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

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!

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 ;)
The endless ocean!

Why do I think I've heard something like this in a movie?

JoseWisemang: I have the game already but.. since he said doughnut I'd have to guess something similar such as a
Ring?

BTCentral: That is indeed the answer I was looking for! Well done.
Check your PM in a minute :)
Hey, that's not fair! Some guy a while ago replied with "A moebius strip", and it would have been just an acceptable answer.

Though, I guess if you didn't accept "doughnut" either you were looking for a specific answer and not just a valid one.

Khalaq: Very poetic.

BTCentral: Haha, needed to change the post quickly as someone had actually given the answer I was looking for.
the more I think about it the less sense your riddle has. If a ring doesn't have a middle, than neither does a sphere. so any hollow ball would fit the answer. in fact, any hollow cube as well. just doesn't make sense. :p
cant think right anymore

HunterZ: GOG have mercy and put Thief 2 up next! I have to go to bed in around 2 1/2 hours.
SOMEONE doesn't understand what it means to be the, "insomnia," sale ;)
Hey, Icewind Dale II was not on sale, or was it?

He wanted us to guess what he had in his pocketses.

howardc007: Good job!
Not to pick a fight, but as someone has already said, an argument could be made that a ring has a beginning, middle, and end. Of course, this all gets thrown out the window when you specify the ring to be conceptual rather than manifest.

1322: What?! You didn't buy Jack Keane 2?! :p

Glad you found some games of interest. All the ones I've seen come up that I would have bought were ones I already had. Though I've been seriously thinking about Alpha Centauri... Now if I can only catch it while if it comes back...
No...but i was there through those dark dark times of JK 2 and RCR... I was waking up in the middle of the night checking were they finished. Ive never been addicted to something so much, im pretty sure if GOG continued this indefinitely id look like this:

JoseWisemang: You may reward the original person you picked as I already have Arkham City (good game, I do recommend)
Just wanted to be apart of the fun :D
Oh, okay! I'd already PM'd you but if you have it thanks for the answering anyway!

In that case howardc007 gets it with "A Mobius Strip" as though it was not the answer I was looking for, it was indeed a correct answer that I had not thought of!

smoother: Hey, Icewind Dale II was not on sale, or was it?
nope, not during insomnia sale.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
as this all winds down and I won't let my Thief 2 efforts go to waste, I realize it was not worth it. sigh, just seeing this through due to inertia but should have waited for the xmas sale. that's my final verdict

Kaitu: Same here. We had one of the old Ataris with the keyboard on it. Only game was Popeye. Got an NES when it was released and played it into the ground (while also giving Oregon Trail and Montezuma's Revenge a go on the Apple IIe). Distinctly remember our first PC (40MHz, I think 16Mb of RAM, 2400 baud modem). It was BEAUTIFUL! Even distracted me for a few years after the SNES came out. I STILL go back and play Mega Man X-X4, Super Metroid and Link to the Past (some of the best console games I have played to this day). Have built every PC I have ever laid hands on since. My wife keeps telling me to transition to a laptop but I don't think that will ever happen as long as there are desktop components available to buy.

AndyDivine79: Montezuma's Revenge was a favorite of mine.
Oh man I forgot all about that game, a classic. I could never get very far in it but boy did I try. I never owned it I had to rely on when my brother would borrow a friend's PC.
