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

Spellforce is mystery meat to me, I bought a copy for no good reason already though.

Dont talk badly. Such a great part of my youth. The game is awesome. >.<
*Fanboy mod*

No srsly it's probably the best mix of RTS and RPG with great balancing, Story, World etc. I have ever seen.

nicode: I did a clean install in a Wine prefix: The setup does not install SecuROM and the SpellForce.exe ist not protected with SecuROM.

But there is an ar.exe left in the SpellForce installation (back from the days where the game was protected). Do not run this executable (it installs the SecuROM runtime). Just delete it if you want to be sure.
I see, while I'll probably won't mess with anything in the files if I do buy it (still thinking about it), that's actually good to know. Thank you.
Looks like there is still a chance to hit 40,000 posts before the last game is sold out!

The_Blog: Anybody got like any Leftovers from the Sale for gifting or trading? I missed allot I really wanted to buy :/
Not a lot, but I managed to stow away a few.What are you looking for?
Aw, man! I had a dream that there was a freebie, and I missed it, and then immediately there was another freebie with 1200 copies of IWD and I finally got one. Then I woke up and stumbled over to the computer (because, half-asleep, this seemed like the right thing to do) and found that it was just a dream and the only games I have are ones I paid for, haha.

I'm going back to bed. It's 2:30 am. This sale has fully penetrated my subconscious.
God bless Spellforce... I was away from a PC for the last 2 hours and expected the sale to be finished by then but as I see, the (spell)force is strong with this one.

Note: please, blame this one on the lack of sleep.
Promo is fizzling out. Wish they had kept one of the quick sellers to the end.
Good bye Thief 2, I will never complete this saga. :(
So I take it no one has an extra Thief 2 they can sell me? :(
Screw it. I'm going to bed. I don't want to miss class tomorrow (although I probably still will....). Sigh, I really want to know if there's something special at the end of the sale.... It hurts, IT HURTS!!!!!!

Although it'll not be quite the same as standing in front of the PC waiting for "THE END", we'll keep you posted in the forum if anything special happens.
Spellforce seems to be going slowly, so let me share a couple words about it:

If I didn't own it already both in disc and gog version, it would be a definite buy.

I remember salivating over the previews in game magazines back in the day, and bought it as soon as I could afford it.
I even ran into the game's biggest flaw: it was way to ressource-heavy, and almost unplayable on the first machine I installed it on, and it was actually quite nice for specs back then. (at least I didn't have the compatibility issues lamented by many other people).

Needless to say, when I got to play it on a more recent machine it worked fine (and with a DRM free gog version).
It's definitely not flawlless, but its not a buy you would regeret at that price, in my opinion
