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

Morning.

Seems I missed Alpha Centauri, such a shame, although I doubt I could have given it much playtime regardless.

ChocoboSlayer: So how is Miasmata? Does it have any sort of rewarding sense of progression?
I played it through about a month and a half or so ago and really enjoyed it. It's purely a game of exploration and survival. There is a creature on the island that occasionally will stalk you and you need to run like hell. Other than that, it's basic survival and trying to discover new plants and do research on them to eventually create the different components of a cure for the sickness that ails you and eventually find a boat and get off the island. The graphics are pretty nice and the island is rich and complex. Don't forget to get back to a camp site or cabin by around 8:00-9:00pm though or you're caught out in the dark in the middle of the night which is very dangerous. :)

GabiMoro: I wonder how Heroes 3 will sell. First round went very fast but I heard it did quite slow in the second.
HOMM3 is a classic of the highest order! (and unfortunately GOG has been going crazy with the #'s on the 3rd round classics)

They'll probably drop 1200 copies and cause it to grind to a slow halt at ~300 left or something crazy.
I know it's been said, but this format for the sale is weird and frustrating. I'm looking at missed opportunities on games I want because I have a life and can't spend hours watching a ticker wind down, time after time. I appreciate the discounts, but I'm feeling some resentment here.
OMG JACK KEANE AGAIN? 1400 COPIES?

Briareos262: well one thing for sure. I'm certain this promo deal gave them tons of exposure and should bring alot more people to gog. I mean 80% of alot of titles that does not include the word steam is just awesome. Brilliant marketing from gog, I'm sure they alot more people here and hopefully they can bring more classic games to us ^_^

If true, we can all be comatose for the next 24 hours and catch up on some much needed rest

BananaJane: OMG JACK KEANE AGAIN? 1400 COPIES?
Due to popular demand. The word "Keane" even made it to the NSA blacklist.
Five days in, I almost can't believe there are still twenty games left to go. Really interested in what GOG staff's thoughts on this whole experiment will be once it's finally over.

BananaJane: I've sorta given up on reading every single post, there's SO MANY
Not to worry. At Christmas, GoG will release the hard cover version of The Chronicles of The Keaning.
I wonder who actually bought Jack Keane? Has it turned out to be actually amazing?
