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

cjc7: Really, This has been , to me, a especially remarkable event. And I see that's it is not only me saying this, which makes all the better. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of it and here with everyone. Truthfully GOG'ers are the BEST !
Agreed. Great cross section of old school gamers (the best kind of gamers IMHO). Like I said before, we were gamers and geeks before it became "cool". :-)

Schemilix: My friend who's watched me suffer listened to me comment on how the sale was pretty fun to 'endure', and how the forum guys are pretty cool:

"You find friends through struggle, and hardship."

Pfft!
What's that saying? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger?

I'm thinking I didn't get that quite right. :P

Stilton: Somebody else has probably already said this, but wouldn't it be great to get us all together to have one huge gaming party and stay up as long as we can having a good face to face time?
Don't you know that would be amazing, just imagine that ...good thought :)
*Raises glass*

A toast to this awesome community and all those with whom we shared this experience with; it will be the standard by which all future sale threads are judged.

*Drinks, thinking to self: "They don't get much better than this, do they?"

And the winners of the games would get commemorative 'I survived the Keaning' t-shirts.

For an event like this, I would be willing to crack open one of my aged bottles of Deschutes' Black Butte XXV. :-)

Probably not. I'm thinking the cops would get called in within a few hours...

Glad you appreciate it. I like to drink local and Deschutes' special releases are SOOOOOOO good when they are allowed to age for a while. Looking forward to getting myself a bunch of Abyss soon for the same purpose.

My wish for you total and long lasting enjoyment with that ...:)
There's only one other time I can remember being even a little like this. I used to race GT Legends when Simbin maintained the server and there were about fifteen of us who would turn up every night and race until we dropped. It was well-mannered, fair and fun with real respect from and for everyone. It lasted maybe two months and then the server went and it was over. Terrific memories.
