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

JoseWisemang: I'm thinking about putting a dollar down on the weekly bundle just for Jag alliance 2...

BTW did fallout ever go on sale during the insomnia?
Nope, Fallout series isn't in this sale at all.

Don't worry, the meltdown has been entertaining to observe :3

Buenro-games: I don't get this Dark Eye game, how the heck does a D&D game gets turned into a point-n-click adventure game. No wonder I never heard of it.
The world of The Dark Eye is fleshed out enough to give room for many kinds of games.
There is even some kind of strategy game in the making.

But true, the heart of Dark Eye is RPG, and maybe that's why some people have problems with this game.

Fictionvision: GOG should have this sale again all new year's day

Because who would want to go out and get piss drunk when you can sit at home staring at your computer monitor yelling at Retro City Rampage to sell?

Only to have your hopes and dreams crushed as 500 copies of Omerta show up next.
That is just evil...

Smart man. :)
So... wait a second. I missed Sacred? How many copies?

Just for the record, I wasn't really going to buy one -- I'm just trying to grasp how it's possible that I stare at this thing for hours and nothing happens, then I look away for a while and suddenly game sales completely pass me by... ?! :|

About 200 copies, I think.
That makes me sadpants :(

Dreadjaws: That's fine and dandy, but this is a point & click adventure game. It doesn't play like D&D. I'm more interested to know what the actual game is like. It looks gorgeous, I give you that, but there are several complaints about the characters and story, which are usually very important in adventure games.

istudedinre: Eh... no, this game is Dark Eye the way all those Drizzt and Neverwinter novels are D&D. Dark Eye is a whole world, just like Dungeons and Dragons. This game is a p&c set in the Dark Eye universe. If you want to play hardcore Dark Eye, go play Realms of Arkania.
I... I'm sorry, am I speaking in a different language? I don't mean to be rude, but I don't give a tiny rat's keane about novels or pen and paper games. Not for this, anyway. All I want to know is... is this particular game any good?

DrRoxo: Uprated for making me aware of amazaballs Cthulhu themed song!
If you like H.P. Lovecraft then Alone In The Dark could be a good game to read about=).
