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

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream should be retitled to I Have No Energy and I Must Sleep: GOG Special Edition

Khalaq: d00d... Looking at all the amazing games you've bought, you've got tremendous value for your money. I guess you're done buying yourself Christmas presents?
It's true. Went way over budget, but with these being so cheap it's not like I can feel that bad, right? :p

Thing is, I only recently joined the site and bought Jade Empire, Tropico 3, Ultima Underworld 1&2 and VII and every HOMM game on the site. Otherwise I'd have also bought all of them, too!

garrus74: This sale has taken its toll not just on us, but our machines too it seems. Somehow my desktop bsod'ed, and then is telling me there is a correctable memory error on 1 of the DIMM's. Just randomly putting it out there - anyone had a similar problem, what do you usually do (memtest, something else?)? Just don't relish the prospect of talking to Dell tech support, shifting my work files to my laptop for now... Sorry for the offtopic
Could also be the socket (well mostly the DIMM) - try swapping dimms around to see if same thing happens.
GoG. playlist:

Since I am waiting for Jade Empire I will start with,

Kung fu fighting- Carl Douglas
I've been here since Thursday (or was it Wednesday?), with occasional disappearances for sleep. This sale has trashed my schedule. Come to think of it, this sale has also trashed my budget. P

Memory problems are usually solved by reseating the RAM, or just hoping it was a one time problem. If you have to replace a stick because it's failing, then Memtest 386 can help you figure out which stick is the culprit.

MaximumBunny: Tropico seems like it might take a while. You (yes, YOU) should play some Mirror's Edge while we all wait.
I really, really wanted to like Mirror's Edge, but I agree with the Zero Punctuation review. First-person platforming is hard times, particularly with narrow margins of error.
Is there people looking for Jade Empire but have to sleep now?

I maybe here for a few moment and help to purchase on behalf, but I don't know if it will show up.
Huh I seem to have unused steam keys for:
Dead Space
Burnout Paradise
Crysis 2 Maximum
Medal of Honor
Command & Conquer: Red alert 3 - Uprising

Shendue: Please, 1000 copies of Cognition so i can sleep.

stevekharon: Now is a good time to sleep you know.
It seems so.
Sorry people if my partecipation was lacking in the last hours, but i'm literally starting to collapse and i'm at workplace in less then 2 hrs, so i gotta have some sleep.
You people are awesome and that's the bottom line.

CarrionCrow: 8 to 12? Try 80.

GhostwriterDoF: Good heaven's!

I hope you scored a few of the games you wanted all this time....
All but one.

I don't even wanna think about the number of titles I would have gotten if I didn't already own most of them...

Edit: Although I even bought some of those I already have for gifting...

Knofbath: I don't think anyone was in a hurry to jump on an Origin code, at least on this site.

BHTrellis: I still play Kingdoms of Amalur at times. And Arkham City that requires it.
Arkham City GOTY is on Steam and in the current Humble Bundle if you want to partially escape from Origin's clutches.
