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

Excuse me for not paying attention to this Jack Keane meme, but what is wrong with Jack Keane? Is it a very bad game or something?

no, it's just the game that stalled the Fall Insomnia sale more than any other, so it became the subject of many puns and amusement in the thread while we waited for it to sell out

Wow...... you are very lucky that you weren't there.

I think for 2nd round, 100 copies of Jack Keane show up. It took 5 hours for it to sold out. The majority of us were freaking out and lose our mind in this thread.

Then for 3rd round, only 25 copies of Jack Keane goes up and thankfully, it went very quickly...... about 20, 30 mins.

Hence, you will see a lot of Jack Keane meme pop up. It's a reference for having to wait soooooooooo long.
how long is Valve Time in Keaning time?

Heh, I thought Don't Starve and Hotline Miami were the longest.

And don't forget Retro City Rampage.

But Jack Keane was the first...

All hail the One and Only Keane!

cjc7: Well, I can feel your pain, my first pick I also already had, I hope that before it's over you get lucky , really lucky, and get something really great. I was was blown away when I saw Splinter Cell pop up ! I wanted to try it for a long time, just from the looks of it reminds me of Deus Ex, ( one of my top all time favorites :) )) Well, wishing you much luck for your next pick.
The Splinter Cell games are all awesome, I've played through the first 3, and part of the 4th one. The only flaw in the first one really is that it is single player only, but that's just fine if you enjoy single player games anyway, which is IMHO the primary reason to buy the game. :) I'd like to get the last 2 games in the series if Ubi ever wakes up and makes them DRM-free. Otherwise I'll probably pass on them though, but anyone who likes the first game here on GOG is likely to like 2-4 also.
LOL. I can't believe the thread is still going on. This is awesome.
KEANE IS TRYING TO RETURN!
Everyone vote NOW for the Globtrotter's Gear bundle!
Keane cannot be stopped. Keane is eternal.
Even the threat of Keane (and double Keane at that!) has slowed down the Christmas sale, so that today's offers will take all of tomorrow too... o.O




One day I will play them, I will play them both. Once the initial trauma has passed, and the price has come down to a more reasonable one. After all, I'm here to buy some Good Old Games, for a song ;)
