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

Stoltverd: HEEEEEEY

BG2EE came up few days ago...
So i have to ask the inevitable question...
What do you guys think? Is the EE collection worth it? or do you still prefer the old collection? (i personally have both)
Don't think price wise, lets pretend they both are priced the same.
So? EE collection or original collection?

Uzur9: Seems alot? of people say just go with the Classic and MOD it. EE least with BG1 is buggy. Only issues Ive had sofar is movies stuttering (and now after the patch 1.2.0 videos are even more messed up) had some issues getting The Black Pits working. BUT other then that Its not bad.

Ide say if u can pick it up 5$ (what I paid) then snag it.

Shendue: How long do you think it will take for Theme Hospital to be sold? Half an hour maybe?
avatar
SpiderFighter: About ten minutes ago it was still selling 20 copies per minute, but now that's dropped down to about 6 cpm...which leaves about 90 mins left. So I'd say between 75-90 mins, if it doesn't slow down.
Most games tend to speed up near the end as the fence sitters realize they are out of time.

stg83: I sure hope so, my PATIENnce is start to wear out. :P
Sorry. Someone already beat you to that pun. You will just NEEDLE try again.

smileytorist: I would like to take this opportunity to apologize, since it appears that my comment seems to have spawned the invasion of the politics. I'll go back to lurking now.
I'm pretty sure both of you had the best possible intentions, but politics, no matter how polite and respectful people is, always tend to make for harsh and very long and articulate discussions.
That's why some internet forums strictly forbid talking about politics or restrict those kind of discussions to off-topic forums.
An off-topic forum would be probably a useful addiction to GOG.

Not yet.

Knofbath: Most games tend to speed up near the end as the fence sitters realize they are out of time.
Indeed, and I think this one will be even moreso. It does seem to have picked up speed again, and we're back up to about 12-15cpm again.
And what do you think of mods?
For classic BG: Do you prefer tutu or trilogy? also what mods do you like?
For EE: What mods do you like?
I got:

Deus Ex
Theme Hospital
Sacred Gold
Sniper Elite
Neverwinter Nights 2
Myst
Tales of Monkey Island
Leisure Suit Larry

I got free:
Aquanox 2

I want:
Jade Empire
Neverwinter 1

Pretty good score if I do say so myself 9 games for about $17

That at least is one positive aspect of a slow mover.Definitely gives you time to do some research and make up your mind.

GOG forums are pretty much moderator free (although i remember someone mentioning certain past topics were usually avoided after some heated flame wars...) but members usually respect what a given thread is usually about....

trustymutsi: Apparently the Thief pack was $3.79 in a recent GMG sale. Is there any other pro to the GOG versions that make them worth the extra few bucks? Does GOG make the games they offer more compatible/less bug-free?
avatar
Schemilix: Did you just mash less buggy and more bug-free together and say the opposite of what you meant?
DOH!! Sorry, I fixed it. I meant "more compatible/bug free".

Stoltverd: And what do you think of mods?

I didnt realise there were any mods for EE.....

Interesting question though, how does a democracy function if most of the people avoid any discussion of politics, and function as 'low-information voters' who are overly influenced by propaganda? Ya, that could go in 'off-topic'.

ALH: That at least is one positive aspect of a slow mover.Definitely gives you time to do some research and make up your mind.
That's why I initially started a list, so I could do the research ahead of time so when the games I was interested in came up, I'd be ready. Then I figured I might as well post it.

Now, if one of those $%#! games would just come up, I'd be a happy man. lol
