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

Cardian: If they decide to run another insomnia sale down the road, they should incorporate The Keaning into the promo video.

Minmataro: Wanna know whats really sick?

I own all three thief games on Steam and I still have the original Alpha Centauri cd with box...

Those are the four games im waiting for. The other games i really wanted i bought on the first day of the sale and since then ive picked up a few impulse buys i didnt need.

THis is like my own self imposed prison, for no reason...
Dude, you're still up? Didn't you say hours ago that you are going to bed?
Only 50 left. I might start reading war and peace. I hope the rest is gone by then.

zlep: Your smilies. They look upside down to me.

Must be because I'm in the southern hemisphere and you're in the northern. ;-)

FrodoBaggins: Ahh, I see. The wee smileys. ( :

I wondered how Alien8n guesses I was a lefty. ( :

*waves to him with her left hand, from the northern hemisphere* lol
And at a guess Scottish :p
I remember the 90's when you had the boxes for your games on the shelves up above your PC. You looked at them visually (or opened the cabinets to view them, chose your game, opened the box, put in the CD...

All that pain in the ass stuff. So we always tried to get our 'no CD' codes so we wouldn't have to do that. Though when the codes did work, we ( I ) didn't really want to play the game(s) as much because now it was just so easy - no extra work.

The extra work of unboxing it made it 'special' in some way.

Anyone else had those thoughts too? Or is it just me?
hello, any chance to know what was on sale since hotline miami?

I think someone from the developing studio made a humored comment early on in the sales about Jack. Something along the lines of "We thought you'd appreciate some time for sleep." : D I hope they can take this "feedback" well, since it is not really about the game but how it seems ill-fitting for this sale.

No. I have always hated disc changing. No CD codes were amazing! So glad they have gone to only needing the disc to install and digital download of installation files. Also, it has freed up space on my shelves.
