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

Oofles: The U was an easy one. But there are also typos that anyone will spellcheck running should have caught.

Faeja_Vu: I wouldn't want to see the forums for that sale... I couldn't imagine it being anything like this awesome place.

CarrionCrow: Let them keep the "AAA"'s, the DRM, the chest-high walls, the identical soulless FPS's, and the delusion that anything that came out before 2010 is worthy of pimply-faced half-witted contempt. Fuck them, they are neither needed nor wanted. Less people with better standards beats a mass of worthless drones any and every day of the week.
Well said. :D

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.
avatar
justanoldgamer: There are more than that, if you browse games and filter by price=free then you get a dozen games.
Yes, still am tired it seems or otherwise I would have known that too=).

Just looked, 12 games in total are free on GoG.

DrRoxo: 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.
Or how about freebies turning out to be fantastic discoveries? I finally played Torchlight to pass the time this sale, and I LOVE IT! Coincidentally my man just put a Windows partition on my Mac desktop so I could play Diablo 1, and Torchlight's been scratching that itch on my MacBook just fine ;)

However, that partition will come in useful with the slew of D&D games I picked up...

You will love Torchlight II. Much better than the original, especially if you download the Synergy Mod

TheLastAvatar: Sounds like a lot missed out on Thief II, they should do another round of this.
avatar
CorranHorn: They only had 600 copies in the last round, sold pretty fast.
The Entire Sale i had alway one eye on the screen.
Never spotted Thief 2. At the Last chance round i got very less sleep.
but guess at which point i got overwhelmed ... 50 copies away from thief 2...

*snaps his fingers in quick succession next to your right ear, then the left ear, then the right again*
Follow my finger.
*erratically moves his forefinger through the room*
*claps into his hands hard behind your head*
Uh huh...
*notes something down, very seriously*
..yes, this person is confused.

Well, indeed. Interesting change. I guess that some people wouldn't give up GOG pushing awesomeness known as Tyrian onto their shelves.

These are the same people that pay 25 bucks for bastardized rehashed versions of Baldur's Gate saga and feel good about it. Not sure what to think...

Totally agree about TL2 being much better but they certainly screwed things with the 10mod limit (totally uncalled for) and internet multiplayer is very unstable (from my experience)

Just in case you missed it, I will give the last tidbit of information out when the next person finds the original hint to the last snippet

On an unrelated note, did you know I have a youtube channel too? nothing to see there, there is only one private video with an obsolete little show from a game that changes way to radically with every update
