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

BananaJane: Is the PS4 really out? Maybe I'll look it up when there's a good game on it!

Knofbath: Sounds the the initial run consoles are having some issues with overheating or temperature sensors. "Red line of death" is the buzzword for it. Not like any of the launch titles are impressive..
this is why I never buy launch consoles. Also the prices are way too high and launch games always meh to me. Don't get me wrong I will get the PS4 and Xbone, I just will be waiting a long time when they get price dropped and bundled with good games and have no system issues ^_^ That and I have no crazy expendable fun money for a good long while >_>

I need an autograph from him,,, LOL

BananaJane: Yeah like what's the point of buying it before there's games you want for it?
Odds are the ones you want that aren't out yet are gonna be cancelled just like with the wii.
By the time stuff you want is out the price will have dropped.

Cardian: A friend of mine bought a PS3 for Last Guardian when that was announced... well... we know how that played out....
So did I!

several_options: Anyone placing bets on how long this one takes?
I am going to say at least 3 hours until it sells out, it has already slowed down a lot.

I didn't pick up the PS3 until last year. Had to spend a bit of time researching games, but I had 5 years of games and reviews to pick through so I could be selective about it.

Cardian: I heard there's also the blue pulsing light of death. I'll get a PS4 once there are actually good games out for it...

Even more so if you have a PS3 (and two) with a decent collection of games too...

Cardian: I actually miss editing those files a bit. It's almost too easy nowadays to play games, so every idiot can do it ;)

skeletonbow: Ah, if you truly miss it... Set up a Linux machine if you don' t have one already, or install it into a virtual machine such as VMware or VirtualBox for free, then try to get all of the DOS games to work in DOSbox in Linux and Windows games in wine. Weeks worth of entertainment for the dedicated gamer that likes solving OS and software problems, hehehe. :oP
But that's the thing. If it can be achieved in an easier way, I don't want to do it. It was fun while it had to be done but I'm not creating more work than I have to ;)
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I'VE BEGAN TO LIVE...

skeletonbow: PS4? What's that? :oP

Here's a little treat for you and any other old-school gamers!

Cardian: This awesome background music for this sale.
Yeah, sure brings back memories of the 80s on the C64. Rob Hubbard was a musical genius and certainly one of the best video game music composers of the 80s. That song is IMHO one of the best ones he worked on. The machine only had 3 voices and some percussion noises in the SID chip IIRC, but there is rich polyphony going on in there with all the swirling filters and whatnot. He really made the SID chip sing more than the designers of the chip likely ever expected were possible with it. Great stuff! :)
the advantage of having brothers and sisters is they help you as relays. :)
