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

Been watching college sports all day here and enjoying all of your commentary. Thought I'd pop in for a few moments and try to help you stay strong through this Hotline Miami streak. It's almost there, almost..

Uzur9: For those that have played Sacred 2 how is it compared to the first ?
It's still the same kind of hack and slash game with several of the same mechanics. There are only a few returning classes, but the graphics are really nice and the world exploration was really fun. It does seem to be a bit clunky in the control department though.
Still some 70 copies left...

The good thing is, we actually get a chance to try out some of these games. I played some more of Evoland and it had me permanently grinning and giggling like a school girl, because of all the jokes and references to classic RPGs and Action-Adventures. I heard it's not a very long game, so for all I know I'm already halfway through it, but it was definitely worth the discounted price.

Anyone who is a long-time fan of the Zelda or Final Fantasy series should consider getting a copy, even at the regular price ( or during the next sale ).

MysterD: Sacred 1: Gold was built for DX9, not DX11.
DX11 doesn't include all of the DX9.0 files you need.

You might need to install DX9.0 onto your rig.

Got any old games on Steam that come equipped w/ doing a DX9.0C install?
It should update just what needs to be updated properly (for DX9.0).
Plenty out there - download and install one of those, if you haven't already.

xenxander: If I try to install direct-x 9, it just says "all coponents are installed and ready for use."

no change happens.
that link wasn't to a DirectX9, it was DX10 I think, 2010 runtime...
Yay, 4 1/2 hours entertaining guests, come back and it is still on Hotline Miami like when I left so I did not miss out on anything.
Ah Spaceballs. "Dear me, what's that coming out of her nose?" Gets me everytime!
Lords. 4 days, 22000 posts... This shit is bananas.

Evil-me is waiting for Omerta to be next in line. I think we might experience something similar.
