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

The perfect color then.

OK that was mean.

This made me LOL so bad!

I think I am going histerics over here.
I assume they didn't include Long Live The Queen in this sale? That would be the only reason I would start spectating the promo again, after spending 7-8 hours watching it yesterday...
I've been away like for 18 hours and you guys have made a thread 249 pages long. Just... how?
Jack Keane 2 is the turd that just won't flush. Someone get the plunger.

Well... Jack Keane played a role in it.

Jack Keane 2. For what feels like the entirety of those 18 hours.

FlamingFirewire: Wow, this game is really "holding up the line", isn't it? :D
Holding up? More like strafing said line with bullets, squatting and spraying a combination of fecal matter, glass and beetles on the survivors, then lighting the screeching, writhing filth on fire.
Now watch, when the last one sells the sale will be officially over because the alotted time for the whole event is over.

Nope, not included. Perhaps it'll be on sale in December.

No.
Sigh, I really don't know why they thought 100 copies for an "off-brand" (so to speak) adventure game was a good idea.

I remember watching a short review on Jack Keane, from TotalBiscuit. Well he was going over steam sales, and this was one of the ones, anyways if I recall right the story and game wasn't that strong.
I can't help but feel gratitude for some brave soul every time I see the number drop. I salute each and every one of you silly bastards. *salute*
this was the first thing on my mind when this sale started (well, apart from buying System Shock 2 :D

so I asked one of the GOG stuff what will happen if one of the games doesn't sell, and he told me he's not sure what they'd do if some of the games gets "stuck", but they tried to come up with deals that don't have that many copies so it should not happen...

unfortunately, even 100 is too much for Jack Keane 2

to be honest, I'm REALLY feeling bad for the developers of the game now, they must have spent many hours working on the game, it's a sequel too, so they must have thought it's going to be successful, and maybe it was around the world, but now it's become "a game that nobody wants" on this site apparently (I can already see the memes starting)

and it's not even a bad game, on the contrary, it's really good! (yeah, I didn't buy it here either as I have it on DVD)

EDIT: just try and watch the trailer, you might find out you like it :o)
