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

I am telling ya, Neverwinter Nights and Jade Empire will have something ridiculous like 75 copies or some mess like that... Haven't really gotten anything but Geneforge. I am glad I picked it up when I did. Still sore that I missed out on Thunderscape. If I would have only known ahead of time...

Buenro-games: Well everyone, enjoy your next three hours because I predict that is how long this one is going to take, at least. Off to do stuff.
40 minutes tops (he says wishfully)
Anyone know what I've missed since FEZ?
Well fellow GOGers. I must bow out for about 5-7 hours or so but will be back afterwards.

I hope after AOW all of you get the game(s) you have been waiting for relatively quickly.

Catch everyone when I return.
Ok, it sold 1/3 of the 900 already, but now is getting slower

EX-Deimon: I really recommend reading the GoT books (A Song for Ice and Fire). There are currently 5 out at the moment and the author is currently writing the next 2 books. If you enjoy GoT, don't waste time and buy the books, they are great That way, you will avoid spoilers online.

The books are very well written, each chapter is from a characters' point of view which makes a nice change. Love it.
I agree, really great books, only fear I sometimes have is that the author will die before finishing since it always takes him a very long time to write the next book...

Tolmar: I think this guy may be a little too upset with his ex

RWarehall: Man, that is overkill. I could think of a lot of better things to spend $7000 on. Like buying the rest of the copies of Resonance so we can see the next sale...
“I’m so over her,” Markovitz told Deadline.

Yep, sure, his feelings about her aren't affecting his behaviour at all. o_O

ROFL!!!
I loved the Age Of Wonder series. Very HOMM like, with its own sense of style, some Masters of Magic thrown in for good measure.

Highly recommended.

But seriously, 900 copies! Ridiculous.

They can not put only 75 copies of these games, they are business, they can sell 2000 copies and they will.

I don't see 3 hours. If it's 3 hours then you'll kiss his ass. I mean...

deekaan: So in around 20 or so years he'll be done, .. probably.
I really wish you were wrong, but considering the first book came out in 1995, you may be far too close to reality that we'd like. Also a point to consider is that, I believe, book 3 was split into two due to the involved plot and George R R Martin's idea to focus on one side of the world and then the other. He said the work was done and the next book should quickly follow. It took 5 years for the next book to follow. FIVE YEARS. And it was "done." So, now, allegedly, book 6 is finished and the final, book 7 being written. Well, let's just say I am NOT holding my breath on seeing either any time soon.

What saddens me too, is the fact that Mr. Martin is getting up there in years and I genuinely fear he may not live long enough to see his magnum opus finished.

Tolmar: see the keys easier

see here for an example

zlep: I think I'd find it distracting to have a second source of light glowing below monitor-level. But they do look ultra-cool.
They are mostly marketed to people that play multiple keys and macros stuff like MMORPGs and RTSs, so they actually need to see the keystrokes. I know many gamers that like to play in the dark and find those useful.
