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

Prydeless: Avoided a tragedy there...

Waiting since Friday for JE and falling asleep during Duke Nukem. Managed to wake up with only 100 copies of Jade left!

zoozilla: That's some luck.

I clicked the "Buy" button really early, and when I finished the transaction more than half the copies were already gone. It went by crazy fast.
Hehe, I dunno how I would've reacted if I didn't end up with the game.
Well, I think I'm done. Here's the damage I've done. I've played/owned all the of the following at one point except for WC IV
1. Baldur's Gate
2. Myst
3. System Shock 2
4. Never Winter Nights Complete
5. Wing Commander IV
6. Jade Empire: Special Edition

Thanks for the fun on the forums over the last 4 days. Now that I know this is a fairly active community I'll drop by from time to time. Hopefully it's a different format for the Christmas sale.

Cheers!

stan423321: Were you listening ot one certain Nintendo soundtrack channel which I thought was just copystruck, or did the whole YouTube start releasing teams of highly skilled monkeys?

yanko44: waiting for a surprise ?!
Yes, so nothing happens.
I missed Assassin's Creed, but got everything else I wanted from the sale.

If you have Assassin's Creed GOG Key and are interested in any of the below, feel free to PM:
Jade Empire
Witcher 2
King Of Dragon Pass
M.A.X. + M.A.X. 2
No... No... you should NOT PM me a Jade code... Absolutely not. You should NOT be that generous... even if I am deserving. No... No... don't PM me a Jade code. I mean it... no... no... no...

/reverse psychology
Just waiting for Thief 2 now. Heroes 3 is really slowing down, but it has been a top seller on GOG for a long time, so I guess a lot of people already have it.

Here's my haul so far:

Rogue Legacy (round 1)
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (round 1)
Populous: The Beginning (round 3 I think)
NWN2 (round 3)
Theme Hospital (round 3)
Thief 3 (round 3)
NWN1 (round 3)
Tomb Raider 1+2+3 (round 3)
Thief Gold (round 3)

Also gifted Thief 3 (round 1) to a friend who wanted it but had never bought from GOG before. I wanted the Thief games but passed them up in round 1 because I had no idea whether they'd all be part of the sale or whether I'd be able to snag them (because I was at work on the first 2 days of the sale).. I also missed round 2 completely because none of the games I wanted popped up when I was able to watch.
Now even Youtube is broken. What's up, Internet?!

Draggon: You're freaking kidding me... I missed out on Jade Empire on my 20 min drive home from work after all the hours I spent staring at this sale since Thursday?!?

AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHGHHHHHHH!

Pabluzcu: At least you were driving away from a computer, you couldnt do anything about it, I am at home, went to the kitchen, talked to someone in the phone, and when I got back not only had I missed Jade, I almost missed Thief gold!

Man, I feel so dumb :P

My brain wasnt prepared for that kind of sudden speed :S
Sorry 'bout that, dude... It's been one crazy sale, eh? :D
avatar
