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

jreaganmorgan: I'm going to be perfectly honest.

This limited quantity system is sadistic and kind of bullshit.
I agree. Those with bad bandwith will get screwed over. Not a fan of this. Usually go for the regular sales put up.

Fictionvision: Puddle free and gone

worlddan: Talk about lag. I was staring right at my screen and it never even displayed.
Same here, I didn't even see it :(
Wait a minute, this game is NORMALLY 30$?!!??!
I doubt I'll want any of these games, but I can't stand to miss the possibility of getting something for free. :/

fronzelneekburm: Wow, I didn't even SEE that there was a free game this time around.
me either
I wonder if these free givings are for real! For Puddle and other games before it, I clicked instantly and yet I get the "offer expired" page!

Hmmm...

Zera: Annnnd I just got Puddle for free. Really not my kind of game, but it's free so whatever.
Grats. I would have liked it, but got the usual "Order has expired" screen.
Actually quite unethical causing such a huge number of people to lose sleep and feeling really bad in the morning.

GOG delved deep into the psychology of human greed and human satisfaction-seeking mechanisms.
Jacks back huh. I guess the staff needed a lunch break
They should have a time limit so games don't get stuck, it's almost as annoying as with free games.
Now why couldn't Jack Keane be free for 2 seconds and disappear?
aaaand.. jack is going to take a ton of time. Time for bed.
Goodnight all!!
If anyone wants to waste $12, I'll take it :p

EDIT: I'm serious, it'll speed things up, and I'll get a free game :P

Alright. I think I'm done for the night. I'll wait for Shelter to go on the Holiday Promo. Have fun everyone!
