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

I wonder if someone could buy (OH PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BUY!) Jack Keane 2, and beat the game, before it sells 55 more copies.

TVs_Frank: It's amazing just how unpopular Jack Keane is.

I guess that's more the fault of the publisher thinking it warranted $30 and $12 during a sale.
I am more surprised about people that buy it for that price. :D
$635.47 left people! C'mon, we can do it! Let's all chip in a little, a pool of some sorts so that someone can buy the remaining copies. A new Indiegogo campaign: "This fund will go to the purchase of every remaining copy of Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within on GOG (no not the Gynecologic Oncology Group lolol)!" $1 minimum will net you a free code to the game! Chip in $11.99 or more and you'll receive the $1 tier PLUS a free plane ticket (hotel and meal expenses not covered) to meet Mr. Jack Keane himself who will gladly provide you an autographed copy of his gaming masterpiece Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within! Hurry, this deal won't last forever!

Frostyfirefly: Ok, I've been here since the start of the sale, out of boredom, let me share with you what I have purchased so far and why:

- System Shock for about $2.00, I've been hearing about this game since I wrote my college thesis and saw it in a book about video games and how they make us better learners. I also heard the ending sucks, but I will still play it to the end.

- Duke Nuke'em for about $2.00 as well, I started playing this classic on the 360 a long while ago, but left it halfway because I didn't like the "mouse and keyboardless" controls. Now it's time to finish it, hail to the king baby!

- Neverwinter Nights 2 for about $4.00, played and finished the first part a while ago, got really disappointed because the romantic interactions were so shallow, the ending was inconclusive, and the game was plagued with bugs. But now that some of that is fixed, I can give it another go and play the expansions.

- Sword of the Stars: The Pit for about $4.00, since Nightmare of Druaga Fushigi no Dungeon for PS2, I felt rogue-like games were an unexplored area in my gaming career, so here I am now, ready to face an adventure that will probably have me dying a hundred deaths before I finish it.

- A kind player gifted me Spellforce Platinum because I was looking to get it for free. I know almost nothing of the game, and I am very eager to play it because some people have told me it's better than it looks, a good mix of RTS and RPG.
Wow, so many games, you are lucky !
But hey man, Go get some rest, sticking here too long just to save a few bucks seems not a good strategy.
By the time you wake up Jake probably has 15 more copy :)

I manage to grab tropico 3 (feel good to get a nice legal copy get).

Hmm, 6 AM. Time to take up, make a shower and wake breakfast. And I'm sitting on GOG, watching a bar shorten very slowly.

How you was able to get free games? they was "expired" even before posted :-D did you crazy lucky or used some bot?
Hey kids!!!

If you want to play a fun game while staring at the main page and waiting for Jack Keane to sell off, just keep hitting the 'CTRL' key and F5 at the same time, over and over and over...

Magic will happen, and it will sell off before your very eyes...! ;)
You think this promo was scheduled to run for 24 hours?

Damn, I missed getting Tropico 3. I hope your copy serves you well (Jealous!)
JK2 at 53 and I'm out of time - gotta work tomorrow.

At this JK2 might be the last title available on this sale - get your copy while you can!

Best of luck too all.
Just after midnight...I'm done with Keane for the night. Hopefully, I won't wake up to JK2 still on sale.

Cmon people, nobody wants some Jack Kean action?
They really need to boot games that aren't selling so we can move onto the next sale, this Jack and Keane is taking too long to sell.
