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

Derwisch: Yeah I know.. the time of the good Square Games ( Chrono Cross, Bushido Blade, Tobal 2, FF VII, Brave Fencer Musashi, Einhänder, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics ) was the PS One ( and of course the Games on SNES )
everything after that was Soulless in my opinion !

Knofbath: FFX wasn't bad, or FFXII for that matter. 10's storyline had an annoying MC, but the battle system was interesting. XII I didn't care as much for the Gambit system, I could roll through battles on autopilot most of the time.
I think that was the whole point, make the game more accessible for the more casual gamer. Problem is it then starts to alienate the older fans. That's why I disliked XIII so much, I mean where was the story? The massive playable world? What you actually got was a short story that made Modern Warfare look like an epic in comparison and then instead of a massive open world you got several versions of the same mid sized sandbox.

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?

Khalaq: Give it to whomever has the saddest story about missing the sale?
I dont need NWN but I missed Icewind Dale because I had to take my grandma to the hospital. She is OK.

keef0723: Would like to know this too.

Craig234: I haven't played it very long, a couple hours. Most people seem to enjoy it more than I did.

I think what it's like is basically, you pick a party with certain skills, each of which helps with various random events that happen while they travel a map.

You can buy a few things - weapons, supplies - and then move around the map on quests, with those events that deplete your supplies. As you run out, you can't win a battle, you can't feed your group, they revolt and leave.

It has a Heroes of Might and Magic type feel in ways, especially the battles.

I found it a bit hard, and just not that much fun, you know when there's a game design that says 'hey people love this and that in Heroes, so they'll love it here'. So I'd say it's worth a try, especially on this sale price, but not great.
Thanks for that. Will skip.
Happy 33k posts, one and all!

Alien8n: End of the day the biggest success for me has been this form though. On the whole everyone's been a great bunch and I've seen a lot of guys helping other guys out, there's been some light hearted banter (some at Gog's expense), and in all it's certainly made the weekend a memorable and enjoyable one :)
Yeah, well, GOG is a company that's running a sale until they run out of stock in... *digital* games. Last year they ran the biggest promo I've ever seen on the last day of the Mayan calendar so everyone could have a last hurrah before the world ended. I think they can handle a few jokes at their expense. :-D
If Sword continues Keaning like this we'll hit 50k soon enough!!!:D
So, who missed what?

DrRoxo: NOOOOOOOO!!!
Three days of waiting, three nights of patiently refreshing and not sleeping and I fall asleep right before Jade Empire :'( Is this hell? ;_;

dsross: I can't believe I did that same thing! I fell asleep during Legacy of Kain. It wasn't right after that was it? That would annoy me since I was going to wait and see what came next before officially giving up. I missed Deus Ex the same way and I'd better not miss Thief 2 the same way.

...Someone said Jade is on sale at Steam so I'll buy it there.
Aw man, I'd gift you a copy if I had one :/ I feel your pain.
Anybody got a copy of Deus Ex still around for gifting or trading? Sadly missed that one. Wnated to play it for quite some time now.
OK.

Shower, then ride,(it's 27deg C here) will take 2 hours. Hopefully I'm safe and do not miss out on Thief 2.

Wish me luck

Give it to the person who provides you with the best movie one-liner that explains why the person should get the code.

Kennethor: Don't starve is very fun but VERY timeconsuming.

gogbot: Got it for my son, but it looks interesting. I'll bump it to the top of my list.
I got it just for the heck of it, and almost lost my life to it.
It's dangerously fun.
