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

miszczu: Weird, Cognition just showed up in my Games list, and I've never bought it.
Maybe it's a freebie that you thought you missed?

gixgox: Well, before this party comes to an end it's time to say thanks to this great community and of course to GOG.com and all the developers who participated in this sale.
I was lurking in the background all the time (nearly) without posting anything. I was on GOG sometime before the show begun and kept my eyes and purse open until the infamous Jack K. lulled me to sleep.
The first round was exciting and also cruel. The List wasn't set up, you never knew what would be on offer.
I hoped to snatch a few of those classics all true gamers are speaking of but which I never played when they were new. And I wanted some new Indies for a small price.
May I dare to confess that I was hoping to get a game called Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within?
What a disappointment when I saw the price. Though I am an adventurous point and clicker the price tag was a bit too high for me. Especially as the game didn't receive rave reviews in the time before Keane (B.K.) - the reviews after Keane (A.K.) signal a turning point in history.

Memories....
Let this lurker again say thank you to all the party guests for lots of fun, their generosity, and the enlightenment (not only about good old games).
It was nice to see, that the unavoidable few trolls weren't fed and couldn't spoil the party.

Now it's time to play my new games and to prepare one or the other GA.
Oh, not to forget, I actually got 2 freebies, both for the same game and of course a game I already owned.
if its is A.K. So it is like new age now? how should we call it?

KMJX: It appears 2 people found the clue, but one is to tired to get it.
That's what you get for not sleeping for 95 hours straight
Just to mention again you are quizzing away NWN 1
avatar
CorranHorn: Are everyone aware of the games that are free (as in freeware) on GoG?
There are four games which I think you get on the shelf by registering, and then there's the Warsow which you need to claim ("buy for free") for some reason and is an open source thing.

MGShogun: Barbaric digital sale known to the mankind.

I wonder if Steam would replicate this sale? Highly doubtful. The kids on Steam lacks stamina and patience like us. :P
As of recently, I'm sure a thread like this wouldn't of been allowed either. XD

truhlik77: It's really sad. I enjoyed it very. But i beleive in GOG, that they prepared for us some surprise at the really end.
I suspect not.

Oh I saw the clue alright. I already have NWN 1 though. :D
Pro-tip: try to reply to everything KMX says - this way you can spot emphasis quite easily. ;-D
I'm either too sensitive or not enough to find the last chunks. I can't tell if I'm over analyzing typos or what. @__@

Cool, It might be it.
