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

Cardian: Next up: Thief 3 if we stay on the list.
I thought they deviated from the list far ago and it's now basically random.

JohnnyDollar: How much better is this one that the original AOW?
I thought this one added random worlds (making it more like MOM) as well as a campaign. Added some units and small improvements to the game engine. Overall, they all play fairly similarly.

groze: I'm going to have to leave so, if any kind soul could grab me a copy of Omerta if it comes up, I'd be extremely grateful.

*DISCLAIMER: I was trolling. Please, do not get me an Omerta copy should it come up next! Or do, whatever makes the sales move along. I'm just not playing it afterwards.

Not joking on the 'I have to leave' part, though, so, good luck hunting those games, fellow GOGites!
I was ready to ask if you really meant it ;)

arcusc: For all of you people without a photo for the forum, most of the games here come with an "Avatar" folder. ;-)
I know, but don't want to have one right now. ;)
Just saw awesome sale on Buffy and Angel tv serie over at amazon... why me :(

AoW has a decent storyline, and it's a fun HOMM-type game.
AoW II is a bit more polished than the first, has a more involved storyline, but some prefer the first one.
AoW II Shadow Magic isn't as well-developed story-wise, but has "more to it" than AoW II. Those who play multiplayer prefer it for obvious reasons. If you want the most "advanced" game in the series, AoW:SM is it.

Buenro-games: Is Thief 3 suppose to be the best of the series or Thief 2? I was really only planning on going 1+2, but if it's the best one I might as well get 3. Supposedly it's coming up next.
People consider 2 to the best. 3 is fun, but hardcore thief fans aren't happy with it since it was made by a different team and changed a few aesthetic elements. But 3 had The Cradle.

I'm thinking that the Thief fans actually prefer the first 2 over the 3rd one.

Sometimes they stay on it. After Resonance they only skipped those titels we already had in round 3 and ended at Age of Wonders.

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!
avatar
mantarrochen: So is AoW 2 required?
No. Shadow Magic was originally planned as an expansion for AoW2, but it was developed into a standalone game. It's effectively the third one in the series, but it never got its own number, hence the upcoming one being "Age of Wonders 3".
