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

gamingrn: Airplane's got its share of great quotations. Another classic 80's comedy.

Random trivia, did you know that the director's originally wanted to cast Pete Rose as the co-pilot but he said no. I'm glad, because Kareem was hysterical in that role.

Briareos262: I remember that one. Haven't seen the movie in ages. It was indeed funny.
I have to throw my own favorite Zucker exchange into the conversation!

Nick Rivers: Hillary. That's an unusual name.
Hillary Flammond: It's a German name. It means 'she whose bosoms defy gravity'.
Nick Rivers: I'm pleased to meet you. My name's Nick.
Hillary Flammond: Nick? What does that mean?
Nick Rivers: Oh, nothing. My dad thought of it while he was shaving.

RandomJC: Cats are wonderful things. Don't need walks, clean themselves, and more than willing to eat your corpse if they get hungry.

BHTrellis: Ah, I see someone else remembers that Bones episode too.
Nope. I read up on Cats when I got my first one. I am very proud that my cat is practical enough to eat me instead of being loyal and starving. It's what I would do.

GhostwriterDoF: Is clicking on the Buy button an exercise of a higher, or lower mental faculty, if the outcome is a freebie won?
On one level it's classical conditioning. On the other hand the act was performed before reward was given, i.e. there was an understanding prior to the deed that reward was to be had, therefore, it is in fact a behaviour indicative of higher reasoning.

Of course in another animal, the animal can't tell you, 'I did this to do this'. It's just as likely our GOGer-animal accidentally clicked the button, perceived reward, and kept doing so again!

That's why communication is important. A form of self-reporting is being looked into in other critters such as apes and monkeys.
C'mon fence sitters... Theme Hospital is just what the doctor ordered to treat the insomnia brought about by the sale !

I didn't know that. That's a good piece of trivia. Agree that Kareem got the role, he was great in it.

AndyDivine79: The question is what happens when the final game is sold? Bang or whimper?
Every person who posted on this thread gets a free copy of Jack Keane 2.
You decide if that is a bang or whimper

Why not both, if you meant this in a sexual manner, banging while whimpering?!

Golly.
