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

Buenro-games: 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
I "was" done after Icewind Dale. Just picked up Conquistador and seriously considering Thief II. Don't have the others. Just think I need to diversify my collection of mostly rpgs/strategy/turned based games.

smoother: okay, thanks. I thought for a moment, I missed it.

rookie1: I just added up the invoices and it looks like I got 25 games. OUCH!!! How do I explain this to the wife?

Kaitu: Same boat my friend. Let me know if you figure THAT one out. :-p
But I bought them for YOU darling!!!
is this game worth going over a budget? -.-

undeadcow: My download of Expeditions is going very slow, must be all the traffic on the site... don't your people ever go to bed?
Because of this sale, I can't sleep longer than 2 hours without waking up! Also if it is on GOG's end, i think most folks are using the downloader and have everything queue'd.

What do you mean you don't play computer games? Since when??? Well... Guess I'll just have to play them then. :-)
Hey, I missed RCT3 a while back, and it's pretty much the only game I didn't manage to pick up on this sale that I wanted at the beginning. Would anybody be willing to help me out?

Metacritic reviews suggest Expedition is not without it's charms but has only about 10-15 hours of gameplay and parts of it feel unpolished. It looks atmospheric and unique, but what I've read suggests Expeditions isn't worth breaking the bank over. It will be on sale again.

too much for me (coming from somebody who overspent already). There is something about the under $3 price point that is easy to impulse on...but not $5.

Maybe add up the retail price so you can show her how much you saved. Worked for me. :) The lady loves a good bargain. I asked her what she would do if it was shoes or bras being sold with these discounts.

I already dealt with my wife aggro.

I just added up the cost of the games if they werent on sale.

"Baby, I paid the price of one new game and got 27, i saved over 150 dollars!!!"

She was happy.

Of course she had a smart comment as she walked away.

"27 games... What about the 400 on steam you've yet to install"

Ahhh... i love marriage.
