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

At this point in Theme Hospital's Sale, metaphorically I picture the end of a tube of toothpaste.

You mean under 21 Americans. Here in the UK, the age limit is 18. Drink away, juveniles!

Well, I picked up Theme Hospital... I've enjoyed some of those mobile games by Kairosoft like Game Dev Story, and this looks to be an influence on those types, so it has to be worth the $1.50, right?

There goes the liver. I think most of us will get killed from the shots for missing a free game plus all the Keaning references.

15 left. Hope everyone who wanted a copy got one.

(though I just know someone is going to show up 5 hrs from now asking, "Did I miss Theme Hospital??!?!" Someone will have to give them the bad news.)

That took some work to come up with, great idea, but I too find it too steep of a challenge to survive!

It's worth it at full price, too!

You might as well just devise a way to stick a gun through the internet and shoot everyone. It'd be more expedient and more merciful. Otherwise, it's alcohol poisoning for everyone.

We'd all be dead if we played this game.

SpiderFighter: Definitely. Very original platformer; you just have to get through the first level before it gets really interesting.

EDIT: Wow. I'm so tired I just noticed that I virtually wrote what you wrote. lol

But it's true. Great game. :)

Fellin: At least its already on sale so if you miss the one you can still get it for like 3.99
