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

KMJX: Okay peoples.
I have one spare copy

Neverwinter Nights : Diamond Edition

to give out. There is a problem though:

- I don't want to put it up for ninja grabs
- My imagination right now is suffering from tiredness, so I have no idea what to do about the giveaway
- it has to be in this thread, it Keane't be any other way.

Any ideas?
Trade it for something.

Look at my "HAVE" list and see if there's anything there that interests you:

Dreadjaws: Lucky you. I get 304ms. No wonder I've been completely unable to get even one free game.

arcusc: I get 17 ms. Still haven't managed to get any of the freebies.

kecskeszarv: Wait more, these last games will take a while and give it out later. I think somebody will surface who will want that one badly. Of course do this if you have time, or can postpone this a couple of hours.

A lot of people left for the time being, but may return.
Count me in as one who would love to have Neverwinter Nights...missed out this morning going to the hospital to visit my wife's grandmother who had a heart attack. She's doing alright, but a heart attack at 91 is not good.

mm3n: I read that few days back in this thread and learned, lol.

Open cmd in windows and type ping www.gog.com

I hope I explained it well xD

I'm afraid so :/ Like, *really* fast.
Jade Empire™: Special Edition on Steam $3.75 USD, check..

Marcin: I have about 15-20 ms on crappy 10mbit line.

IMHO GOG should add long and difficult CAPTCHA to all freebies.
Hell no. Die already CAPTCHA. I can't stand CAPTCHA and will avoid it like the plague it is.

I find that Captchas are fine as long as they are purely numeric ones.
