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

CarrionCrow: It was kinda funny and almost poetic in a way. Started with the Atlas bear and what happens at the very end? Atlas bear puts in an appearance. It was almost like the forum had brought us all to the end even though it was pushed to the max, and then it rolled over and died for about ten minutes.

GhostwriterDoF: I know I'm not the only one here who took a screenshot of the Atlas bear, (GoG bear?). :D
haha, never thought of that one=).
Anyone has a spare Spellforce Platinum key avail for trade/sell/gift/whatever ? =) Please PM me <3

Schemilix: I'm not trying to police your thoughts, man, I'm telling you to respect other people and their choices and desires. Anyway, you're probably just tired from this sale so you're getting angry at things because you want a 'pleasant civil conversation' your way and your way only right now, that happens, and there's no use repeating myself at you because you're not going to listen, so just... take care I guess.
You do realize that by trying to frame my opposition to imposed PC restrictions on speech as being connected in some way to some systemic male/female oppressor/victim dichotomy, you are indeed trying to "police" me here. You drew a distinct analogy but then want to dismiss my reaction to it as somehow due to me not having understood what you are implying. I found the underlying premise of your comment fairly obvious.

Why tell me to "respect other people and their choices and desires" when you directly negate that premise by refusing to do the same to my "choices and desires"??? I desire pleasant civil conversation, yes. And for the most part I have had it here. You assume anger where there has been none. I am sitting here typing, drinking my tea, enjoying my enlarged GOG library and life itself. Anyone can be well-mannered and civil and still refuse to abide by politically correct demands. Common sense will continue to determine what is a positive personal polite constraint on speech, and what is an oppressive demand to protect perpetual victims who inherently assume systemic oppression and who never can be satisfied.

You take care too.
Laulajatar makes a good point about games just being good. Just make a damn game. Don't skew it for males or females. Skew it for an age market and put things in that human beings in general will enjoy.

Draggon: There's a small gaming community at The Motley Fool that I've frequented for years. I wrote a little memorial recap of this sale in that forum to try to convey some of what happened here over the last few days. It's totally inadequate, but If interested, you can find it here:

I'm gonna miss this thread. Most people hanging around are genuinely friendly even with chronic sleep dep, and seeing different viewpoints on life is always interesting, even when I don't agree.
I'm going to miss how close F5 and I have become....

ROTFLMAO!!!

I used the reload thingy at the top, but its all the same. I think I clicked it more times during this sale then I have ever done so within the last couple years...

It's been fun. I kinda want to say that the thread made the promo, but that's going too far probably. It certainly complemented it well though, I think.
