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

foxworks: Sorry, Pabluzcu snagged it

mm3n: I missed all 3 sadly. Take the last night out and see what happens ....
Well, I have all these:

Ultima® Underworld 1+2
System Shock™ 2
Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition
Planescape: Torment
Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™

Maybe a combination of the above for AC1?

sneakyraccoon: Wait, you mean you no longer listen to AC/DC?

Devoidless: Every once in a while I give the records a spin. Nowadays, I'm more into the industrial/electronic/whatever other genres they are.
When GOG isn't having sales, I'm saving my pennies for one of these! http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/production-systems/maschine/

gscotti: In general, the women in SMAC have very high bitchitude. They just aren't very likable :DDDD

mantarrochen: Whaaaaat, Deirdre is a pure a saint ! (or not, hehe)
That AI lady is also pretty cute I have a thing for her
Deidra: case in point - pure, unadulterated b*tch! Hahahh.

Draggon: Dang, looks like ACDC's 450 allotment was about 200 too much... :(
So much for the Rock N Roll Train...
avatar
Shendue: With little success, since the extra missions are more boring then the original ones.

chincilla: I only ever played the Xbox 360 version (which I actually very much enjoy) and never felt that what the game needed was more flag chasing, but I guess adding extra mission types like that which had no real effect on the main story was all they could do to change the game.
I played the game when it first came out and i liked it, but i won't say i LOVED it. The gameplay is really boring compared to the sequels.
By the way, nowadays the series is highly criticized because it's oversimplified and they in fact made probably too many sequels in a too short span of time, milking the cow a little bit too much. But i still enjoy them for the story. The storytelling in the series is brilliant.

SpiderFighter: Agreed. That's why I don't bother reading them. ;) Although it is kinda fun sometimes; you can often guess what someone's main news source is by reading their posts.
avatar
GhostwriterDoF: Indubitably.... yet, we must find something to do when the sale slows down. ;)
+1 for you, simply for using the far-too-underutilized "indubitably." What a great word that is. :)
Why is Assassin's Creed stalling so badly? Seemed like a matter of mere minutes at first and then I suddenly thought my network connection was gone with the counter being practically frozen in place.

Xiko91: Ok last try. Is there a spare BG2 copy in here? :(
avatar
kcrabb: ah you should have been on here a couple hours ago checking. There were like 7 people giving away that game
I never saw BG2 on sale, only all the other D&D titles. -.-

I can't help to buy anything in the next week or 2, depending on how my budgets will come out. I can't help you there, you might have a better luck with someone else. I'd grab AC1 too if I could now, I recommended it to whoever hasn't tried it :)

Cheers!

Buenro-games: I really liked AC. I thought the details in the city were great, the mechanics of the game were pretty awesome too as well as the missions and the characters. The game was slightly more complex than your average game, I think, and it does have a 18plus rating (don't get why, really) but I really enjoyed it. Probably people didn't like the somewhat complex movement mechanics just how they bitched about the Witchers attack patterns. This is definitely a good game to own, play and have fun with. Really nice detailed characters and art. Standing a top the spires and looking around is wonderful.
I will never, ever forget my first climb up a tall tower, inching out on the tiny 2x4, getting an awesome panorama of the surrounding city, and then swan-diving into a haycart... way, way cool...

You could say the the sales are on a highway to hell.

siddham: Dont regret it...get it

jfelsman: Lol. I tried to grab one of the last copies and missed out. Oh well - thats what hesitation does to you.
It will be on sale again....maybe christmas.
Definitely worth it....if you like strategy.
I hope Tomb Raider comes up before I have to go to sleep before class. I'd skip, but I have a huge exam.
Aaaand I need to get some sleep if I want to survive the day tomorrow. Maybe AC1 will slow things down til I'm awake again. ^^

"Unadulterated"? What the hell does that mean? You cold-hearted science fuzzi gonzo!
