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

Shadowcat: I believe I gift-purchased the very last copy of Psychonauts / the sale :)
avatar
skirtish: Interesting, so did I. Let's sue for fraud!
Ha. Perhaps there was a grace period built into the sale code, to ensure that no one was refused a purchase, so long as they had submitted their transaction within a specified duration after the would-be final copy was sold.

Did anyone ever have a (non-freebie) purchase denied?

ErekoseDM: exactly

1 code with all 3 games bound to the code.

you use the code, and absorb all the games you dont have to your GOG account.

anything you did have would still be alive and available on the same code for gifting.

(just dont 'gift' first or your going to lose D3)

DrRoxo: Ooooh, it's like that then. Sounds magical :3 Thanks, uprated (again :D)!

(they also might be doing it by different rules just to keane me)
Does anyone have Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, Sacred or Thief 1 ? Just give me a PM :P

CorranHorn: American McGee's Grimm just got released on GoG, American McGee's Alice should be on GoG too=).
Be careful what you wish for, we might end up with... American McGee's Bad Day LA

*shudder*
Reposting again, anyone with spare Thief 3, Theme Hospital, Assassin's Creed or D&D titles besides Planescape and NWN1? I could trade some GOG title I have available or a Steam one for those, let me know!

Faeja_Vu: New this year, alarm clock with built in Keane-Mode!
You don't set a timer but copies, i.e. wake me up in 450 Keanes.

Zojokkeli: Is it finally.. over?

Managed to buy Psychonauts, Jade Empire, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, and the Leisure Suit Larry Classics. All on the final round, yet I constantly felt the need to keep checking what was on sale all the time, and even had a couple of restless nights. All for saving a few bucks. What the hell is wrong with me?

wackyanne: Thanks for this, BlueLemon, and thanks too for posting the list for a long while. I know I payed it forward for hours, and it's helped many a gamer (guy and girl).
Aw, no problem! Been wanting to say it for a while, but the thread was so busy, thought it'd get lost. Think it's a plus to end it that way, and the community has been cool (for the most part). Look forward to more in these threads!! :)

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

truhlik77: 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:)
Late reply, but: Neither am I, should have been evident by the fact I mentioned only having 6 tweets.
All that was needed was read the tweet and then contact me in any way to unlock a clue ;)

Yup, I had a copy of Icewind Dale not go through. Or tell me it went through, but didn't. Fortunately I still had another tab open for it, but had meant to save it to give it away...
everyone with sales trade requests dont forget to leave a post in this thread:

Nah, it should be "Wake me up after 450 Keanes and now and again also tell me that I missed some cool games in the meantime." It's just not the same feeling otherwise.

Comes with build in KeaneGlass (aka: hourglass ;D) to help lull you to sleep!
