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

Thx in advance
Don't Starve already had a last change... that lasted forever (hours).

Alien8n: lmao, you'd think so wouldn't you. Once you've added all the different insurance scams, er schemes, you quickly realise it's one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in. I quite like the fact that being poor or having a pre-existing condition doesn't sentence me to a slow lingering death in the UK

smileytorist: Contrary to what everyone thinks, being poor or having a pre existing condition doesn't mean you don't get health care. I for one am both, and I'm still alive. The problem is that regulations aren't universal across the states, so qualifying for public health care or being able to get decent private coverage is different for each state. The government here actually spends more in reimbursing hospitals for care given to the uninsured then it would cost to implement universal healthcare. Politicians just don't talk loudly about these things, because you don't get votes by pointing out that there is a safety net in place, you get votes for claiming your opponent wants to kill poor/sick people.
Yeah, I've got a few friends over in the US so I get to hear how messed up the politics are over there. There's a great video somewhere where they described 2 healthcare laws (I think they were described as Obamacare and Romneycare) and overwhelmingly people were pro one and against the other. This was despite the fact both packages were actually the same (the same law Obama finally put in place).

No. Don`t starve was already in this last round. Of course it might come as a freebie, but that is not granted and chances of getting freebies are minimal.

It's already been up as a freebie in this round too, I don't think it'll be by again.

gscotti: I don't think this is what people assume about US healthcare (that those who are poor don't get it). What we see is that there is a large demographic of not-poor-enough Americans who cannot afford it. I personally know a few such unfortunate people, who are seriously thinking of getting a job in the EU for that reason alone.
Our Healthcare Industry here in the U.S. is the most cut-throat of all the industries, including making Wall Street look like Boy Scouts. Through Greed, these Cartels cast a dark shadow across the entire Nation. Pray they don't come to your countries.

Xiko91: What do you guys think about Postal 2? I played it and liked it back in the day but playing now wasn't that great.

Faeja_Vu: Unfortunately that's exactly the same for me. I remembered playing a demo of it years back, loved it, felt all rebellious-like playing it, and in general, found a lot of it quite funny. Now that I've matured more, most of it is actually pretty stupid.
Postals reputation comes only from crazy and brutal gameplay and constant media madness around the series, there is nothing more. No real story, crappy level design, chunky FPS mechanics, etc
Its nothing like Half Life, or Chaser for example.

Yeah, but unfortunately the nostalgia bug suckered my into buying it quite a while back.. Honestly though, the "crazy and brutal gameplay" isn't even all that crazy and brutal anymore.. It's just ridiculous and as you said, clunky. I can't even enjoy running around murdering all the random npc's anymore. :|
