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

CharlesGrey: Hah Hah, sorry -- I saw it after I made my post.

So, three more games? Sounds like nothing much has happened since I last checked the sale. I think I left during... was it Sword of the Stars: The Pit? Did the current one pop up right after that?
Yeah, this one popped on right after SotS.
225. Keanes Pit is back

stevieknix: I think that's an Australian thing, using 'aggro' to mean angry.

Minmataro: I dont know about Australia but i picked it up from playing EQ, DAoC and then WoW. Means to gain the attention of a monster in a game world.
Definitely used here in Australia.
Currently at 42 games if I don't include Divine Divinity, just waiting on Thief 2 and then I'm done. There were so many classic games under $2 which made them impulse purchases for me.

Wow! 42 during this sale? That is impressive.

stevieknix: Yes, I assume it is short for 'aggravate'.
But it is also slang for angry or mad.

DeMignon: It's even used this way in German, too.
Thats pretty cool, i had no idea it was use as slang in the real world. THought it was only a mmo term.

AndyDivine79: Can you use a controller on Thief II? I have never been good at fps games on a keyboard.
Thief is not so much about combat, this is mostly about Stealth and doesn´t need fast mouse movement. The challenge lies in using your brain. I don´t know if it supports a controller but I think it does.

Edit: Otherwise there are programs that let you use a controller for games. I used one to play Unreal Tournament 2004 and it worked really good.

I've only played the third one, but I wouldn't call these games FPS in the traditional sense. They're fairly slow-paced and tactical. KB & mouse probably works best for this.

Thanks. I think I will give it a shot.

Um, why aren't you including Divine Divinity? If you're thinking of passing it up, when it's only $1.49... Just don't. You won't respect yourself in the morning.
Hope this hasn't been posted yet, but holy shit the number of posts in this thread!

JustSayin: I love that you didn't say she was mad, but 'aggro'. Those damn video games. ;)

Germans use that term sometimes "I am so aggro right now" (=I am really pissed of right now.).

You might be better off trying Thief 3 then, as it was made with consoles in mind. Thief II might work, but it has quite a lot of keybinds and finding the optimal ones to fit on a controller might be tricky.
