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: False answer. Everyone knows any gamer left in the dark gets eaten by a Grue. So it has been since ancient times...

tascodlx: You're thinking of an adventurer, not a gamer.
Ah, but in those days, the only gamers *were* adventurers, so it was a mute distinction.

All PC gamer species are descended from Homo Adventurus. There *were* a few souls playing Pong on oscilloscopes. Separated from the rest of the tribe by specialized hardware, they became the progenitors of Homo Consolus, a multi-raced, highly warlike species who never developed the skill to use complex tools such as keyboards. Come to think of it, *they* may be Grue-proof. Okay, maybe you're right <sigh>.

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

gscotti: I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate were both available in discounted bundles multiple times (that's how I got them)) and yet both went at a rate of ~200/300 per minute in the 2nd round, even though 1200 were offered. Actually, I think one of the Baldur's Gate games was offered in 2100 copies in the 3rd round?
That has to do with several factors, not that I'm an expert. For one thing GOG's customer base presumably constantly grows, so new members are signing on every day that haven't bought previous deals. Secondly, not every member is aware of every promo.

I can't believe this last round has lasted over 2 days already. Hope they put some classic fast sellers up next for a change (Planescape plsplspls!).

I'm begging you for mercy, GOG, why won't you release me?

Haha, I love those moments. Our little cat loves to get in every "way too small" box possible, feet sticking out etc.. :P

I've just noticed, this is the most time and attention I've ever spent to save eight dollars on a game.

smoother: same here :P
I kind of have to disagree with this argument. Art is art. Fez isn't a must play, but there is evidently an awful lot of work put into creating the game it is today. The work should be distinguished separately from the creator, unless knowing the developer helps better understand their creation.

Backlash for The Witcher series however seems more understandably from my behalf though, as there is a general belief Andrzej Sapkowski plagiarised the work of Moorcock's character Elric. Not going to go into that though.

Ah, the cute kitten stage...

At that age, you can almost fool yourself into thinking you have a cat for your own amusement.

Then they grow up, and you realise you're just there for the cat's amusement...
