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

mudd1: Then I have no clue. Every other OS and you could just have entered "ping IP-address" on the console. I think in Windows it used to be just that, too, only in that cmd.exe thing. I think they don't have that anymore, though? There's probably some tiny GUI thingy that you can download for free that does the same.

stg83: Windows 7 search bar: type 'cmd' press enter.
type 'ping www.gog.com' press enter.
I thought it was all Powershell these days and cmd.exe was deprecated? Guess nobody uses the shiny new thing?

Alien8n: I started with the FF Legend series on the old GB. Got completely hooked and went back to find pretty much every other Square Enix game for the GB and SNES at the time. Got the remakes of the NES games for the PSP and PS1.

One of the few series that I managed to get my mum hooked on, lol

TheRealJayDee: My mum used to play with my GB all the time, and actually bought one for herself after a while. Among other things she completely destroyed my Tetris highscores... :D
You're not the only one. I was king of the high score table in Tetris until my mother learned how to play. At first she was really feeble, and I was totally encouraging - then she got good and completely thrashed me. :-D

How does that translate? Slow?
Impossible. GOG veterans' fingers click faster than that ;)
Let me just say this one more time, very clearly: GOG community far surpasses - by light years even - any other internet community. When one finds too much hate on this infinite series of tubes, they need only turn to you people to get an overwhelming amount of hope into humanity back.

Thank you all for being amazeballs and thanks to thorton70 for Jade Empire! The night has been more than sufficiently restored, I'd say :P

cmd.exe runs all the NT (old DOS) commands

Powershell runs objects.

Each have their uses, although Powershell is usually more useful.

Astro Emporia on Desura

http://www.desura.com/games/astro-emporia

Little time waster game aimed more at mobile but plays on PC. Still early WIP.

All I got to offer at the moment.
By the way, SOTS: The Pit is a lot of fun if you like sci-fi, rogue-likes and crafting.

"Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account."
