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

deekaan: What's the point of a backlit keyboard?

Tolmar: see the keys easier

see here for an example

I think I'd find it distracting to have a second source of light glowing below monitor-level. But they do look ultra-cool.

Alien8n: Close....

"What do you mean it's dark in here?"

zlep: False answer. Everyone knows any gamer left in the dark gets eaten by a Grue. So it has been since ancient times...
You're thinking of an adventurer, not a gamer.
Okay, time for lunch. How many slices of bacon can I get into a single sandwich?

garrus74: Yeah, but there were tons of copies. Still, went surprisingly fast. Now FEZ is giving us an undeserved Keaning...
avatar
gscotti: 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.
True, but 700 copies in the third round is got to hurt even for a decent game - I think we've been staring at the jolly fez-man for a good 2-3 hours now if I'm not mistaken and my concept of time is still not lost.

Enjoy your meal!
Extremely hard to stay awake when you have a nice warm cat cuddling and purring with you...
By the way, who's up for making a fan movie?

Star Jacked: Adventures in the PerKeaning
Just woke up. When I left we were still dealing with Miami Keane. What have we had since then to FEZKEANE?

You can purr? I always end up dribbling instead (but so did my cat)
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.
avatar
Raverok: I agree. But most of GOG users probably have it so that's why it went that slow.
This should give us a rough idea of the size of the dungeon crawler RPG-playing demographic, on GOG. Made more niche by the vintage of the game, no doubt.

Incredibly easy to stay awake when you have 4 kittens using you as a springboard

I will take a role of a rock then :P
What did I miss since Shelter?

jackster79: 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.
avatar
Tolmar: Don't believe you have
Whew! All that seems to have happened is a change-over from Rayman to Fez.

Nodded off for just a bit longer than I wanted. So much for cat-napping. Woke up and thought to myself: "Oh NO! I overslept by 2 1/2 hours".

Should be safe now for the next 5 hours now before I need to leave my post again. Hope they come sometime then and not during the 5 hours after that.

Its a natural talent, but the drool does get a bit much at times.
