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

Minmataro: How many of you guys are actually new to PC gaming? Like you made the jump from this generation console (360,PS3) to PC and now are just discovering the classic on GoG?

I ask because a lot of the questions and "look what i bought" lists are of games that anyone gaming the last 5-10 years probably has or had.

Im not trying to say anything bad just kind of curious.
I am, found out about GOG in June from a Housemate, found out that System Shock 2 was the basis for the Bioshock games, which I've always wanted to play, and bought it.

Now through this sale and the charity bundle the other day, I have amassed about 40 games in my collection, that I can't wait to play once I've got this last year of University work out of the way.

I've been filling in the blanks on my digital collection this sale. A lot of these games I've played or own in physical forms, so it's just library building for me.

TwistedFate: Bear in mind a lot of people may be replacing games they had years ago, not buying them for the first time.
Maybe but i still think quite a few are just new PC gamers. Which is kind of cool actually.

Yup, some games I have got on GoG, I also have on 5 1/4, or 3 1/2 floppy, or scratched up CD, and my current computer does not have any type of floppy drive.

BTCentral: Just giving a little something back to the community, all redeemable on Steam :)
Limit is 1 code per person, so chose wisely if it's something you wanted or not!

Secondly Scribblenauts Unlimited is up for grabs.

To snag this, simply be the first to answer the following:
I howl but you can not see me, what am I?
Wargs in an alternate universe where they kill Bilbo and get the One Ring. Yeah, I know I'm right but actually, I already got that game as part of a Humble Bundle so you can give it to someone else ;)

Deus Ex 1 is great. :D
Lurking in this thread for a while! Very entertaining, while waiting for next game to show up!

After a previous comment, I checked Dungeons of Dredmor and decide to give it a try. I got a Steam key which I'm giving away!

For me I missed some classics like BG&E, saw some sim games I hadn't played before and some rebuys for games messed up or lost over years of moving.

Dinasis: The answer is X, about which I remember little more than a few character names, beating Jecht without using any aeons for no reason other than I could, and it being the first Final Fantasy with full voice acting. Still not sure how I feel about that last bit, but anyhow thank you for the Populous code!

stevieknix: What was the name of the woman you fight? I think she was the first summoner, the daughter of the guy who created Sin.
Yunalesca perhaps?
It's the era of "digital collections".

I think it's more the "oh shit, forgot I use to play this on my PC which broke 5-10 years ago" thing. Which is where I am in a number of the games I bought. GoG if anything is about nostalgic games.
