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

BHTrellis: Tell the teachers that the GoG ate your homework.

MGShogun: Will do. :D

Btw, I'm in university so that would be the professors. :)
The professor walks into the classroom, somewhat bleary-eyed....

"First, I'd like to apologize for being late. I'm a bit out of it, today, due to having stayed up late while following a sales event on GOG.com."

JustSayin: I just read two people giving up after waiting for Jade Empire...I think we know what game is next.
I'm this close to give up but I guess I can work on the projects while watching the sale.

Multi tasking, yo.
I'm only waiting for Jade Empire after being sold on it listening to all the good praise of the game in this thread... :/

Knofbath: We had Aquanox and King's Bounty. Unfortunately the Witcher 2 cover art doesn't give you much, so you'll have to imagine the pleasures within.

MGShogun: Not stimulating enough.

:(
I don't think they've made 50 Shades of Grey into a game yet.

Buenro-games: I really don't know this Mulana game but it's great to know that Platformers have such a good following among members of the gaming community. Same applies to Psychonauts. I for one am not really into platformers but I think it's great that every genre has it fans. (Platformers I last played are probably Donkey Kong and that Spy guy in the Elevator thingie with the falling lights you could shoot and also squash em with the elevetaros). sigh...
I like all kinds of different ( good ) games. I wouldn't really put Psychonauts and La Mulana in the same category, though. I think the latter is more of a classic "Metroidvania" and the former more of an Action-Adventure/ 3D exploration based game, like Banjo & Kazooie or the 3D Rayman games.

Knowing my lecturers, that could well happen. I have a meeting with my soft-spoken, Spanish personal project supervisor tomorrow, I'd laugh my ass off if he's a closet gamer.

And I would get sacrifice right front of the class, hahaha.

northern7: sure looking like they are setting up to do all the Thief games in a row.
How awesome would it be if they just offered Thief 1+2+3 in a bundle and say: "ok, $5 bucks, cough it up and they are yours".

Come on GOG, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Sigh, such wishful thinking on my part.

Devoidless: I can't stay away from the sale. I've only bagged 3 games I really want over...3 days? Or is it 4 now? Time has no meaning in this cruel plane of existence. Yet I must push on! I must see the empires of Jade where the three thieves live. I've gone too far to turn back now.

What's that, you say? It's not worth it? Nay! Silence thy betwixt tongue! The call is sweet and caressing my mind with soothing temptations of the flesh. What god evil or otherwise would make such a sumptuous, torrid offer be born from vile beasts? Begone! Begone! Your words have no influence here!

May the rats eat your eyes!
The Eternal Darkness reference is too much to bear after the whole Shadow of The Eternals "spiritual successor" Kickstarter and the infamous Denis Dyack affair. I just... need more time.

There will probably be a sale around Thanksgiving, and the Winter Sale is coming up, soon.

Agreed, so much so.

I still have faith. The 600 copies of La Mulana have caused a slight disturbance in the Keaning...but fear not! Balance will be restored soon enough, and there will be much rejoicing!

I wish that they wouldn't hype Jade Empire so much in this thread. Too tempting as hella.
Dammit i missed Alpha Centauri for meal in McDonalds, screw you Ronald McDonald, hamburgler, and Mayor McCheese
