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

UncleOvid: So, has anyone bought anything else on the site this weekend? I ask because I'm pretty much giving up on the sale at this point.

But Redshirt's been staring at me for the last four days, and I keep being tempted. Not for $20, mind, but I'm curious.

I actually did cave and quietly bought Wasteland yesterday, purely because I kept seeing it while I was Keaneing.
I have not played Redshirts yet, but it seem not worth $20 to me based on screenshots.

Travanoid: I went to sleep during Fez, did I miss anything awesome? I'm still looking for BG1, Theme Hospital, and HoMM3

Faenwulf: BG1 has already come and gone. The rest is still up for grabs, tough.
Dangit. What about Jade Empire, is that still upcoming, or did I miss that as well?

Bought Divine Divinity while waiting on other items. 1.49, unbeatable price.

Crappynuker1: How much time does one run last through Baldurs Gate 1 ? (approx.)
it's been a while, so I can't quite remember. 20 hours? It also depends on if you do Tales of the Sword Coast (the expansion).
Even this deep into the never ending sale... Icewind Dale comes up at 900 copies and is sold out in minutes just like pretty much all of the other AD&D titles. That's a no brainer in our crowd here I guess, but it seems they can keep putting it on sale like this and it'll keep selling like hotcakes! Notice how most of the other games, even other games that are fairly popular have slowed to a crawl the third time through the loop?

Idea: Include free copies of random AD&D games along with all of the slow movers. ;o)

Well, now you're looking for Theme Hospital and HoMM3.

dedoporno: Really?!? How many copies were there? I was afk not longer than 5 minutes, how fast did it sold out? I wanted that for to make the RPG trifecta, dammit!
avatar
animalmother2105: 900 copies, gone in under 5 minutes.
Well, I guess that figures. I overestimated the time it will take the last couple of Omerta copies to sell and missed it...
hurry people! buy primoridia! (i have to go in 5 min......arggggghhh! need Thief 2!!!!!!!!)
gah - Baldur's gate goes up and the website goes down. Oh well.
GOG may need to upgrade their server capacity before their next big promo.

LOL, I did exactly the same!

Ungunbu: i hope they'll do that in the next insomnia
anyway it's still possible to get free games even without scripts --- i was able to get them and also many other people

MadVulcan: I edited my post when I saw more people who I know got free offers legitimately (plus I was being a bit too sarcastic, lol). A few people are using scripts, but my lag time is also an impediment. Hopefully now that GOG sees how fast things go, they will consider improving their method and systems for next time. Every time I click on a free offer its either already expired or the server has overloaded. Thank you for your reply.
I got Giana Sisters expired twice, once free the other the last chance one, maybe they should make the free ones based on time in stead of ammount.
This forum isn't getting any more stable, is it? Hate it when its crashes silently drop my posts.
