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: 6 syllables on that last line.
Yes, I suddenly realised that after posting :)

moochorama: 4 days. The third round started somewhere before the 10k post. I have spent way too much time on this...

AndyDivine79: He is right. I remember creeping towards 10000. I came in at the start of the third round.
I think someone was saying the 10000 post would win a prize.
She. :) I came back to the third roung when RoT was still on, not sure how long it had been up then, but I'm pretty sure that was on Friday morning.

thepatt: I'm hoping the "keaning" (and derivatives) enter regular usage in the 'real' world.

keane - verb.

1. to take way, way way longer to finish than expected.

2. to be momentarily unpopular.
Could be used as a noun too: "Man, this was such a keane". Funny thing, the word "keane" is pronunced exactly as the romanian word "chin", which means "torment, pain , agony".

Infin8ty: Is there supposed to be something special at the end of the sale or does it just end? I may go to bed soon so I don't miss class again tomorrow.

stevieknix: He was promoted to captain over the course of the series. I think Kira Nerys actually became a commander.

howardc007: Kira Nerys was promoted to Colonel from Major, as she was with the Bajoran forces.
Well he was commander at the beginning of the show XD I didn't watch all of DS-9 actually, got kinda...... weird later on in the series :P I think I enjoyed the apparent travesty of Voyager over DS-9.

IanM: If GOG ever has this type of promo again, it should be more gruelling than this one - at least seven full days, and the freebies + extra deals should pop up at random times alongside whichever game is currently on the countdown, no prediction of when they might appear. That way people will really have to stay awake and alert.
My suggestion was to have each freebie show up for 5-10 seconds with a fixed number available. After the window, they randomly distribute to those who entered. Those who don't win get an extra "entry" in the next freebie they try for. That way, if you miss one, you have a better shot at the next one. Once you finally get one, your entries reset to one and you start over.

howardc007: I'm going to wait until the end of the credits, maybe there's something after the last game is sold. Who's with me?

zillatain: I'm going to try. But in 7 hours I need to go to work.
