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

redeem4: I'm not 100% sure how this works, but at the end are they having some of the deals out again, so everybody can get them?
I think I would have a heart attack is this happened

redeem4: Argh, does anybody know if Icewind Dale complete will come around in the sale again? I'm not 100% sure how this works, but at the end are they having some of the deals out again, so everybody can get them?

Also what's with all the current games on sale...I want some good old games!...so many old games I never got to play since I wasn't born then and I gotta get me some more.
There has been three full rounds already and lots of games have started to slow down. Suspect this maybe it unless there is a small surprise right at the end
What is this game? Like Kings Bounty?
Looks like there's only a few games left. Just figured I'd throw a post in here. been ghosting this forum for the past few days while obsessively checking GOG while at school and work to see what the current game was and see if I could nab one of those split-second freebies.
What will we all obsess over once this sale is done?

MysterD: Oh, yeah - X-Men Arcade was good, back in the day.
I also remember TMNT and Simpsons arcade beat 'em ups, as well.

And of course, DOUBLE DRAGON! Back in the day, I loved to use that elbow move, hehe.

jackster79: I was so happy when TMNT's arcade game made it to the SNES as TMNT4. That meant I could work on it without quarters! :-)

The Simpson's one though - that one always surprised me in that it was never ported to any of the systems AFAIK, and I was majorly disappointed about that. Would like to play that one again on the PC.
They actually have a pretty good port of the Simpsons Arcade Game on iOS from Capcom. Only thing that pisses me off is they changed the plot. The cabinet was about Maggie getting kidnapped because she had a huge diamond. The plot has something to do with a doughnut with some evil plan on it. Regardless, it is a pretty darn good port.
Wow Expeditions: Conquistador is FLYING off the digital shelves! Relative to Sword of the Stars anywho...

You've missed it on it's last round I'm afraid. Sorry man.

justanoldgamer: Wow, the forum didn't even stumble. I believe there are a lot less people following the sale now.
It's really just the transitions where there is a quick freebie in between that bombs the forum. I suspect that it is because of the sudden influx of thousands of simultaneous human page requests, and arguably some arbitrary number of robot ones too.
What is Expeditions: Conqueror ??? Is it any good?

BananaJane: Why can't gog have NES games?
I'd own ALL OF THEM

MysterD: When's GOG going to get Dragon Warrior series?
Dragon Quest? I'm still waiting on all the Mega Man games! Where's my MM2?

Knofbath: So, now a question for the ages. How the hell did I get bit by a mosquito in November...
Well, you see, when a Daddy mosquito and a Mommy mosquito love each other very much,...

Buy a copy, buy a copy for your friends, buy one for that relative you hate.

I have no idea! Will life still have meaning? o_o

i guess we *could* start playing the staggering number of games we bought...
Great deal on Expeditions: Conquistador, but since it also has a Linux version my purchase will be through one of the several sellers that support all three platforms.
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!

Final give-away! This time for Batman: Arkham City GOTY.

To snag this, simply be the first to answer the following:
What physical thing has no beginning, end, or middle?

Note: The answer I am looking for is not a doughnut (that's too easy!), but something else.
Yes, this is definitely the hardest question of the bunch ;)
