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

spitfire1966: This whole free game schtick is something I hope in the future is more well thought out.

As far as the sale goes, I have my cc - right here in front of me. Three attempts at purchasing shouldn't mean three errors when going through the checkout - but that has been my experience so far.

A complete and utter waste of time on my end. GoG can do better than this.

Dragnerok_X: Try Paypal. I've found it to be rather reliable during my two purchases this sale.
Paypal worked fine every time. Bought 4 games today.

Brigand1973: Have lords of midnight or any fallout games been on sale?
LoM, yes. Fallout games, no.

Per http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/1qjevg/gog_fall_insomnia_megathread_limited_quantity Lords of Midnight went on sale earlier today; I myself am hoping for a repeat since it happened during the 2-3 hour window where I was out.

Ninja'ed by Psyringe.

And the Ninja'd streak continues....

That's weird. I've bought 3 or 4 games on the promo, and I haven't been very fast at inputting the cc info.
Dilemma: be sensible and go to sleep or give in to addiction and wait for a Thief: Deadly Shadows promo now I've managed to score Thief Gold and Thief 2. And I wont skip on Sacred, DeusEx and Two Worlds if I see them.
Holy crap. Witcher 2 is going to be $5? Or has it already past?

I think you have time after your first click ... if the transaction works, after that, of course.
Random fact: 200 pages of discussion in just half a day on a single thread!

Similar dilemma over here, with different games. Don't think I'll stretch it for more than 15 minutes though.

The sale is on a shuffle. All 102 titles have been through once already, many a second time. They randomly crop back up, so if you missed something the first time there is still a good solid chance to catch it.
Damn, this is slow. BTW, if you see Wargame again, you can go to sleep. Judging by how it did last time, it'll take hours to sell out.
