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

JohnnyDollar: How about 100 instead, or better yet, save them for last? :P

If GOG does this promo again, they REALLY need to use a timer to go along with it.

cannard: I just hope the two games I'm after show up before those two do. After that, adios suckers! Hahahaha!

I have a feeling I'm going to continue to be here a while. :(
I see how you are.

:D

Infin8ty: I'm probably going to miss some of the games I'm waiting for.... I have church in an hour and I sing today.... Ugh. Everyone is going to hate me for this, but I hope it's 666 copies of Lucius next....

McSpain: You sing in church while we go to hell with 666x Lucius Keane. Sounds fair.
I know, the mind of a sinner with no sleep in the past 24 hours....
Don't want to buy anything. Just hang around for this thread. :)

Because you want to see other people suffer as they get dragged down to hell by Lucius. I like it!

I'm waiting for NWN DE 2 days ;/

mantarrochen: Fact is, IRL also requires anti-social behaviour from you. So at most you can say that anonymity serves to underline what you are already doing out there.
avatar
zlep: I dunno. If people IRL acted as abusively as they do online, I don't think I'd ever leave the house. Face-to-face contact seems to cause most people to moderate their behaviour (including, one assumes, the psychopaths who were apparently "such nice people" to their neighbours). I don't think it's unreasonable that online anonymity may show disturbing tendencies that aren't apparent IRL (until someone goes on a killing spree, say).

But if you're talking about *secret* behavior, like killing animals and watching snuff films, then yes, I agree the anonymity probably only underlines real-life behavior.
No, I am referring to the anti-social behaviour the omnipresent free market system rewards. You are right though, people hide it behind noncommital politeness IRL just as they hide it behind anonymity online.

Pretty much the same. Neverwinter 2 fulfilled all my wishes for this sale.

But the topic is fun, in all it's Keanness.

Yes this thread has awoken the lurking tendencies in me.. mwuahhahaha!

EX-Deimon: Either way, the sale is a huge success, it's still bloody going! It's a nice change as well, makes you appreciate your purchase a bit more since you battled out for it. And by "battled out for it" I mean fighting back the drowsiness and trying to grab a free game.

tobias683: I gave up on getting a freebie before I started. My main annoyance has been waiting around the last two days to BUY The Witcher 2 only to see it flash by my screen as a freebie while I wait, still, to buy it.
I missed it the first two times it was up do to RL stuff.
I agree, it would have been much better if after a freebie came on that same game was up for sale. Especially not the other way around, where Jack Keane 2 founded The Order of The Keaning and was given away as a freebie directly afterwards...

Not sure which one I would dislike more...

It's pretty good. We only have 2 tenors and 1 bass (I'm one of the tenors) so it's a bit weak, but good.
Look some film critics of bad movies while you wait.

I'm laughing a lot.
