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

mantarrochen: Hey, this is Age Of Wonders 3, right? This is actually a good game, I think Im going to buy it now.

foo_jam2002: No, it's not Age of Wonders 3, it's the add-on of the second game in the series. AoW3 is due out in 2014. Try also the first one, i still play it!
So is AoW 2 required?
There, I've done my part and bought a copy of Shadow Magic. It looks fun!

Oofles:
Lucky, my card had been out of warranty for at least a year. I had to drop cash on something decent for that time. That odd 3DFX period.

Xiko91: The first one. I would like the second one as well but story wise I wanted to begin with the first one.

groze: Baldur's Gate is still up for Last Chance, so stick around in order to get it. Baldur's Gate 2, though, has sold out already. Buy it full price, if you can, later, or wait for the Christmas sale, they'll surely sell the D&D games at a discount, probably bundled together.
bg 1 is so good you can play it till xmas for sure

arcusc: For all of you people without a photo for the forum, most of the games here come with an "Avatar" folder. ;-)
I'm too lazy.

But you know what? What the hell. Stay tuned.

foxworks: Make sure to buy a copy for everyone here ;p
Each of us buys 90 copies now. You go first! :D

Tulivesi: Impulse bought Shadow Magic. Screenshots reminded me of HoMM IV, the first turn-based fantasy I ever played and still remember fondly (heresy, I know). Hope it's good. :-)
You're gonna be happy. :)

Alien8n: Same here, I dropped the Xanth series after it got really cringeworthy. I mean seriously, a book about the colour of a girl's underwear? Like that's not going to shout out "I'm a perv" or anything :/
avatar
SpiderFighter: I take it you haven't read John Norman's "Gor" series then? ;)
Strangely enough, no :p

Currently I'm struggling to get through Brent Weeks' Blinding Knife. Almost as difficult to read as LOTR was at the age of 12 :/

But what if I like being all mysterious and non-picture like?
Debating on getting Age of Wonders now. This, or Jade Empire or Neverwinter Nights? Ugh, the choices...
alright already! Bought one! I came here for Alpha Centauri alone... now look at me... 13 games along! Tsss.... Age of wonders it is...
I did my service and bought a copy of AoW:SM

This one is the best of the series (in my opinion). Plays a lot like MOM (but much more updated). It's like game 2.5 and the others aren't necessary to enjoy this one. (AOW 3 is in the making but likely a year or so off)

I'm resisting an impulse buy.
