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

Well, that was FAST. Servers got crashed, and so we have Primordia for 2.49$, with 412/600 copies still available.

EDIT: Interestingly only forums server crashed this time it seems. Pretty cool.

Faenwulf: For the next sale, GoG needs to upgrade its servers. :D
No kidding! The forum was down for me during the entire (brief) sale of IWD.

UncleOvid: Whatever. Screw those guys. Haters gonna hate.

johnnygoging: alot of those guys were positive towards it. some of it wasn't

sounds like a bunch of elitists if you ask me. basically saying the same things that's trendy to say. it seems it's a bit trendy to hate on this game. this game is a BioWare game and it's a good game. sure it's a little linear but that doesn't matter. there have been games selling in this sale which are nowhere near the level of jade empire not at all.
I tend to agree. They do seem pessimistic and elitist.

I'm going to find out myself. ;)
And just like that, Icewind Dale was gone...

That was really fast.
That was pretty funny. For seven minutes, Icewind Dale brought GOG to its knees

What the hell happened? I washed like 4 dished and 2 glasses and IWD passed? Was it a freebie?
Jesus Christ! IWD crashed the forums! Lol!
I got Primordia last time it was up, and I've been enjoying the heck out of the soundtrack!
A new sales idea for GOG, to pair the best and worst games in a bundle.

You want Baldur's Gate II, then you also get Jack Keane 2.
You like Icewind Dale Complete, have a side of Omerta and all its DLCs.
You can't wait for The Witcher 2, try it with a little Hotline Miami.

The possibilities are endless!
Well, time to go on beggar mode.

Anyone would give away Megabyte Punch for +rep or Two Worlds II? 6_9
If you like sci-fi and/or post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventures, I can vouch for Primordia. I haven't finished it yet, but I've made it farther than any game in the genre that I've played this decade lol.

In some ways it's reminiscent of Beneath a Steel Sky. Also, the soundtrack is amazing.

Some people had trouble with some of the puzzles (which are mostly of the inventory variety), but I didn't really need to look any of them up, and I don't consider myself an expert in point-and-click puzzle solving.

It is awesome!
I'm just gonna play Baldur's Gate 2 and not worry about the first one.

And if i like BA 2, then i'll get Planescape :D

Though i'll have to wait for the winter sale.
Finally bought Icewind Dale. After barely getting any sleep, dodgy sleeping patterns to make sure a game i want didn't pass I finally have it. That's 1 of 5! 4 more to go!
