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

DrRoxo: Just wanted to do some small part towards moving this along.

Sword of the Stars: The Pit
AKMN-56FC-JFDQ-KA5Q

C and K letters are switched. You've all been amazing this past three days and three nights (sounds like a beginning of a fairytale :D), I'm off to bed. G'night!

Alien8n: You're proof of my point though, there's something else affecting the chances of winning. Seriously if you won 9 freebies join the space program, there's a better chance of you walking on the moon. The odds are that astronomical.
Or maybe your odds calculations are off.
Insomnia Sale:
Jade Empire
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream*
Resonance*
Rogue Legacy
Don't Starve*
System Shock 2*
Deus Ex*
Reus*
The Chaos Engine
Thief 3*
Rayman Orgins
Myst Masterpiece Edition
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams*

Everything with an asterix (*) was an impulse-ish buy. Without the sale price and exposure I probably wouldn't have got them.

Also, I had a lot of fun in this thread. As another member said, the Insomnia Sale was the real game -- Free to play, but lots of DLC.

AttObl: I might be interested in Expeditions: Conquistador, but there's no demo... :(
Its like a mix of Kings Bounty, Silent Storm, and an influence system based on your decisions.
If you like TBS games go for it.

sdanesh: Very Oregon Trail. Many situations you'll find yourself in where there's almost no hope. Good writing. Fairly rough graphics and layout. If it's cheap enough, you might enjoy it.
Thanks! I'll probably go for it on the Christmas sale!

UncleOvid: Lying? On the Internet? I don't believe it.

zlep: LOL. Actually it had never occurred to me that someone would lie about *winning games*. Naive, I know.

Now that I think about it, I can see it - getting attention and provoking dissent can both be appealing for some people.
Sort of makes u wonder how many of those people claiming to have won multiple freebies actually have?
Sadly I missed some games. Any chance somebody got a copy for gift or trade Deus Ex GotY, Chronicles of Riddick, Primordia, Rayman Origins or Monkey Island?

Don't starve is very fun but VERY timeconsuming.

Lesson 2: ^The above is true, and therefore a lie.

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

jjsimp: Perhaps, but trying to decide if something is a zero, an O or an o is a pain in the ass.
Well, if there's only numbers then it must be a 0 :P

Rarehunter_idol: Is The Pit worth grabbing at that price sans the DLC, or should I just hold off for a future sale of the Gold edition?
avatar
nijuu: Less than price of a coffee. neither DLC has been discounted *yet*
Not the price that worried me, haha. I just don't know if any DLC gets discounted on GOG. Thought It might be wiser to just wait for the future gold edition. I can wait!

But I'll probably just grab the Pit anyway. I like these kinds of games.

Xiko91: Whenever I read Keane in here the bald head of Kane from the Command and Conquer series comes to my mind.

CorranHorn: ******Spoiler Alert**********
"Kane Lives"
This was disgustingly awesome when they revealed it. Too bad the gameplay was so much of a departure from the rest of the series. I'd hoped they had learned from the error, but then they rebranded C&C: Generals 2 as Command & Conquer and announced it as a free-to-play. Not sure how I feel about the recent cancellation...except for a sneaking suspicion that I called it...

Thank you too! :D

GOG should totally implement ninja skill stats into user accounts somehow >_>
