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

SpiderFighter: *Sigh*

I've been waiting on the same five games for the last 48 hours. Oh well...back to Anvil of Dawn, I guess.

Cardian: Which would those be?
Aquanox
Brutal Legend
Heroes of Might & Magic 3: Complete Edition
King's Bounty: Crossworlds GOTY
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

I already have HoM&M3 and LoK, but not on GOG, and I'd rather have them here. I'd also like Wargame: European Escalation, but even the $6.99 sale price is a bit steep for me at the moment.
Okay, so my estimate may have been too conservative, was quick though :)

RWarehall: Just 42 games left after this one...
but the last round is that slow :(
avatar
Alien8n: Not too slow, about an hour?
avatar
Cardian: First sales always go faster. It will slow down. But it still shouldn't take too long at only 200 copies. Still, time for another round of Rogue Legacy, I think.
Rogue Legacy is difficult! I think I need to revise my approach, as I am currently only charging in full speed trying to murder everything in sight... Haven't made it past the first level yet!

Johnmourby: How long was Giana Sisters on sale?
avatar
EX-Deimon: 3-5 minutes
Good. I haven't played most of my back log but I know that one deserves to sell.
Risk of rain destroys rogue legacy in every way.
Ok weel, for rayman I need cry.... :(
I was interested in Rogue Legacy but I've been hearing from people that the controls are dodgy on keyboard. I won't be buying a controller for my PC since that will defeat the purpose on playing a game on my PC unless if it was a PS2 controller for PS1/2 emulation. So instead, i'll be getting it for the PS4.

Paper please seems interesting. Maybe i'll go buy it and play it while waiting.

Don't! Take your time, think before you attack. The game is a lot easier (at least personally for me!) with a controller. Makes moving a bit easier. If you don't have one, just take your time until you learn/understand the layout and different enemies. Once you learn them, it's cake.
If my maths are correct, and the sale continues the way it is, this should only take around 15-20 minutes...

I hope to get that in the christmas sale. It looks great.

It's excellent. The concept is deceptively simple, but the game play is deep and addictive. Plus, there's a bleakness about it that still catches me off guard.

I'm not trusting anyone's math....everyone's estimates have been wrong so far lol
