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

Knofbath: None of the games that use the Classic controller need the motion sensor, so you shouldn't be jumping around like that anyway.

mkess: Can you show me one real gamer, who wants to jump around like an idiot. :D Maybe with one exception. A REAL Star Wars games. Not these Dance fuck-ups.
What? That game is the best party game ever. Add a few cocktails to the mix, and you've got instant (hilarious) success.

GabiMoro: Does anyone know what games are still in the promo?
Should be:

Psychonauts
Spellforce Platinum
Thief 2: Metal Age

Knofbath: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/special_promo_fall_insomnia_promo will always take you to the last page of this topic, so start from there, make your post, and when it jumps you back in time hit the Back button on your browser.

moochorama: It still means you've lost your place in the thread, so you'll have to backtrack if you want to read all new posts, especially at busier times.
I upped my posts per page to 50, so I only need to hop back when the post count gets close to the jump.

zlep: I've been rather impressed by its sales speed. I expected Sword of the Stars: The Pit to sell a good bit faster than Expeditions: Conquistador, but it's been very much the opposite. Clearly I've underestimated the lure of turn-based strategy. ^_^

justanoldgamer: From what I've seen in this sale, the time of the day a game is presented makes a difference on how strong it sells. I'm thinking that different time zones have different gaming tastes.
Ahh! Good hypothesis!

If I thought I could accurately determine which time zones are in awake-but-not-at-work mode, I'd be able to know the turn-based strategy capitals of the world. Since I'm having trouble typing straight, I think that degree of skill in calculation would be unlikely. Maybe another time... After sleep...

rookie1: Like Occulus Rift? I have 2 Mirror Edge in my Origin Account
avatar
mkess: In my oppionion is Occulus Rift THE next big thing in gaming. It has all we wish for.
I think it has a good concept. But I wonder if it won't go like 3d. How many times have they brought 3D glasses out?!!

Here we go. The final 10!!! THIEF 2!!!!!!

I'm surprised we haven't seen a lot of Russians in this thread, this is like prime time for them, and I think they do like strategy games.
Fear
I believe it'll be on steam

I'm not sure what this has to do with gaming, but anyone who doesn't want to jump around like an idiot obviously hasn't tried jumping around like an idiot.

(If there's one reason to envy idiots, it's definitely all the jumping around they get to do.)

Knofbath: It's like a 3 ft cord on mine, just set it next to your legs or in your lap while you play, not that bad.
People can get adjusted to it. I imagine anyone wanting to play Monster Hunter Tri would have to. Still, it's worse than it could be with something like a 360 controller. It's ultimately understandable, though, given the fundamental ideals of the Wii itself.
WHY IS IT MOVING SO SLOW.

Coelocanth: Should be:
Psychonauts
Spellforce Platinum
Thief 2: Metal Age

belaur: Games that should be left to come.
Psychonauts $2.49
Spellforce Platinum $2.49
Thief 2: Metal Age $1.99
Thank you guys! So I missed both Heroes 3 and Jade Empire.
Thief II. Let's see if it sells out faster than the first game in the series!
It's Garrett in The Metal Age x600
