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

CalicoPup: Hey, where's GoGBot with that list of games already done and games left to come?
avatar
BlueLemon: I can post my list if you want? I've been adding to an old one that was started at the beginning of round 3..


Freebies don't count as a sale, don't have the list of games left, sorry.. :)
I appreciate the effort!

+1 for you, Good Sir!
I like the pace of Strike Suit Zero. That was the right amount of copies and a good minimum sell pace.
Anything with more copies* and/or a slower sell rate should be banished from this plane of existance.


*except for those games that sell out really fast

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.

BlueLemon: 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..
Yes, we know Captain Buzzkill...

FoxySage: You know with my luck, the Thief games will first appear after Cognition.and Omerta.
In other words, Tuesday? :D
Strike Suit Zero goes on sale pretty often, no? Outside of the Insomnia sale?
Come on SSZ!
Let's go SSZ!

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.

zlep: 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...
Lol! Now I feel guilty. :)
I realized I couldn't play and keep an eye on the thread, so I'm working on sorting my latest games into the catalog. I have somewhere around 260 now, and I've been lazy about alphabetizing the last few. http://www.gog.com/mix/spiderfighters_collection_with_reviews_updating
Days of refreshing for a few games. Whats the bet it willbe the last one?!
Dear lord...I do love this sale. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Considering there are still 2 or 3 Keane titles left, I'm sure it will run until Monday GMT+1.

That abbreviation makes me think of Dragonball. :-)
I'll probably have to start smoking meth after the sale is done. Where else am I going to find sufficient substitute for this thrill? :/

Lol, it is not unlikely :D
