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

GhostwriterDoF: I didn't have any technical issues with that game, though I have the physical copy of DA O Ultimate.

Ran it with Win7 64bit, on GTX 450 Geforce Nvidia card.

Devoidless: I'm thinking part of the issue might be running it from a digital version and just really crappy optimization. I can run other games that are a lot more demanding no problem on high settings, but DA:O-UE just tanks so hard. That game never took issues with dual/muti-cores, did it?
Not for me, I have a Duel Core Pentium on this PC.

ErekoseDM: how long ago did i miss Space Colony HD by?
>_<
A good couple of hours
did anyone have problems with corrupt saves for splinter cell conviction on xbox?
avatar
Devoidless: Talking about laggy PC messes, anyone else have Dragon Age: Origins- Ultimate Edition? If so, does it run really poorly for you as well? I'm hard pressed to get over 20 FPS in the starting areas, and it doesn't really get better after that.

Buenro-games: Shouldn't do that. My computer is not really that good and I don't lag on that at all (haven't played it in over a year). Must be some issue with the installation or your directx drivers or something. Definitely should not lag. Also, check on options and reduce some of the aliasing, shadows etc to see if that helps.
If I take all the options down to lowest, I might be able to eke out 5 more FPS. It's the only 'older' game I have issues with.

Unfortunately, you did...

wanderlust76: So if you already own a game you can't give it away without someone's email?
avatar
Velgor: That's right. So just send it to the same email account you used for the GOG website and it'll put it under the gifts. Then you can view it on your account page and give the code to whom-ever you want. But once that code is used, it's gone.
Oh wow ok I wouldn't have thought it lets you do that. I would have bought Alpha Centauri for someone if I could have figured that out. Well now I know at least.

I have it on Steam and has run flawless for me.

Yeah, it took me a while to figure that out as well. But now you know for any future deals.

Craig234: What's the difference in 'AC Director's Cut' here and the 'AC' I have on Steam?
This one takes longer to sell.

I have whatever is the most recent? 12 is it? I honestly don't recall if I tried messing the with DX version. I think I did though.
