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

"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."

Schemilix: 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 was one of the people sitting here in the Forums waiting for games like the rest of us... :D

MGShogun: Not stimulating enough.

Knofbath: I don't think they've made 50 Shades of Grey into a game yet.
Not going to play it.

Not fan of BDSM. :P

Decaf_PIxel_Kat: I can't believe I missed Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum! *bangs head on wall* Have there been any repeat games or is it over when it's over?
this is it

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

MGShogun: I wish that they wouldn't hype Jade Empire so much in this thread. Too tempting as hella.
Me too, (and HoMM3.. but that is just a toy in comparison)

John Cleese voices a character in the game. 'Nuff said?

Gotta love the fun professors.

Briareos262: I'd say the sales on this promo are slight better than the holiday sales because of the large discounts to alot of the games ^_^

On the flip side tho the holiday sales do usually have nice bundles and at least 50% off of almost entire gog catalog of games. Not sure if they will do the same this year, they did last year tho.
I'd say you are wrong...i'd be willing to bet that sales were actually much stronger - many many more impulse buys with people spending on things they had no intention to to begin with - this sale is a cash cow for them and other online distributors will imitate. It has already been mentioned by the guys at gamefly or getgames that they are interested in perhaps doing the same thing.

It's just KotOR and Mass Effect, except with martial arts! BOOM! Dehyped.

MWink: La Mulana! Finally, one I've been waiting for. This looks like it has serious potential but the price was holding me back. Now I can give it a try. Now if I could just get a Thief game I could be done with this horrid sale.

I love GOG but I hate the format of this sale. The freebies are the worst part. I've seen at least 7 of them and despite clicking as soon as they appeared, I got none (and there was one I really wanted). It may as well pop up a pic of a giant middle finger. If GOG wants to give away freebies they should do it like they did last time (word searches and what not).
Agreed, on pretty much all of that. The freebies are just taunting me, if I even get to see them. If there's one thing they should change about this sale format it's the freebies, which should be more of a "lottery" thing or whatever.

northern7: sure looking like they are setting up to do all the Thief games in a row.

Buenro-games: 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".

o.0

Come on GOG, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Sigh, such wishful thinking on my part.
I picked them up in the Fair and Square bundle for $15 a few months ago. Bad part is I had to buy Daikatana with it, I wasn't happy about that.
I can stay awake no longer. If The Witcher 2 comes up before 8:30 AM EST (currently 12:30 AM) , please buy one for me and I will reimburse you. Night all.

Those silly folks. Always have to hype over the game that I have little interest in. It's like...... if everyone is raving about it then I must scoop it up.
