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

Stooner: Thanks for the explanation, but I don't think I could come with something good that fast anyway... (and if it was longer, probably would make no difference too.. ;p)
maybe it will come in Your dream. if so let me know (C:

Minmataro: Thief 1-3, theme hospital, alpha centauri, Planescape, NWN diamond, BG1 and Witcher 2 will be the last games...
avatar
Ungunbu: makes sense
Yep keep people waiting around so they could buy more stuff on impulse and buy stuff just so the bar will go quicker.

Each day I am re-amazed how this thread can keep on going at the same pace.

And now I am part of the problem.

Buenro-games: Sounds great, which I knew. Definitely getting for Xmas sale then. I always wanted to play EVE but am too old to deal with that community. Great to discover new games like this.
avatar
itchy01ca01: I've thought about getting Eve but starting out fresh in that community? That can't be easy lol
I found the amount of time needed for Eve to be too great, it's one of those MMOs that you have to be prepared to invest hours in I found. Still better than FF Online though :p

I just wish Netdevil hadn't gone under with Jumpgate Evolution. Jumpgate was fantastic once you got past the griefers, like a multiplayer Elite (and was only $5 a month at the time)

HaydenRead: Bother catch a couple of hours sleep, come back and I have missed Nexus :-(
Same happened yesterday with the other game I wanted, Rogue Legacy :-(
avatar
Khalaq: Missed two in a row due to having to sleep? You, Sir, are exactly the person I've been waiting for. I have your copy right here. (Wish I could have afforded more copies, but...)
Thanks for the offer, got it from TH_BEI already, as you noted in your second post to me.

Buenro-games: While we wait, you can enjoy watching the Playstation 4 Pulsating Blue Light of Death. : D

Man, I'm tired and bored. : /

Come on GOG release Jade and Thief, don't leave it for last you bastards.

FreDDaN: I'm looking at guides for beginners guide on XCOM ENEMY UNKNOWN...
Because that game is kicking my ass. But thats good I love hard games specially rogue likes game.
That game is trial and error, which makes it so cool. And the infuriating frustrating factor can go way, way up high when you nurse a soldier and take care of him like a little baby up to being a super soldier and out he pops from the space vehicle and gets lasered in the face. Sigh. Good times, good times.
avatar
Stoltverd: Do you guys think the sale will end today or that it will go so slow that will end tomorrow?
I'm betting tomorrow
Almost certainly tomorrow. Not too bad for me but sucks for everyone else, I just need to get enough sleep that I'm coherent on the phone at half 9 :p

stan423321: I can help you with the second one. Any ideas for a 18th birthday present for my friend? Unfortunately, he seems to have no working PC or anything like that, and my "standard gift for not-so-cool people for 18th birthday", the cocktail set, seems to not apply here.
Jack Keane 2. No working PC, no problem for Jack Keane.

Sigh, you got me there. Maybe others can make meaningful contributions for this, my creativity level at the moment is lower than a hamster not figuring out what to do atop a running wheel.

Ungunbu: male or female?
Male, should have noted but thought "he" would be more visible than it is.

I hope they release alot of Jade Empires. How many did they in round two? Seems everyone is waiting for it, I expect it will go fast..
X-COM 1994 and XCOM 2012 are really tough games, but every moment is worth it.

A friend of mine is into EVE... he has spreadsheet for when to mine asteroids and stuff. Way too demanding for me.

Well, Stoltverd from Columbia so today might still be possible.
