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

You could go reinstall Windows and all your software and be back before the time is up
Jack Keane 2? Thanks Obama!
Its peak time in US isnt it?
thanks guys for the link to the list of games - (3 pages back)

for those new to the thread, here is the link reposted:

Yeah, I got the Master of Magic by randoming clicking. Missed better freebies but at least I got to save... 1 buck or something... And I don't even wanted the game, I was just clicking to see if I could get a free one :P Was kinda wishing it was Divinity, but it never went on a free sale, no way it's going to be either.

And seing as Jack is Jack, might as well, sleep. It'd be hilarious if I wake up and Jack's still there but I doubt it and it wouldn't be fun for the other hemisphere (I was kinda here from the start, so :P)

BananaJane: So uhhhh...
Anyone know any good jokes?

Fictionvision: I know one. Jack Keane 2's sale rate.

Edit: I wonder if any of the devs out there are reading us trash their games and are getting sad/angry.
Yes, even 20 Copies were too much. But 100 is a very bad joke.

Yres, such things can easy backfire. Let us ask the gamers in an hour, or so. After the counter reaches 50. ;)

BananaJane: I totally need to make a bat character though
Flying foxes are my favorites. I got to see some in real life and they are sooo cute! X)
Umm... Is this one broken? It seems to be stuck a 86.
I wish I had a two display setup - I could play on one and wait for next game on another.

BTW - Are Tex Murphy adventures part of promo?
SOmeone just bought 1. Not me.
85 and counting....v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y...
Okay, time to go grab a sammich.

Wonder if I can walk to Subway, eat, and get back before the next game is up.
