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

CorranHorn: Are everyone aware of the games that are free (as in freeware) on GoG?

stan423321: 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.
So you get them when you create an account now, that´s nice since otherwise people would probably not notice those=).

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
I stopped when you wrote about twitter. I'm not friend with social networks. If this was just to confuse us, you was successful in my case:)

Just bleeding from the eyes, a bit....... XD
Haha, I love how impulse buys almost as a rule usually outrank planned buys :D

Anyway, love GOG and this community :) And Keane. Gotta love Keane.
Might be the case that at least one of the contestants didn't manage to get the second clue to the fourth code snippet, so I'll just say it's out.
The missing bit will come soon

ALH: Anyone ever play Nightmare Creatures on the PC?I played the first game back in the day on the Playstation, thought it was awesome.They even made a sequel, wonder if GOG has ever considered distributing NC1&2.
Yes, I've got that game on CD. First time I've even heard someone mention it sine I finished the game years ago when it came out. ;o)

TheLastAvatar: Sounds like a lot missed out on Thief II, they should do another round of this.
They only had 600 copies in the last round, sold pretty fast.
I have two announcements!

1: Judas PMed me to tell me that GOG has just procured the manual for Entomorph (https://secure.gog.com/game/entomorph_plague_of_the_darkfall). Nice!! The "Games Without Manual" Mix and related discussion thread will be updated in a minute (https://secure.gog.com/mix/gog_games_without_manuals_where_to_find_them).

2. MrTanelorn just surprise gifted me with the one game I missed in the sale (Soul Reaver), so I wanted to say a public "Thank You!" to him. What an amazing weekend this has been, and it's not the games that are the reason why; it's the people.

Thanks, MrTanelorn. :) And thanks to all of you; the conversation and experience has been pretty incredible.
