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: 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? ;)

CarrionCrow: Not me, I mentioned to the originator that they might as well devise a way to shoot everyone via net connection since by their rules we'd all be dead from alcohol poisoning otherwise.

Actually, it'd only have taken a single page to die from the Keane references alone... I go through periods of hating, tolerating, loving, and back to hating those jokes. I know those feelings vary based on the quality, but I think it also has do with just how squiffy my brain got/gets while camping this damn sale for so long. What exquisite torture it has been. Which is why I've been sitting here the last half hour or more, with no more vested interest that seeing a hint of the dawn after six days of darkness ;)

GabiMoro: 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".
avatar
wackyanne: The English homophone "keen" is to make a high-pitched wail, usually of mourning ;)
Yes it is! I find that quite amusing! :)

Be wary. Said light might only be the flashes of brilliance that tend to come when you strike yourself in the head repeatedly to take your mind off watching Psychonauts not move for eight hours solid.

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.

wackyanne: 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?
All but King's Bounty (which is my prize at the end) and I figured I would grab Psychonauts. It looks like it is not meant to be. Really need to go to bed soon. I ended up with 14 titles. Started with 5 on my list. I think I did just fine.
Time Bandits is one of my childhood favorites.

Only reason Psychonauts stalls is if they dump 2400 copies on us brave few.

GabiMoro: There was a drinking game? Where the hell was I?
I'm sorry, I wish I'd saved it, or that there was a way to easily search the forums for it. It was about 24 hours ago, IIRC.

But even if the only rule had been a shot for every Keane reference, a single page would have killed you. And there was so many other ways to die...
