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

Momo1991: Well you can get a GOG back-up key with your Steam purchase...just sayin'
Yes, buy you must activate it yourself, not trade it.
I'm on floor 9 in the Pit, I have nothing but a small blade :o
These games are all stalling at this point....I was hoping for a couple of quickiees to move things along...I can't last another 12 hours!
Could someone post THE LIST please? Thanks in advance.

GhostwriterDoF: It's a good game, though I haven't finished a full play-through yet. It got patched when I was about halfway through and I haven't gotten back to starting a new game yet.

Coelocanth: Yeah, it was one of the handful on my wishlist when the sale started. The timing when it showed up was wrong for me (I believe I was out of the house at the time). Thought it would cycle through a second time long before this, but as I said, I'm starting to think this one may not be coming around again at all.

On a side note, I don't know which is more addictive: the sale or this freaking thread itself. *sigh* I have so much work to do around the house today and here I sit at my computer.
Break the housework into missions, and every time a slow seller pops up in the sale, do the missions one at a time... :D

Gives me time to throw some laundry in, so I don't mind. Sucks for you guys that are into late evening though.
Any1 interested in trading TW2 for Brutal Legend? (I supply TW2, and need BL)
At work. Can someone quickly post the lost if what is left? Or just let me know if I missed Brutal Legend. (just bought Witcher 2 on my lunch break on my phone, I have a problem lol)

Shendue: I already own the physical limited edtion of Witcher 2, so i'm passing on this.
I own that one, too, since launch and haven't even started it yet... my PC is just too shabby to run it properly... well, at least I have a Geralt bust and playing cards.
Did anybody miss Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic? I have an extra copy to trade for something i don't already own.

True but I was just saying that he could have both 1&2 on his GOG account if that makes him happy. He might not have realized that...
