkell_226: Seriously, I envy anyone who is playing SShock 2 for the first time!
It is the only game I purchased on this sale... (was trying MOO 1+2 but missed it)

Is it really that good? I don´t really remember it from the 90´s...

MrJeeves84: Isn't that Half-Life?
If you like Half-Life check out the free remake Black Mesa, http://www.blackmesasource.com/

XEternalDreamX: d3dx9_30.dll is missing

Stilton: Try this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
Hey Thanks bro, problem solved!

XEternalDreamX: d3dx9_30.dll is missing
avatar
Th3ChosenOne: Ok. Most of the times you only need to download the dll file and put it in youre games directory (where the exe file is(worked for me every time))

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_30

Download the *zip file* and put the dll in it in the directory
Nonono don't download individual missing dll files! That's asking for trouble in the form of old/mixed/incompatible versions and dependancies. If you're missing a dll is for a reason - a bunch of other stuff is missing too.

You need to do as Stilton said and download the directX 9 installer from microsoft.

Shendue: First correct answer gets a Machinarium Steam code:

"You have the manners of a beggar."
I am rubber, you are glue.

Anyway, I already played through Machinarium. Art direction is just awesome, but the game as a whole left a bad aftertaste. Too convoluted and unforgiving for a point and click adventure, and the thing with only being able to click on things that were within reach was just unnerving (that freakin' robot is a really slow walker). Still worth trying if you guys can get a good price for it.

EDIT: not fast enough. That's OK. Enjoy Machinarium, Th3ChosenOne!
Seems Neo doesn't like adventure's, tho. You get the code.

Well, there's always the occasional player that doesn't think it's all that great, but for me, yeah, it's really that good. It's best played in low light with headphones, and you might want to install the "Rebirth" mod for higher-poly models.
