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

keef0723: Would like to know this too.

zlep: Don't know about Expeditions: Conquistador (intend to buy it when it rolls around) but based on your description you'd almost certainly like King of Dragon Pass. Strategy game quite different in game mechanics to most other "your tribe must survive" games, but great decision making that really affects the way things go. If you didn't get it this sale, keep an eye out for it. Great game!
I actually got that game some time back, but haven't actually played it yet! That's great to hear, I'll have to get around to playing that ASAP. :D

stevieknix: So, who missed what?

ww_gog: Worked thru 4 of the days and missed most of it. Have time tonight thought and its almost over. While I got Eador, and Masters of Orion/Magic, I missed a lot more. Most regrettably Reus and Rogue Legacy. But then again, thats what future sales are for. If you got everything in one shot, future sales would be boring.
True.And holiday sale is right around the corner.Not like we generally don't have enough to play already.

Do it! I spent a few hours on it, it's really challenging. I can't raid. I just cannot fucking raid. It's a hard game, but in a way that you do improve each time.
HA! I decided to install NWN: Diamond the old fashioned way....... OMG the codes....the codes............. D:

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.

Schemilix: I don't get why people don't just turn the gambits off if they dislike the game playing itself. Besides, customising the gambits is part of the gameplay.
If you don't use Gambits, you have to micromanage your whole team. The game just isn't set up to be fun to play like that.
After these next last 4 games we will get a Last Chance Bonus Repeat Round with 1000 copies of Jack Keane 2.
The Keaning is upon us once again! The nonbelievers shall be cast into The Pit until sacrifices are made!

FudoMyo: What will I do with my life once this sale is over?
Play all the games you've just bought :)

In my case saving up to build a new PC, so I can play all the games I've just bought :)
The pit is taking so long I think I'm going to go to work.

I missed Thief 3. You?
So I'm finding a bit of humor in the fact that Steam put "You Don't Know Jack" on promo this week...;-p

See that's what I don't understand. 'The game plays itself!' 'Now I have to play the game!' They repeat the last thing they did anyway. Set it to wait mode and it's basically a turn based game, really.

I just set up basic gambits - attack what the party leader is attacking, curing gambits for the healers, and a gambit for flying enemies. At full speed non-wait, it's hectic enough. Anti-ailment, black magic, Techniks I do myself. For the harder bosses just walking off and leaving the gambits without altering them is a great way to die, too.

I think the gambits just take the tedium out of backtracking.

Yes, do that, the moment you do, it will race by, and the game you have been waiting for will come up and sell out :-P
