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

Look above your profile pic on the settings page for the dialogue 'change picture'.

Schemilix: If I play Soul Reaver and none of the others, is it self-contained?
To a certain degree. But you'd want to play the second one also in order to witness one of the better game stories in existence. You may also try to play the Blood Omen series (first one is an absolute must!) and Defiance for extended lore and character development, but the important stuff is mostly in the Soul Reaver games.

What's the tone? It seems quite melodramatic to me. I'm a bit sick of vampires. Especially sad, angsty tortured vampires. At least Kain's ugly and gross-looking, which is a return to the old ways that I like. I like my Strigoi hideous.

Nope. Had to leave the house a bit this arvo and was reliant on iPhone. When I went to the GOG page, it just kept refreshing, and led to a broken link when attempting to login. So yeah, far off being able to make a purchase.

I've already requested an external GOG launcher for PC desktop during this sale, and now I'm requesting a GOG mobile application to be able to make GOG purchases on the go.

Good to know. I hadn't used my iPad yet but tried from my phone and Paypal was successful but it didn't registered with GOG and had to contact support. They fixed it quickly. Wasn't sure if that was an isolated incident or not. Sounds like it might have been.
I hate to ask this but, does anyone have an extra code of Neverwinter Nights 1? I waited all night for it, had to give up and go to sleep and missed it. Just PM me about it and I'll get back to you in time.

Cardian: It ends on a cliffhanger.

Edit: Wait... did it end on a cliffhanger or was that Soul Reaver 2? No, that one ALSO ended on a Cliffhanger.

Schemilix: I'm reluctant to spend time and money on an entire series... Kain himself doesn't look all that interesting, Raziel I've heard a lot about.
Also I heard Blood Omens 2 is wank.
The Soul Reaver series is mostly self contained, though Blood Omens 1 sets up the backstory and Blood omens 2 is kind of an aside.

Alright. I can commit to those two, and then if I really like them, I can pick up the others since they're often on sale. Thanks!
