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

Suloyapla: Ditto! (No I haven't been playing Pokemon X during this sale, why do you ask?)
avatar
Faenwulf: Damn, I could have done that, too!
Altough I'm already through with everything story related. Still need to catch some legendarys, Mega stones and such, tough.
We're in the same boat here. I kind of don't have the energy to go hunting after beating the champion this time around... probably because there are too many awesome games. Just got Bravely Default...

johnnygoging: oh really? because right they're asking 4.73 for them on the bundle.
avatar
groze: Really. Especially since I'm guessing THE BUNDLE comes with Steam codes for the games and Arkham games on Steam are among the most DRM-ey titles out there, from what I've been told.

And when all's said and done, $10 for System Shock is still a better deal, those games don't hold a candle to any of the classics in here.
The only reason they have had issues regarding DRM (not including the fact that Steam in itself is a form of DRM) was because of Windows Live. Since WIndows Live is shutting down next year they no longer have anything to do with that franchise, it's only Steam now.
Which, in my opinion, is a good thing. I like Steam.

SpiderFighter: Oh, I "get" the game; I just don't like it.
I have no problem with the ethereal, I enjoy hidden references and pop culture in games, I like a good puzzle game, and I love hardcore gameplay. I was just left completely cold and bored by HM. I'm not trolling, and I do recognize that I'm one of the very few people who don't like it, so I'm certainly not saying that others shouldn't buy it (just to be clear). I'm just saying that it's not for everyone.

My tastes are pretty varied, so I'm just as confused by it as you are. I really want to like it. Here's my GOG collection, if you're interested (or anyone else). http://www.gog.com/mix/spiderfighters_collection_with_reviews_updating
Well, if you don't like it you don't like it. Everybody keeps telling me ICO is great and i think it's boring as hell.
Just a matter of personal taste, i guess. But that doesn't mean the game is bad. It's just not your cup of tea, probably.

kcrabb: Has jade empire popped up yet? I saw it in the first round and had no clue what it was so i passed on it. Now that i know i made a mistake, ive been none stop watching this site, but i had to sleep sometime lol
avatar
DrRoxo: Nope, still waiting for that one.
Thanks! I've been waiting through so many poorly sold games just hoping it would say jade empire.
avatar
implord66: Or near the end of that period when the cd version had some of the first FMV's?
avatar
CorranHorn: Those where the days, remember reading about 7TH Guest and how it needed a CD-ROM drive to even be able to play it=).
I sure do! I didn't have a computer with a CD-ROm drive till like 2000. My folks were slow technology adapters.
Just grabbed a copy of Privateer. Chalk up yet another impulse buy. I am really going to hate my CC bill next month. BUT, I AM getting some GOG goodness. :)

And with all the time I've spent lurking, posting, refreshing pages, etc. here, I'll have plenty of time to play the games since my wife will probably leave me and all my clients bail 'cuz I haven't done any work for days...

A GOG-ers Insomnia life for me!

Yeah, i just got System Shock 2, WC Privateer, WC4, Aquanox 1+2,...
Oh, you know the drill... :D

Got no other games for my 3ds except Pokemon X since I only bought it a week or so ago.
Oh wow, did Privateer just make a jump?
avatar
BHTrellis: Speculation on what games are coming in order after this one? I still want to try and get Neverwinter Nights Diamond since I missed NWN 2.
I'd say it's Lucius, 666 copies. It's next on the list. Maybe we're in luck and we're in for a jump.
Man sometimes the sales goes so fast, then it goes so slooooooooooooooooooow.

mudd1: Oh wow, did Privateer just make a jump?
Do they have warp drives, because I think...

Beelzebubb:
Or to giveaway

It bugs the hell out of me, frankly. That's why I keep installing it. :P
Sorry, what's ICO?
Right now I am hoping this is one of those times where the sale does NOT follow the grouping formula from first round. If it does.....Lucius is next.
