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

Under 100 to go! Finally!
After watching a Let's Play for Theme Hospital, I'm thinking I might jump on this last chance to get it.

Does anyone have any experience with CorsixTH? How well is it implemented, and is it worth using over the vanilla game?

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

mkell_226: I haven't been on Gamefaqs in ages, probably before whatever you're talking about. What happened?
heh,I still lurk on gamefaqs, don't post much anymore. It does have some entertaining or useful game boards. And the movie boards are fun too. However GoG is still my favorite for classic pc/ indie game related stuff ^_^
Psychonauts is worth it ? Looks like a very original platformer, and I want to brag that I survived 'til the end, LOL

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

Oh, and do you guys recommend Theme Hospital?
Oh, Resonance... that was such a long time ago!!! Maybe someone else might help you with that, I'm having serious trouble just remembering what came right before Theme Hospital.

As to your second question: most definitely. Not joking, not trolling. Theme Hospital is an amazing, fun, deep, addictive little game that everyone should play at least once in their lives. Be sure to try other Bullfrog games as well, GOG has a great catalog of those.

Schemilix: I find some of the comments he made to just be plain old unnecessary though. Slagging off people who post pictures of what they make in Minecraft for example. It just reeks of jealousy, pettiness and 'you can't have fun unless I say so!' mentality.

Mental health issues (depression in particular) don't excuse being a total arse in a public forum. I have a right to say that.

mkess: That's right. I should know that best. You have to be polite, and should be able to ignore such comments. It's no use to throw your hate of mankind into any forum.

Even if you think, it is tbetter to start over with bacteria again, you should not pin that on the person, who has an aother oppinon as you. :D
Star over with bacteria? Bacteria is the most dominant species on the planet now... :D

nijuu: Is Armored Princess any good?
avatar
PaterAlf: It's similar to King's Bounty - The Legend. Some new units and spells, a new storyline. Everything else is more or less the same. So if you liked the first game and wanted it to be longer, this is your game.
king's Bounty was original a game from Amiga times. HOMM was derived from this first version.

Devoidless: Gah, even in-game, I can help but think I missing a deal. I kept Alt-Tabbing out of the game (even though I have someone telling me when the game changes). It's bad, real bad.

I'm going to switch up games and see if that helps. I hope it does.

snip3rfire: I've got a dual monitor setup to solve this problem. Left screen has been fixed to the GOG homepage for the past few days now.
Same here. Have browser on the right and if i play any games i make sure its window-mode

I tried that in the past but my other screen just goes black when the game goes full screen (or display the wallpaper, it's been a while) instead of displaying my other program.

No, long week. :P

gamingrn: Now that's hardcore, I salute you.

Coelocanth: I have a similar set up: two separate rigs networked. Left screen is on the GOG home page. Right screen has my browser up with about 30 tabs open so I can cruise my regular sites while still watching the sale.
Have something similar. Very handy :D
Also thanks for all the replies to Theme Hospital even tho it was a semi joke question ^_^

However with the interesting responses I will resurrect it from my backlog and play a little of it when it gets slow again here. ^_^

Exactly. There are devs who hold strong, often negative opinions, but the point is to phrase them respectfully - and generally to keep them to one's own space for opinions if they're truly 'controversial', such as twitter, blogs etc. where you're not pushing it in someone's face. If they want to avoid you and your constant torrent of bigotry and bitterness, they more or less can. Everyone has a right to opinions and all, but crashing civil conversations with your bullshit's pretty damn rude and inexcusable.
I'm alliterating too much, time to blow up parliament. I'm only an hour from London.

(Now M15 is probably after me.)

Use a smart phone or tablet to monitor the sales instead.
