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

A spoony bard could weave no finer references.
Does anyone remember when the Giana Sisters game had its last run? I seem to have missed that one.

Schemilix: The premise is problematic too. The female goes on a quest because she needs to find the big... strong man to... save the day. Aieek.

Seriously who designed that? It doesn't do her any favours in design OR the 'not getting stabbed in every vital organ' department.

GhostwriterDoF: Perhaps the armor, if we can call it that, is supposed to distract the opponents, disarming them of their ability to focus?
Then the one gay dude in the background puts an arrow in her belly, and that was the end of her. All hail the gay dudes.

Presumably the big strong man did. He apparently doesn't care that his voyeuristic approach to armorsmithing is going to get the woman skewered.

She doesn't really even fight in the battles, not like it needs to be functional. It's just a recruiting tool.

flaminganchovy: Hey. 4.99 is only 75% off?

Knofbath: 4.99/$25 = 1/5

bew1977: We need a GoG Drinking game! (Under 21 or extreme lightweights, use soda/water instead)

Your liver healthy? Won't be after this point!

Each Page Shots:
1 shot for every Keaning reference.
1 shot for every time the list of remaining games is posted
1 shot for every time someone asks about an expired game
2 shots for every blue post (Starting from this page only.)

Tab Shots:
1 shot for every non GoG tab you have open.
2 shots for every GoG tab you have open beyond this topic
1 shot every time you check the main sale topic to see if the slow game has sold yet.

Game Shots:
1 shot for every game you have purchased this sale
If one of the games was JK2, double the shots
3 shots for missing a free game.
I'm going to have to exclude myself from this game I'm afraid. I don't drink alcohol anymore, but even if I drank water or orange juice or something else, this game would kill me because I have 673 tabs open in Firefox right now, 28 open in Google Chrome, and 18 total GOG tabs besides this topic. I never got any of the free games. I'd either end up in a diabetic coma, or die from hyponatremia if I were to participate! LOL

Last night.

I thought it would pull Keane'd. But I was very very very wrong. X.X

What GOG-induced lack of sleep have you known, to speak of my dreams?

This game is actually pretty great. I own it and the only real complaint about it was the original sale price.

Yeah, I missed it too. It was a while back (it's close to 9PM here and I believe it went between midnight and 6 AM here)

SpiderFighter: Why?
Well because nobody bloody gets them, that's why. I chant the invocation of an ancient god to open the gates to Hell and nobody bats an eyelid. -chuckles-

...I have half of Loffrey's lines memorised, of all characters.
Anyone in a coma yet?

At least highly inebriated and able to sweet talk game out of?
