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

Crsldmc: Are the ArmA games already been featured in this promo?

Thanks for reading guys!

WillOfD: Unfortunately they wont be featured.
Really, any reason? I've not been too active this later days.

A shame, I was interested in them, winter sale it'll be I guess.

Thanks for the fast reply though!

skeletonbow: Just go back a few pages in the thread and people are posting what games have already been in the promo and what is coming up next regularly about once every half hour to hour or so. I don't recall if ArmA series are on the list or not offhand though. I will say that the ArmA games are top of the line as far as tactical combat shooters go, and one thing they have over pretty much almost all other games in the genre, is support for the NaturalPoint TrackIR Pro head tracking device. I've got one and it gives you a game playing experience like I've not seen yet in any other FPS game to date.

Indeed, excellent games! also I'd love to get one of those, I can only imagine how it must be to put your head in the game, just like they say.

Thanks for the reply!

Buenro-games: They always made a big fuss over her boobs. Same thing happened to my wonderful Firiona Vie from Everquest. Sigh.

BlueLemon: Wow, that must have been really difficult for you to deal with..
We all have our poisons.
I thik Witcher 2 will be the last game of this sale

Honestly, that's what i'm thinking as well. Good thing I already own it. Shame, taht I can't get it to run without any stutter unless I decrease the resolution... a lot.

drennan: GOG is not the one to blame for that one -- the turnip-like object was already there on the original stock photo.
avatar
Buenro-games: There we go, you found the original photo. Awesome.
And it's not a turnip, it's a rose hip. It's the fruit of the rose, which still hangs around even after some or most of the leaves have gone. They can be used to make jelly, are a very high source of vitamin C, and used to be used to fight scurvy (perhaps even by sailors & pirates @ sea, when citrus was unavailable).

So there :P


And +1 for finding the stock photo ;)
