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

Looks Like Mega Man on crack.

Might buy it if there weren't two games left I was actually aiming for, or it didn't cost $5 on sale.

Frostyfirefly: Hm, free Geneforge or Don't Starve would be nice.

Melhelix: Geneforge Saga was up for free earlier, sorry.

Don't Starve is currently chained up in a closet never to see the light of day again. :(
I don't know why, but this probably Jack Keane's fault as well. :p
Ow no.... I think we have another Keanegate. Megabyte punch seems to be stopped.
I'm ill again and took my pills, but I must stay for the games I really want, sigh.
Who else was able to score a free game today? Out of sheer luck I ended up getting Phychonauts earlier today (didn't realise until I checked then) even though I got the lovely ‘you have crashed the sever’ message… and well Australia’s internet does suck… lol

rtcvb32: Don't you mean 'Stop this crappy sale and start a normal one without limits'?

I know..

ZapMcRaygunn: I agree with the sentiment about Thief 3. I got no freebies, but I was quick enough to get Thief and Thief 2 for $2 each. Even though 3 is less than $7 with the built-in discount from 1 and 2, 3 for $2 would be nice.
I did not even get any Thief games ;_;
ah the loss is unbearable

If it's in a closet does it get a bonus mini-game called 'Don't Scarves', where you resist the urge to wear a stylish but nonfunctional scarf?

Melhelix: Well that's because Brütal Legend also had Tim Curry. And Rob Halford. And Ozzy Osbourne. And actually pretty much everyone ever and was a completely awesome game made of metal, noise, blood, and FIRE! \m/
Awh hell, now I need to play it again.
avatar
BananaJane: Tim Curry's in it?
I guess I HAVE to play now.
He's the villian! AND HE'S AWESOME! And in multiplayer you can play as Tim Curry and it is absolutely hilarious and incredible! *cough* Sorry bout that. Ahem.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head where he wasn't the villain.
for some reason my boss think that i am ill. I wonder why
Ok, time to write some reviews about how Megabyte Punch is an awesome game.

saberwolfxm: I'm all for insomnia but damn I'm getting tired :-)

riposter70: I'm in Australia. Still wide awake!
It's 2:30 am here, hoping I can still work with 3 hours sleep :-D

Jack Keaneitis :P

Maybe because he saw you clicking to get a free Jack Keane game?

mkess: I saw it, and I froze completly. Not able to push the mouse button.

I think, I am traumatized.

liamphoenix: I did the same thing. After all that making fun of it I wouldn't mind trying it out. Definitely not for $12 though.
So that's why I managed to get it. Everybody was in shock, servers had the lowest load :)
