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

Ah man, I don't want to think about Keane. X.X

100 copies in 5 hours? Too barbaric, man.

Crappynuker1: Morning, I think I really did miss thief 2.
Does someone have a spare key for purchase?
I want one too so badly deedlydo!

kklsid: 180 left!
Just enough time to marry and raise some kids.
That's good!
And then come back to see the end of the sale and buy Psychonauts for the kids. :-)
Guys, since I slept through Thief 2 after waiting so long for it and that was the last game I was waiting for I would like to try one last trade before I part ways with this sale.

Does anyone have a spare copy of La Mulana? I can offer you only Jade Empire since I gave away everything else I had. Also I can get you the current Spellforce or the upcoming Psychonauts, or just reimburse you via PayPal.
Revising my list of future purchases, and adding two for every one I've cleared. Might as well see if GOG will take blood or organs as currency.
I clearly didn't have enough sleep last night. I woke up and Spellforce is now for sale. So I bought it (mainly because my copy doesn't have the expansions mind).

Seriously though, if you're considering it, get it. It's fantasy RTS with a storyline. Not the best game out there but one that's still capable of providing many many hours of fun on it's own before you even get to the expansions :)

For $2.49 this is more than worth it for the main game alone, and the platinum edition comes with both The Breath of Winter AND Shadow of the Phoenix expansions. So effectively 3 games for the price of 1.

+1

This is one of the most quietly stated, yet brilliant responses to a slowdown.


However, as this is _not_ Keane, the countdown is actually _counting down_.

Good idea to think about gifting your future kids a copy of spellforce :)

Uzur9: Speaking of Mass Effect... Anyone play all the ME3 story DLC?
I only bought the day 1 prothen one. I saw no reason to buy the others since the ending was so final.
Goodnight all. What are chances this sale is not over when I get up in 6 hours? :)

*is now watching the gameplay video on youtube*
Why am I here? I need sleep, and already have spellforce and psychonauts.

GabiMoro: There was a drinking game? Where the hell was I?

wackyanne: 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...
Haha, Knofbath found the drinking game rules and posted them. You guys are crazy!
Thaks to a huge number of copies of The pit I missed Thief 2.
