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

foxworks: Guess we can go back to speculating about Insomnia instead of Galaxy as it seems the installer updates had nothing to do it with it. So back to it then...

Wouldn't feel right doing that unless I was loading up accounts to fill with more games. I could try, but I'm pretty sure trying to run purchases for dummy names along with this one during the frenzy would drive me insane.
51..... down to 47 because of another mysterious clicker! Hurry in, folks!
Was going to try something clever to say, but that's not working. So to hell with it.
Will just keep on bumping this undead leviathan of a thread until someone with blue letters tells me, "Hey, it's happening, you can stop now" or "Hey, it's not happening, so knock it off and stop cleaving the dead horse with a chainsaw already".

Found something Insomnia-related that's pretty funny. Not sure how saturated it is, but it's amusing to read if you haven't seen it before.
No clue how to embed links, so I'll just put this here for people to copy/paste -

Laughed hard seeing how long GOG originally thought the first Insomnia would run for.

Not a problem. Figure that if I'm going to bump the thread for the next who knows how long, I should at least try to put in something more interesting than a running tally of how many minutes there are til the projected (hoped for) Insomnia start time.
Giving the thread a brunch-time bump in between being reminded that psychic monkeys, rabid gun turrets and rooms full of exploding (but polite, have to give credit where it's due) robots, while frustrating, still beat the hell out of getting my hand held so hard I nearly lose circulation all together.

Voted, it doesn't read in progress yet!

Moonbeam: Voted, it doesn't read in progress yet!
Would be nice if it did, but there's no info on if or when it's going to start and there undoubtedly won't be until the last minute. Switching the vote to "in progress" status would show GOG's cards early, and they aren't big fans of doing that.

Somebody called a sharp viking with an insomniac axe?...errr wait...

"How to link"-manual:
- Mark the word(s) in which you want to embed the link... In this case it shall be the word EXAMPLE ;) When its marked push the link button...
- Now you see this: "[urI=EXAMPLE]EXAMPLE[/urI]" ... Mark the first EXAMPLE and paste your copied link - in this case "www.gog.com"... of course ;)
- Now you see this: "[urI=www.gog.com]EXAMPLE[/urI]" ... Now you have embedded your link into the word EXAMPLE.... Post your Message... Done! :)

Edit: "There were some blockers we didn't expect," Klapovsky said. "I still remember the game Jack Keane 2, that appeared during the night European time, and it postponed the next game for six hours or so."
I had to laugh a couple times, but also to ponder about their words... Thanks for the link! :)
