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

Artificer: On a totally different topic, is anyone else here extremely excited about the release of X: Rebirth tomorrow?
What's that game about?

jamyskis: Yeah, but I can't imagine there being all that many Australian users, and certainly not many Asian users, especially not in comparison to Europe and the US.
Well, I'm at work...
[spoiler]but I'm still sitting on GOG forums and making stupid comments[/spoiler]

Trilarion: I wouldn't give too much about it. After all it's clearly just some people having fun. It doesn't mean the game is really that bad, only that temporarily some people decided to simultaneously make fun of it.

You could even say it's a publicity for Jack Keane. This guy gets famous this way. Maybe people get curious what this is all about and buy him.

And the current Insomia sale game: Megabyte Punch sells like old bread, but still I don't see anyone posting funny pics about it.

Briareos262: I think the price difference played most of the factor of the Jack Keene game selling so slowly and at $12 or something that lasted or got stuck for 4 and so hours. Now say if Jack Keene went for sale like less than $5 I'm sure it would have sold alot faster and probably less made fun of or more or less.
Yeah like I did the math, I got 11 games today for around the price Jack Keane 2 sold for, ON SALE.

animalmother2105: Holy moly...12hours?

BananaJane: Yeah been here 13 hours, I hope it ends so I can rest
Have to stick it out. Ridiculously stubborn determination at this point. Sat through 5 hours of Jack Keane absurdity, have to at least grab what was intended if at all possible.

BananaJane: Front page news tommorow morning, Deck13 Interactive disbands.

Artificer: At this rate, I really don't think that'll make the front page. From Wikipedia: "Deck13 Interactive is a German video game company based in Frankfurt, Germany. They are best known for adventure games like Ankh, Ankh: Heart of Osiris and Jack Keane."

I would be if it weren't on Steam. I've waited a long time for another X, and now it's exclusive to somewhere that I will never again patronize.

Indeed.

I am eagerly waiting for tomorrow's release of X: Rebirth. Going to buy on the first day of release, that show's how much I trust Egosoft.
I'm still hoping to get NwN 1&2 and System Shock 2 before this sale is over...
Megabyte punch is no Jack Keane 2.

liamphoenix: I hit a lot of the Summer Sale, the D&D bundle alone did a good job of cleaning some out of my wishlist, even though I already owned most of them, those CDs from the 90s were in pretty poor shape.

Frostyfirefly: And some of them don't work on Win 8.
But does anything?
I'm waiting for Weird Al to make a music video about JK2... just waiting.

Frostyfirefly: What's that game about?
Not entirely easy to briefly encapsulate, but it's the fourth game in the X series which started... 1999. Wikipedia calls it a "science fiction space trading and combat simulator" and that'll mostly do the trick although it's still a gross understatement.

Sys Shock was the first game I got today, it should make the rounds soon.

Not me, but I am excited about the XCOM: Enemy Within release tomorrow! :)
