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 console generation (360,PS3) to PC and now are just discovering the classics 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.

moochorama: Not new either, pretty much started when I was about 12 (which was 23 years ago) and really got into adventures via Monkey Island. But I'm an on and off gamer, sometimes other obsessions take over, and sometimes I go back to playing games with a vengeance. I haven't always had money to spend on games, and normal game prices keep me from buying new ones, so I'm something of a serial backlister :P

Speaking of which: Is Bastion only available via platforms? II was catching up with posts and someone mentioned it again - some time during this third round (2 days ago? 3?) someone else mentioned it too and said that ladies love it. It looks nice and I'm getting more and more curious! But I'm not on Steam.
From the SuperGiant Games website:
Download Bastion today from Steam! SteamPlay-enabled so you get Linux, Mac, & PC. Also on GamersGate, Origin, Green Man Gaming, Impulse, OnLive, the Mac App Store, and the Ubuntu Software Center.

Minmataro: Thats awesome. I love reading about people gaming origins.

i feel old but im not actually that old (mid-30s), so my gaming started on the Atari, i dabbled a bit with the old c64 before getting swallowed whole by the NES and SNES.

Then Doom 2 released and it was game over. PC has been my primary gaming platform even though i owned every console from that point on.

Im sure many of you have been gaming much longer than me lol.

Im here on GoG basically replacing a lot of my old physical games that i lost over the years and discovering games i may have passed on in the early late 90s due to an unhealthy Ultima Online and then diablo 2 addiction.
I remember playing Doom and Doom 2 on my cousin's computer, then getting Doom for SNES and being thoroughly disappointed xd

WillOfD: LOL. I was patiently waiting for this key when suddenly I have to read an important email.
Is Warriors of the North as good as the previous two games? I cant decide if I should pick it up or not, I haven't seen much coverage on it. No ones even made a wikipedia page about it.

Thruggsen: If they're anything like me they have most of these games on disc in boxes on their bookshelf and are paying $2 to not have to get up and walk across the room and open a box to play them :)

That bites that you lost your CD keys.

But, "yay" @ No DRM in GOG digital versions. :D

jackster79: Before 97, it was NES, SNES, & GB (with the occasional Genesis and Sega CD).

Started gaming regularly on the PC in 97, as that is when I got my first pc ever. However, even before then I got some mags that reviewed console games and had pc games and advertisements in them, so I was exposed to some of what was there. I still remember seeing the Gabriel Knight 1 PREVIEW (little more than a single column excerpt with a couple of screenshots) and thinking: "This is awesome - I need to get this one day!". Then, when I got my PC a few years later I was fortunate enough to get not long after the bundle of GK 1 & 2.

My first ever PC games that I bought specifically to play on said PC? 7th Guest / 11th Hour bundle and Imperium Galactica (man did that box label make the game sound so awesome!?!).
My first PC was a C64. I remember figuring out the password to my Dads copy of Strip Poker. I was sure the computer cheated on that game. Hard to believe those little dots could..... hehe The first "real" PC I owned was a Sony Viao that cost me 3600.00. I was an idiot at the time. Just had gotten some inheritance. Paid way too much. The first game I bought, that I still have, was Bladerunner. I would like to play it again but I don't think I have the patients to get it running on this laptop.

Sounds interesting but I'm mainly looking for the GOG Version.
Suggestion: if you haven't played the original rogue, try it. It's one of the best for a reason, and it's free, google it for online sites to play. It takes a little time to learn how to play it, no modern arrow key easy interface.
