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

Only 2 or so weeks to go... *hopefully*
Are you all sure it returns in 2 weeks ? I'm still traumatized when I remember these long, long days in front of my PC last year, most of the time for maximum 2 games. Crazy !
217! It's going faster than you might think!

Can we party like it's 199(9)? :D
Bumping this as the wait for Insomnia continues....
Roughly 258 hours to go, based on last year's start. Could've sworn it started around 6 am local time. Might be wrong, can't remember exactly.
Not that I've been chomping at the bit so hard it looks like a chew toy or anything.

It was either 2 or 3 pm GMT...

Okay, cool. Thank you for the clarification. Honestly, I remember this - waking up, seeing it having already started, saying, "Holy crap!" and from there it was being mesmerized for days. -laughs-

Yeah, it was a blast. That made me participate in the forums. Before, I have not written a word anywhere here.

Same here. It was the first time I actually spoke at length with other people in the community.
I know a lot of people aren't big on the format, but it's a pretty great way to get people to connect. Everyone's watching, everyone's waiting for what's next. Mad dashes to grab what looks awesome before it runs out, people commiserating when it all comes to a screeching halt and the lull sets in, seeing people from pretty much every section of the planet talking and enjoying themselves, helping and grabbing items for each other when people have to pull themselves away and get a bit of rest.
Not really something you see on the internet very often, at least in my experience.

Glad you bumped this, as I thought it took place during the third week of November - wouldn't want to show up for the party a week late! (Again, like you I'm assuming IF it gets done, they keep a similar date). I had a blast during Spring Insomnia and have a few wants I wouldn't mind seeing come up over the course of a few "zombie days" of staring at my computer ;) I got a few laughs during Round 1 of Spring, because every few minutes I'd be running off from whatever I was doing to check the computer and see what had come up next!

No, no, no. Definitely don't want interested people missing the boat entirely. It's far too infrequent a thing for that. And yes, Insomnia sales are pretty much guaranteed enjoyment for people who can participate.
I keep wondering....some people have said that the Halloween sale was short on some items that seemed like they'd be perfect fits. But considering that GOG has a smaller catalog in general, it'd make sense to not go bananas for Halloween if they're gearing up to put 100 items on super sale within a couple weeks of that.

With less than 2 weeks remaining, let me repost yet again the (in) famous picture.

Never forget.
