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

wackyanne: Well, that seems quite a moderated response to a post where I think I come off sounding like a bit of an asshole. If that was the case, my deepest apologies. I had not dared to fear that the sale would still be going at 3am on early Tuesday morning, more than six days after it began.

I salute you! my brothers and sisters in keane...

AndyDivine79: It is a quote from Time Bandits. I was just being silly. Referring to why I am still here waiting for some sort of grand prize at the end. You did not sound like an asshole to me. No worries.
Thank you, kind sir. I have not watched that gem in YEARS, and now you have awakened a desire to see it again! A delightful time-warping weirdness akin to the bizarre sensation we've all been experiencing over these marathon days.

I hope you managed to snag most of your must-have list? Or, if not, I hope the community made up for it?

zillatain: Anyway, I honestly think it is going to just end after Psychonauts without any fanfare or even a word from them.
That's the way is going to happen.

You haven't seen all the spam I clear out of my inbox every day. My fault for using a generic email address, people sign me up for all sorts of dumb stuff.

xy2345: Maybe we get the Mass Effect Trilogy for a split second. ;-)
DRM free ME trilogy? Do want. :D

zillatain: I think it would be a nice "thank you" from GOG to have maybe 600 free copies of The Witcher 2 at the very end. And no, it's not because I missed it... Nope.

Anyway, I honestly think it is going to just end after Psychonauts without any fanfare or even a word from them.
Perhaps someone will link the obligatory music video of The Doors when that happens.

I think I'm going to try to catch a bit of sleep before Spellforce sells out. We'll see how that works out.
Dear brothers and sisters, while I do wish to keep on sharing the bountiful blessings of our Lord Keane with you all, "Spellforce" is a title that has piqued my interest for quite some time. However, since it is infamous for it's DRM, I must humbly ask, has the GoG version been properly Keaned of the horrible blasphemy known as SecuROM? I don't mean merely deactivated, but actually gone. Thanks in advance and may the Keane be with you... always.
Oh my god.. We are still on the road... Sale. Sale never changes.. :)
yep, I'm calling it quits.. been fun gents and that one lady.

If I found the infection known as SecuROM anywhere in my files from GoG, I'm sure you would have heard the screaming.

xy2345: Oh. What a surpirse. Thanks to Keaneforce Platinum the sale is still going. When I went to bed 8 hours ago we only had 4 games left, so I thought the whole thing would be finished by now. Do you think you could stall it for another 11 hours till I come home from work again? I imagine turning Psychonauts into Keanonauts would be quite a feat.

CarrionCrow: For all this to end, you have to depend on there being people waiting with bated breath to buy Psychonauts for, what, a dollar fifty less than what they could have gotten at any point in time during the weekend, without having to engage in a campaign of utterly unhinged exercises in delayed gratification. And there will need to be HUNDREDS of those people. This may very well never end.

Edit - And the truly sad thing is that, as I posted that, I heard a tiny voice in my brain say, "Maybe so, but we're still going to ride this bitch all the way down." Need to take up drinking as soon as possible, I think.
And am I not mistaken, were you not the one who invented the drinking game for the insomnia sale? and then added that you were tee-totalling? ;)

MGShogun: How many games left to go? X.X
One. Psychonauts.
Speaking of Mass Effect... Anyone play all the ME3 story DLC?
