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

istudedinre: I have to admit... this promotion started out fun, but now the excitement has completely drained from the experience for me. It's the same 20 or so promotions being recycled over and over. I was expecting 101 different games to be featured, but I suppose that would have been less fair across the board.
What are you talking about? I haven't seen a single game repeat itself (except for a game that was - for a brief period of time - offered for free). And I've seen dozens of games already.
As much as I adore the idea of this sale, and the implementation of it. Really I do. This is just painful for someone who's location limits them to a highly unstable connection with a speed that rarely peaks into dile-up territory. Completely missed out on Thief 2 cause I simply couldn't get through the transaction fast enough. As for a chance at one of those free games? In the negatives! Te-hee.

Ah well, I really can't complain; with the amazing offers GOG offers on a weekly basis, it'd be selfish too.
Almost theeeeere....

vulchor: I really don't agree with you here. Then again I don't know your financial situation. However, I must say that Dragon Commander is a very polished and in depth game worth the full price. I wish I would have bought it for $22.50 because it really is a steal for that price. Just my opinion, mind you, but I felt like someone needed to say it. I hope you do pick it up sometime though, it's hard for me to imagine anyone not enjoying it.

mkess: I do not like the games of this developer at all. The third game crashed in the tutorial, nothing helped. I gave it back, and will never ever buy again from them. I think, divine divinty, the first game was a load of crap, too. Cheap diablo clone with very bad controls.
Well, we disagree. I own Dragon Commander already but haven't played it yet, but enjoyed the original Divine Divinity quite a bit, and it wasn't at all like Diablo. It was more classing RPG.

Dragnerok_X: Did a search and looks like Deus GOTY made it to the sale after all ($2), waiting for that.

No sight of Unreal Tourney 99/2k4?
Dosent seem like it.Only a fraction of the GOG catalogue is on this sale .

I'm 19 hours into the game and I'm loving it.

I've been here 6 hours, almost every game has repeated.

Don't know that one. Looks nice. But Y3,400 is a bit much for me right now.

You guys are nuts. But the people from other time zones than us Europeans have it good now :(
Did someone make a list of the games being offered? I'd better not know, though, would only make me curse myself for going to sleep :P

Have fun, you insomniacs :D

7:30 pm, but latency not my friend D=
The original Divine Divinity was a lot of fun. Good humour, and exploration and side quests were pretty interesting. Nice music and atmosphere as well.

The final part of the game was a mind numbing hackfest like diablo, though.

WMDMaster: Bet these freebies are from the same bakery as the cake in Portal... The bar is at 38, yet the offer has expired in 0.1 second it took to click!
avatar
jorlin: No, they do exist, I have already gifted one. I did get many more bears and messages about expiration though. Well, can't win them all...
Guess there is some random lottery element when many click at the same time. Better than bots at least but the bears and expiration messages are sure getting old!
