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

tw: They should enable captcha for free games. Damn script ninjas.

tascodlx: Ha! I have a better chance against the script ninjas than against the captcha ninjas. I fail HARD at captcha.
Same. I can't make out the hieroglyphics they post.

EX-Deimon: The games remaining list is actually starting to look pretty decent. If you took off Lucius, Cognition (which actually looks good) and Omerta, then the sale might actually go at a better pace. Then again, it all depends on the amount of copies allocated.
Res is actually moving at a decent pace.

mm3n: Eh, if you tell me (us?) what is that :|

Gunsik: something like nickname for example Genghis Khan, Mahatma Gandhi. alexander great and so on
Lord Tolmar Stele of Polstead
Prior to Resonance, the quantity available was downright sane. Also, I did my part and took Resonance down by one.

Johnmourby: Nexus seems to have been one of the most popular games on the sale. How come?

itchy01ca01: It's an awesome game? Seriously. It's one of those unknown gems that didn't get enough publicity. I've had it for a few years now and always had fun. Awesome mods out there as well.
Maybe. but many of the games for sale here are awesome. Nexus however had nearly the same level of anticipation as NN2.

SpiderFighter: LOL! Nah, only about a third. :) I'm the same way as you...even if I like a certain genre, I may not like every game within that genre. Some of those games on my Mix I grabbed during a really cheap sale if I happen to have the money and am not sure enough about a game to buy it at full price (which is what I did with Startopia, Wargame: European Escalation, and WC:Privateer during this sale).
Of all the games i bought during this sale, i may honestly say 2 or 3 i bought solely basing my judgement on forum praise. The fact they are cheap doesn't hurt, either, since if they suck it's not like i've wasted loads of money.

Indeed. The game also looks great, which is why I bought it during the second round. Just hoping for my games to appear before Omerta and Lucius.
Nexus flew. Silly GOG can't seem to get the demand vs supply issue right.

I didn't want to buy one either, but I think I'm going to enjoy it.

smoother: Maybe we can open a trade thread when Insane Insomnia Promo is over.

Velgor: Great idea. I've got at least one to trade for sure, and have been gifting all my purchases since Friday to myself, just in case I want to trade them instead. Or give away to some lucky forum user.
okay, I keep it in mind. If nobody else does it I will open trade thread.

Suloyapla: Come stay with us for a while...
One of Us!

FreDDaN: I have been here since friday.
Yes, but I meant longer, as I have been around since thursday evening, I guess.
InZombia... urrrrrgh.

Which one did you get based on the forum?
