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

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.

Oofles: 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.

JohnnyDollar: I'm thinking that the Thief fans actually prefer the first 2 over the 3rd one.
Yeah, I kind of had that notion going through my head. Will stick to plan and get 1+2 probably. Thanks/

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

Ah, a rebel. A faceless individual standing out from the crowd by... being indistinguishable from the crowd. Fair enough. :-)

JohnnyDollar: How much better is this one that the original AOW?

Khalaq: 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.
So multiplayer is where is really shines? I take it head to head (1vs3) in single player you think 3 edges 1 it out?

I bought Thief 3 here during the second round sales despite what some people say about it. It's not too expensive and I might as well complete the whole set (still need Thief II only). I've always been interested in the games so now there's no excuse to miss out. Not played any of the games. Will start Thief Gold soon though.

I was more terrified of The Cradle then Return to the Cathedral (Which is like Ravenholm from HL2).
Hello there again. I was looking at the discounts but was not looknig at the forum. Something interesting is going on here ? ;)

What's wrong with Thief 3? I had XBOX version, and it had incredible shadow and lightning effects and attention to detail...

Alright alright, finally found one more suitable and original. Though I love the startopia avatars... wonder what the avatar of Jack Keane would look like.
