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

Includes: Episode 1: The Hangman, Episode 2: The Wise Monkey, Episode 3: The Oracle and Episode 4: The Keane Killer.
I think I got the last Witcher 2... w00t.

I only missed NWN1 in this sale, but I would never replay that game anyways. I just wanted to look at it on my shelf next to NWN2 :( Oh well.

Great sale, GOG! It was a really nice way to ignore doing some work. Let's do it again some time.
If anyone else is slightly annoyed by the frequent crashes: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/forum_server_that_wont_crash_under_load
Anyone have a surplus King's Bounty: Crossworld that they might be willing to trade? Drop me a PM.
Not sure if my post went through, read over 30 pages and didn't see it, lol. (site went down as I tried posting) I read the reviews on Cognition. Was curious what others thought of it. I can't afford to grab it, I gifted a few games to people looking for them on the forums, after someone was nice to help me catch BG1. <3 Thanks again JayMack. I will have to add it to the list for next year for birthday, so go...go..give reviews or opinions!
It seems to crash mainly when a new game comes up, which looks like there must be a heavy load of people and scripts clicking at that very same second hoping the game is free

jcoa: If I hit buy now, do I go to checkout and a bunch of other confirmation screens like normal, so I can cancel my order anytime, or is the purchase finalized right there and I am committed to paying for it? I ask so I can safely click buy now for the free games without wasting a nanosecond looking to see if it's free or not.
You can click the Buy It button without committing to the buy, just like usual.

Russonc: I don't know...didn't expect Witcher 2 to take 1 hour and 20 minutes.... (feeling hopeless...:) )

Faenwulf: Thats a good time for 900 (or 1000?) copeis of a 4.99$game in the third round.
Note bad, but when I've been staring at a counter for a good part of the last 3 and 1/2 days....it makes me long for those 1 minute 1st rounders..hehe

andysheets1975: ...Just waiting for Conquistador.
There's an indie bundle out right now that has it, if you pay $6. It's not DRM-free, though.

Well, all in all this is a forum, but we use it as a chat room. It holds up pretty well under the heavy load, I think.

You go to the checkout where you have to input your payment info and recipient's email addy if gifting.

KMJX: Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings $5.99
Wasn't it $4.99 this time around? Didn't realize before that prizes change between rounds BTW.
Looks like Erica Keane is going to be around for awhile.
