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

Raverok: None. They don't need light ;p

"What do you mean it's dark in here?"
False answer. Everyone knows any gamer left in the dark gets eaten by a Grue. So it has been since ancient times...

gscotti: For those that were present while the Ultima Underground was on sale: how fast/slow was the buy rate? I fell asleep at the very beginning of that sale. Seemed like it was going at a decent clip.

Blazz17: IT WAS S. L. O. W.
OK, thanks.

Tolmar: The monitor provides my illumination needs, although a backlit keyboard would be nice
What's the point of a backlit keyboard?

Raverok: It was like 2 or 3 hours I think. I was there all the time but not counting ;p You missed it ?
avatar
gscotti: Nope, I got it - and then went into necessary coma.
Thanks for the info; I thought it went quickly - it's a great game and at only 1.5 bucks.
Yeah, but there were tons of copies. Still, went surprisingly fast. Now FEZ is giving us an undeserved Keaning...

KMetalMind: My fault! I misspelled it. I apologize :) (English is not my main language).
avatar
zlep: Oh, I know. I was just joking.
And *my* apologies - criticizing typos is the realm of small minds.

avatar
KMetalMind: I agree too. But I understand people getting upset. I personally have gotten 3 Fez copies (1 on Xbox360, 1 on PC, another 1 on PC with Humble Bundle), and I love the game.

zlep: I'm sure I'll never finish Fez. I don't have the brainpower or the patience. But the game is amazing. I'm sorry there won't ever be a Fez 2.

That said, it may be better for Fish himself to be away from the indie gaming scene. He isn't the sort of person who can cope with constant harsh criticism, yet he's alienated so many people that I don't think the criticism will ever stop. He seems to want to provoke people, but can't deal with the results. Most people would soften their opinions (at least in public) to get along better with others.
Don't be so sure. His twitter's back online, and he may have cooled off after the Marcus Beer tirade. There may be no Fez 2, but any chance of Phil Fish reconnecting with Polytron and making games again is as good of as sign to me as ever. That is, if it happens :(

Undeserved indeed. I thought we payed our dues! T_T

I agree. But most of GOG users probably have it so that's why it went that slow.

see the keys easier

see here for an example

Hmm, 24290 posts.

We'll easily make it to 25000. Do you think we have enough Keaning candidates to reach 30000?
Wow...

Nodded off for 3 hours and the thread grows by 10 pages!

Now to read these pages to find out if my fears have been realized and I missed either Assassin's Creed or La Mulana.
I can actually see Fez selling now, so that means east coast America has woken up at last

Edit - nope they went back to sleep after buying 2 copies...

FEZ is keaning?? Not my kind of game, but in the previous rounds it was "flying off the virtual shelves. Seemed like a beloved little game.

Which sort of explains why it's going so slowly now. Whoever wanted to get it, got it.
