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

BastienN: Too bad servers crashed.. : I don't know nothing about the game and wanted you opinion on it :) So, even if it's gone, is it that good?

Faenwulf: Apparently, ses.
Never understood the Baldurs Gate or Icewind Dale fanboyism myself. But both are the classics in RPGs, as you can see by their sell numbers.
For me, Icewind Dale is all about the combat.*

*And the amusing journal entry you get if the Paladin is the first one to speak to the underground cultists.

It's not 'fanboyism' when people just collectively go "Yeah, it a good game that's a classic. I played it as a kid and loved then as much as I love it now."

You really need to understand what the differences between 'fanboyism' and 'nostalgic love' are.

I caught that :D
I'm sitting on the fence with a very sore wallet. Do I get Primordia? I love point and click adventures. <gah!>
I went to sleep during Fez, did I miss anything awesome? I'm still looking for BG1, Theme Hospital, and HoMM3

Sorry, i really loath the BG/IWD Style combat system... :D
If anyone managed to get extra copies of IWD, please PM me. I don't have anything left to trade, but will reimburse you with whatever you paid for it.

howardc007: 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!

UncleOvid: Really? Not a fan of Hotline Miami?
I love Hotline Miami. But alas, I fell asleep at the keyboard right before it came up, and slept my way though its sale :)
How much time does one run last through Baldurs Gate 1 ? (approx.)
What was before IWD? Was it still Omerta? I ended up going to the shop and just getting back in time for IWD =)

Phoenix_1982: Did i miss Jade Empire??
Nope, at least it seems so.
