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

zlep: Am I being too churlish if I suggest that "chez" and "fez" don't rhyme at all?

Or have we entered the post-post-modern-internet age where verbal language has been left to the dinosaurs?

Oofles: It seems for many English is secondary,
But they wish to chip and sing like canaries,
So for the most part, rules are not necessary.
Since you obviously don't give a damn about metre anyway, you should have swapped "canaries" for "a canary" ;)

Oofles: Lips cracking, painful splits
Eyes heavy, caked with bits
Fingers typing, a click clack blitz
My flesh cries for rest, for quits
As the mind loses wits

Mentally, I'm carving slits
Bloodletting, it brings no bliss
Only reddens an ornate kriss
Outside is dark, the sweet abyss
Come take me, O night's sweet kiss

Raverok: Are you a member of Solitude Bards College ? :)
Only a side act to entertain
and help keep away a fuzzy pain
yet even as I wax and wane
soon will come the brain drain.

nijuu: Then why is it selling so slooooooooowly? :P

KMetalMind: There´s many reasons. It was on Humble Bundle not long ago, it has been on sale here on GOG at least twice in around 5 months, and there´s plenty of people who won´t buy a game from a guy who said "PC is just for spridesheets".
Ooh - see! Language still matters. Everyone hates Phil Fish just cos he can't spell "spreadsheets".

dedoporno: I sleep for several hours and now everyone has moved from making fun of JK to questionable poetry attempts? This madness has broken us all!
Poems can be a killer,
but believe me, in the mirror
you can see your faults reside
where other souls collide.



Ok that might make 0 sense but it sounds ok, lol.
With all the poetry enthusiasts here now, I'm thinking about reposting The Keaning.... ah, what the heck, here is a link ;)

It's the accent I'm 'fraid to say
That causes words to rhyme that way
For far out here, where rain keeps us at bay
Traitor and trader sound the same

Grammer Nazi!

Yes I know that's spelling not grammer, but I cant believe we've had 24000 posts without it degenerating into a the usual slanging/trolling rubbish.

There was a free Witcher 2, I guess...

jamotide: Haha really? That's is why people don't buy a game even though they want to play it? Wtf is wrong with them

KMetalMind: It depends on your principles. There´s plenty of people who would like to play some DRM games and they won´t because there isn´t a DRM free version, and for example, I´m not going to buy the Xbox One after all the restriction bullshit they started on, even if there´s some games that will be exclusive to that platform.

I personally respect people who don´t buy a game even if they could enjoy it.
Copied from the Fez Reddit AMA header. I think Fish's pretty misunderstood. I know of a couple people who used to get aggravated over very little, and it usually related to past unrelenting teasing. He may act like a child, but it seems the Fish just isn't able to take criticism well, or differentiate the difference between an opinion or mean comments. My opinion:

"that's going to be it for me today! thank you all for totally civilized time! you've all been perfect gentlemen/classy ladies. i have to admit i was pretty nervous about doing this AMA, (and so were many friends and family members), but HEY IT TURNED OUT PRETTY GREAT!

so long, and thanks for all the spreadsheet jokes!

oh yeah, QUICK RECAP!
-FEZ is coming out on steam PC on may 1 -mac and linux versions to eventually follow -we're working with sony on bringing FEZ to PSN and VITA -and we're also working with OUYA on port for that -iOs also highly probable"

Well, it *hadn't* degenerated. But now you've mentioned the N word...

Is the end nigh?
So... FEZ is here to stay, eh? Good. I still have some work to do.
Do you think id be able to get in 1-1.5 hour nap while fez is selling?

But even with your accent here,
The plural does not rhyme, I fear.
A single bird, yet, might suffice
And that is one rather low price
For you to not make a sacrifice.

Or does canaries really rhyme with secondary?? I'm confused...
