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

liamphoenix: Not a fan of the fake reviews though. Some of them are hilarious, but GOG is going to have to clean all of those up, there's only one actual review of the game on there.
I don't know, Amazon still has those reviews up for the banana slicer. It, too, can cure the common cold.
Just wondering, is there a holiday sale here at GOG? I have the growing suspicion that I will not be able to see the rest of this rate because I still need to sleep unlike most people on the internet.

what time is it in Canada?
Still 61
I have $15 left in my game budget.

$3.29 Chaos Engine
$2.99 Jade Empire
$5.99 Eador

I don't have the money left to buy one just to move it along. Plus, there's no guarantee that those three will pop again. Also, I was watching with Jade Empire popped, my slow connection took longer to load it than all of them took to sell.

yes there is - and deals every week!
Wow... Who knew Jack Keane had such longevity?

Well, it is now 11:30pm and time to get to sleep for work tomorrow.

Overall, today was good: picked up 4 games:
Jade Empire
Retro City Rampage
Chains of Satinav
Don't Starve

There were others I was tempted to get as well, but figured if only I could have snatched Lords of Midnight. Ah well, that is what (hopefully) the Christmas sale is for, right?

Good luck to all those remaining and watching the promo. Hope Keane decides he has had enough and bows out soon.

Uzur9: Anything good?

Nesoo: Heh, I suppose I could go watch the 192 episodes of Bleach I have queued up on Hulu. JK2 might be down in the low teens when I'm done.

(I'm sure the manga is better, as is often the case with books and the movies based on them, but I'm lazy... and the show is free.)
Between the Anime and Manga it was the same other then some small changes. Ep. 192 going off the top of my head thats filler ep correct?

GOG traditionally has a sale in December. The July/Summer sale prices rivaled those here (some better) in bundle deals up to 85% off (Torchlight was free for a day or so) so there's always more time.

yes, it's 50% off almost across the board (there's a few titles that the publishers don't want to go on sale), with daily special promos of groups of games (like all the D&D games) at higher rates of discount.
Hey everyone! I just figured out why this is called the Insomnia Promo!
No, is this the end? Are we stuck on Jack Keane?

Depends on what time zone. If you are taking about the timezone where I live, then it is 11:31 PM.

Yeah, I hit the D&D summer sale, even owning all but one on disc it was a good enough deal to just get them all from GOG then.
