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

trustymutsi: You know, I really hope after hunting down all these games, I don't end up hating the, when I play them, because they're so old :(
Well, if being old is a deal breaker for you, my guess is that you are in the wrong place, my friend.

that's not too likely in the case of the best ones. but if all you're coming from is a modern big budget style then maybe. but even then, in the case of the really good ones, you'll still probably like them anyway. there's mods too.

mkess: Bought one Zero STrike Suit. I remembered I wanted to try it.
Thats the way to do it!
Ha, went to sleep during Ultima Underworld and woke up just in time to catch Strike Suit Zero.

Sweet. Now I'm finally done with this promo!

More people should! Like 60 or so.

Cardian: This^ People have tried this "maths" thing before and they all failed. I think I'll just cut open a copy of Diablo 3 and read in its entrails. That's the way of The Order.
About 8 minutes left ;)

Wish I could say the same, but I am still waiting for 5 games...

How'd you get that majestic tag line under your nickname? :D

cjc7: Hi Everyone, hope you are all doing well.
Good morning.
The game "Valdis Story: Abyssal City" isn't included? Oh well... I wonder what I'd missed.

Seems like GOG has "lots" to sell every time a product goes on sale. Not that I'm complaining, though. Just saying.
Hey, where's GoGBot with that list of games already done and games left to come?

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.
Look at this! The more productive among us are actually getting games *played* during this sale! The Keaning is clearly a GOG ploy to stealthily help us cut down our backlogs.

Then there's the rest of us - hanging around posting Keane jokes and complaining that the sale needs a timer so we can add more titles to our backlogs quicker. Oh well, it can't work for everybody...
Well, I kinda reached my spending quota but I was wondering. This thing has mixed reviews. It seems nice, but judging by the reviews, it's not as cool as it looks.

It's meant to be a guide, we can't get it exact because it could go faster, or slow down.. which is why I said 'if'..

Counted over how many copies went per minute, did it a few times for an average.. I didn't base it on past sales..

Well, no copy for me, as I'm out of cash for speculating. :-(
