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.

HaydenRead: Win 7 has ping available....
Never said it didn't. I just said I had no clue. Also I really thought that they wanted to get rid of cmd.exe after XP which would have left me even more clueless :)
avatar
The_Blog: Getting like 51-52 for secure.gog.com with active download running.
Downloads shouldn't affect ping times, a ping is much less that 1 kilobyte of information.
Wow, I left 5 hours ago, any more games still to come?

smoother: Windows 7 (64bit)

Oh oh, I know! We did this yesterday! It's Start Menu --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Command Prompt, then enter "ping secure.gog.com".

Xiko91: I was just curious. I already have it, retail (in a metal box that was pretty but it's getting really rusty).

arcusc: It rusts? *turns on the dehumidifier*
Yeah, I have a problem with my room as it gets pretty humid.

zeffyr: After 32k posts even ping stuff has to show up.
This isn't even the first time it's come up, we had this conversation 10k posts ago in this thread.

It's the great "zero freebie" debate. I use statistics a lot in my work and believe me it should not be possible to score more than one freebie. Well, it's possible, but so improbable that you'd better buy a lottery ticket because the odds are stupidly low.

Chandoraa: I consider Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within to be a good film. Certainly not perfect, but definitely undeserving all
avatar
CorranHorn: I also liked the movie, never really played the games only tried a demo of FF VI or VII on PC. The movie was pretty good, saw it on the big screen and then got it on DVD and later on BD=).
Play any of them (between I and X) and/or any of Mistwalker's games, and you shall see the Light.

mudd1: I thought it was all Powershell these days and cmd.exe was deprecated? Guess nobody uses the shiny new thing?
avatar
Infin8ty: cmd.exe runs all the NT (old DOS) commands

Powershell runs objects.

Each have their uses, although Powershell is usually more useful.
I see. Powershell was promoted as being the answer to the Unix/Linux command line. Didn't know they now have two command lines in Windows that do different things because of ... reasons I guess :)

I bought The Pit. I mean, it was just looking at me, daring me to buy it, taunting even. I for one don't take that to well. I guess we know who's running this show...wait a minute.
