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: The gameplay reminds me of Minecraft (only seen others play on Youtube) and Terraria (really a MP game but I have lost many hours playing it). Terraria is another game that needs to be on GoG, the Steam version is (afaik) free of DRM.

Kaitu: Which one? Don't Starve or Defender's Quest? (Forum consolidated my replies.)

I think Don't Starve is what would happen if Tim Burton took over the Animal Crossing franchise. :-)
Dont´t Starve, I like the graphics, it´s so Klei (Shank 1-2, Mark Of The Ninja) and I´m a sucker for games that are challenging, they are just so more rewarding then those that aren´t and Don´t Starve seems to be quite the challenge=).

ClaudioAGS: Is psychonauts already gone? (LOL)
Yeah, you missed it. They had 300 up for free in the final round+ as well!

DavidMaletz: So, what happened at the end of the sale? Anything special, or was it just over? I was up for the second to last game, but there was nothing else I wanted and didn't feel like staying up to see the end. Did I miss anything?

Kaitu: Psychonauts ran out and a banner faded in to announce the end of the sale. When you refreshed the home page was back to normal. Nothing too exciting.
thats a bit sad....
So was there any big surprise at the end?

Jack Keane's girlfriend jumped out of a cake and did a strip dance while all of the GOG staff stood in the background blowing kazoos and celebrating.
Hi all , fell asleep , who's got the list ? ( Just joking...:)

If any of the linux friends are still hanging around here is a link you may not have seen yet, and would be interested in looking into if you already are not playing your new games.

I guess we got some points in humility there. ;-)
It's fantastic that although sale is over that thread is still alive. Good gogers, good :)

LOL! I'm sure these guys have something up their sleeves for us faithful. We'll see. :-)

Even if not, this sale was worth it for the sheer entertainment value of this forum.
