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

ClaudioAGS: Happy Birthday! (Altough it is still nov 16th here) :-)

gscotti: Thanks Claudio :D

BTW, I _never_ celebrate my birthday. Family (including 3 year old kid) + PhD work just keeps me too busy. Only on week-ends can I engage in a bit of keaning, LOL!
I know what you mean... I have a 1 yo and a 3 yo myself... but hey, spare some time and do something "different", you´ll see it´s nice and memorable...
Le sigh~ At this rate this is going to take another 2-3 hours. Which would beat the record of Jack Keane 2, although at least Hotline is selling a lot more copies in the same amount of time.

I wonder what's up... I suspect people are judging it by its screenshots, which would not have sold it to me, either. Haven't played my copy yet, but I only bought it because so many people seemed to like it.

So guys, if you're reading this, don't make the mistake of judging a game ( exclusively ) by its screenshots. I've been positively surprised by games on multiple occasions in the past, even though the screenshots made the games look kind of... "meh".

Hotline Miami is supposedly really fun, so come on, buy a copy. It's cheap. Get a few for your friends, while you're at it. :P
I have terrible "news", everybody: I didn't take into consideration that a lot of people will just simply go to sleep, earlier. That was a mistake: the average didn't keep steady at 6.5/min, at all! It's now at 1.6/min, somewhat stable.

That means, nearly 3 hours of Hotline Miami keaning :(

Minmataro: The keaning comes for us all one day.

You feel that? Everything feels slow doesn't it? As if time has come to a crawl.

You want something but you feel a force stopping you from getting it.

This is the Keaning.
Remember remember the 15th of November
Pile o' Keans to be bought.
I see no reason why GOG's fall sale season
& o' Keane should be forgot...

I apologise for this bastardisation.

golea: Secret of Monkey Island. My father bought our first sound card for it.
Pong

Two moving lines on the screen, and a squared "ball" between them.

So Humblebundle's new way of gifting games, does that link you send to people give them the key or does it give them the DRM free game too?

If I recall, Retro City Rampage managed to stick around for 8 hours last night.
I hope when this sale is over GOG.com releases the statistics of how long each game took to sell all it's copies per round. That we way can see just exactly how much Keaning we got accomplished.

I think this is accurate. If not, my apologies.
Deleted Larry Reloaded and Giana Sisters. I believe I saw them today.
How about The Devil Inside, anyone played this one=)?
I want to go sleep but for sure there will be freebie after that. If that will be freebie Rayman I will be sad because I haven't even try to ninja it. Hmm... with current speed Hotline Keane will take ages to sell all. I'm going sleep.
Let the patience be with you

Are you sure you want to know that?

I think Giana Sisters was only a freebie? 16 copies or smth like that. I might be wrong.

The game I wanted has already gone on this 3rd round... is there any chance it appears as a freeebie?
