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

Coelocanth: That still leaves a lot of chapters to go downhill. It's definitely a mediocre campaign, but I personally didn't mind it (hell, I've played through it 4 or 5 times). But some of the community made modules really put it to shame, and the official expansions are far better as well.

nijuu: Any modules you can recommend?. I rememeber installing it off disk & getting partway through before my attention switched (happens a lot with games lol).
There are premium modules, some of them really cool. You can maybe search them up on the internet (I remember getting them from the official forums).

moonshineshadow: Ah damn, the promo tricked me into buying another game... but it looks fun.
Oh sure... blame it on the sale... :P
Was there anything between Postal and Miasmata?

Velgor: I was just talking via PM to someone exactly on that topic. My theory is it's a form of Stockholm syndrome. We've all been through the "trauma" of this Insomnia Promo and have bonded together in the face of adversity, as well as found a new love for our captors, the GOGers.

MGShogun: Reminds me of my old Everquest days, lol.
Oh ya. Prexus was my server.

Velgor: This promo has done that over 20 times to me so far...
I don't know what happened either. Was only looking to buy a couple games.

Ended up buying 17 so far...

mondo84: Is it me or has this thread led to some very nice bonding among GOG users?

It's like we've all experienced something together, and we feel closer to one another. :)

All hail GOG, our most benevolent captor and provider of digital DRM-free games!

I agree. Something about going through the lack of sleep together, sharing our sorrows when we miss our desired game sale, venting and raging about all the slow movers, etc.

Have to say in a strange way this will all be missed once the sale is over.

2013 Fall Insomia Sale FTW! :-D

GhostwriterDoF: Oh sure... blame it on the sale... :P
Of course I blame it on the sale, this damn ticking down numbers, glaring at the bar etc... the longer it takes the harder it becomes to resists :D
25 more games to go after Miasmata! Hang in there people!
everyone ive spoken to here (in ireland) hasnt heard of ''Repo the genetic opera'' have many here heard of it?
In case somebody needs to kill 6 minutes while Miasmata runs down, they've released a mini-Doctor Who episode in advance of the coming 50th anniversary show. It's called The Night of the Doctor and can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U3jrS-uhuo
Also for some random chatter while waiting...

Today my mom told me "I saw an ad and looked at it and saw all the games were like $60. Do games really cost that much now a days?" I told her "No, usually that gets you about half the game then they expect you to pay more to get the rest of it online."

She responded with "Thats insane. How much do you pay for your games?" "I got 10 in the last few days and spent under $25"
