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

mkess: *Yawn*

Good morning.

Anybody in need of coffee? I couldn't sleep any longer, and made some.

BHTrellis: Ethiopian? Sumatra? Columbian?

What kind?
Columbian. I like mild coffee, with much coffeine. :D
I gotta say this has been the one of the nicest most pleasant forum experiences I've seen on the net. I feel this sort of thing is missing from Steam. I know they have the community pages but they don't come off like this has. Or at least I've never experienced anything like this there.

Cheers to everyone for making this a very keanning experience ;)

What did I miss before Theme Hospital, and after Resonance?

Oh, and do you guys recommend Theme Hospital?

deathmyrk: We still have over a dozen or so games left?

MGShogun: Roughly 25 games left.
For a second, I thought only 25 theme h copies left and was overjoyed :-(

Any 'Keane' left? I'd like to get some sleep.
I bought Theme Hospital in one of its earlier runs during the sale and have already played it for a few hours! It's aged surprisingly well, and it's really fun/funny. Nice balance of difficulty, too, which is important in management-type games like this. :D
Gotta say, this sale has sold a LOT of games people wouldn't otherwise have bought, I have little doubt.

I can see how It could be abused - put up a 'bad game', people buy it to get to the next one.

Schemilix: I have some Arabica lying around downstairs. Unfortunately, the Atlantic Ocean is in the way.

BHTrellis: Ah, the plain low grade stuff.
Well the Kenyan's at my parents' house and my filter is broken. I'm a student, cut me some slack.

Schemilix: As a biology undergrad I must... respectfully disagree with that theory. Epigenetics do exist, though. A stressed mother can accrue enough changes in certain genes for that to impact the genetic expression of her child if that child is conceived after that, leading to the child being more prone to developing 'stress' in the biological sense of the word. In Rhesus monkeys at least.

GhostwriterDoF: How else would you account for learned traits, passed down through instincts, such as stalking in Wolves, or dogs spinning round before they lay down, when they have never lived in a place with high grasses?
There are many theories regarding instinctual behavior in animals. Just because you are unaware of them does not mean your explanation is the only possible one. And then there is the fact that human beings are quite different from other animals.

At least you aren't a Gamefaqs war veteran. I don't post there anymore. Too much hate. >_<

iAmTheTot: Noooo. Brutal Legend next. -crosses fingers-

Haven't played it myself. but, would recommend 138 copies of it :-D
Hmm, I haven't done my Shameless Plug for a while, so here it is again:

You can get a free copy of a fun old Sci-Fi Rogue-Like, "Jaunttrooper: Mission Thunderbolt" either by writing the author at megacorp@aol.com or sending me a PM here! (I'm going to bed in a moment, so I'll respond to any replies when I wake up.)

And vote it up on the wishlist: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/jaunttrooper_mission_thunderbolt

If you email the author, please encourage him to submit the game here, as it would make a great freebie and he doesn't seem interested in getting any money from it anymore.

deathmyrk: Buy Theme Hospital. It's fun!

Briareos262: I already have it, haven't played it yet tho. Is it any good?
Yea. The first five minutes drag, but once the patients come it, it starts to become total chaos. Basically got a whole hospital to build, micromanage, and budget, all the while maintaining a a good reputation to the community. Each room has its equipment, and there is so much depth in everything. However, Bullfrog has a crazy way of making all the chaos gamer-friendly while at the same time challenging. I spent about 20 minutes so far, and the time really does go by fast once business takes its spin.
