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

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

Quantomas: Do not be sad if your favourite game appears to sell slow. 400 copies in an hour equals 10K per day or 300K per month! The Witcher 2 would be about 700K per month, which would be considered a big success this long after release.
Witcher 2 has been a huge success for CD Project RED, many already owns it, I would´ve bought it If I could afford it=).

arcusc: Yes, I'm giving GOG the rest of the evening, but I'm not spending another night online, before going to sleep for 20 minutes at a time at 6 am... Getting too old for this. :p

Russonc: As much as I've enjoyed this (mainly this forum chat)....had I known I may not have every got started on this sale....too addicting :)
This whole experience could be made into a point-and-click adventure. A story about a gamer, trying to get a copy of Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within, keeping missing the sale due to obstacles like work, sleep, hunger, etc.
Did anyone pick up extra copies of NWN? I need 2, and I can paypal the cost +$1 per code. ><

Without (lurking in the) forum I wouldn't have lasted through the first night, even; let alone four of them!
Anyone know if there is a list of the GOG games that can be played in a window?
high rated
I owe to this sale:

Finding this forum and meeting all you fine people

Finally memorizing my PayPal password

and last but not least...

Increasing my GOG collection by about 300%+
I regret I did not buy 'I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM'

I had the change but did click the Buy button - damn.

I own it already....just thought it would go quicker (maybe a bit high on the number available for the 3rd round)...

Yes, +1 for that insightful comment. I'm enjoying this sale and this thread - but I'm needing it to be over soon!

Xandon: I've never heard of Jade Empire (or I probably glossed over it when I did) but with all the people waiting for it, maybe I ought to pick it up as well.
Jade Empire came out on the original XBOX & PC and was spiritual successor to KOTOR 1 & 2. It had refined fighting mechanics and I believe did away with the hard good/evil tree. I played it a bit on the XBOX but want to really get into now -- if it ever shows up.

You're basically describing The Sims. :p

You do know that Keane sale durations are measured in turtle years, right?

That would be the longest point-and-click ever.
