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

AhvengingWahlker: So uh...I can't help but notice that I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream is no longer on the "to show up" list. I have a bad feeling but I must know, when exactly did it show up after Tropico 3 last night? That's when I decided to get shut-eye.

Yarilo: Immediately, I believe D:

Just like I dropped out at Thief 3 and NWN came right after xd
Oh my god, noooooooooo! D:

That was the one other game I really wanted out of this sale, other than System Shock 2, which I also missed because I didn't know this sale was going on until after it made all its rounds. ): I look forward to playing the other games I got from this sale, but still, they're not THE ones I had my heart set on. Sigh.

Sorry to hear about NWN! It's like they plan that sort of timing for maximum trolling. >:(
Well, I missed the two games I wanted. Doesn't matter, I had three or four more I wasn't expecting, and between those and my console games, I have more than enough to hold me until the eventual holiday sale.

Coelocanth: You're in the Ridge? I'm in Surrey. :)
you're not a "Surrey Girl" are you? wow, in my teenage years they had quite the reputation. ;)
I don't think I'll ever forget this last few days.

Weird sleeping patterns developed, amazing people met on forum, constant checking and re-checking of the counter... Today has been particular fun. Had to go to work, where we have quite insane internet filters that don't let you do/view practically anything, so I had to check up on GOG sale through my phone. Good thing I remembered in my not-sleeping-but-also-not-quite-awake state to bring charger ^^

Not to mention being present when this amazing community gave birth to One True Religion and its object of devotion, benevolent Keane. This week it swept over one small forum, however by the same time next year I wager it'll already take over the world. Err, khm.

Anyway, not sure why I wrote this. Maybe just to say that it's been fun. A unique sort of fun.
Now onward to Jade Empire! \o/
12 games left - another 12 hours minimum?

Should start a sweep stake as to when this will finally end.

Now if only we could come up with an appropriate prize for the winner!! ;)

northern7: you're not a "Surrey Girl" are you? wow, in my teenage years they had quite the reputation. ;)
Note quite, no. I'm a man and I'm almost 50. :P
I don't know if this will help anyone, but here's a free gift code for witcher; the enhanced edition I got free in the sale awhile back.
2GQD-DSP9-F6UH-KREK
Now I should definitely get back to my dissertation and stop getting distracted by this annoyingly addictive sale! :)

Khaleesia87: EIDOS is a big company and they became greedy I guess =/

So speaking of which...TW2 is taking so long (understandable since everyone in this forum already has a copy) but how much time did Beyond Good or Evil take to sold out? I need to get peace of my mind knowing that it went away so quickly that I couldn't have gotten it even if I was awake.
avatar
gamingrn: It actually did, around twenty minutes or less I think.
GOOD. If I was awake and, for example, making dinner I would still have missed it. This is somehow a relief!

Missing a game that took like....5 hours to sold out would s*ck a lot!

cpucrust: I believe that - I lived in Vancouver for 5 years, rain/mist non-stop for weeks.

For me, I love low humidity - can't stand high humidity whether hot or cold!

Once the sun came out though:
Single track mountain biking in BC = heaven(!)

I lasted 3 minutes, then had to shut it down. As good as that song is, that's about as much as i could take.
