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 like Syberia, it is a fun point and click game. Everyone should buy it (but don't click on the free games BTW)
Everyday we're shuffling. :D

Alphabetical Checklist!

Last time I am posting that, because I am going to bed. Toodles folks! Wake me if Don't Starve shows up. :P
I guess we can confirm that it is *not* following the first run now... Jack Keane 2, followed by a string that did follow the order, now a jump to Syberia.

Edit: Which sucks, as Magrunner would have been up next :-(

Fezred: I know it isn't in this sale or on the site yet, but I'd love to see the original Legacy of Kain on here. It's tied up in some legal nightmare, I suspect.
Blood Omen? It's on PSN though.

npalsensei: LOL, order change. Better go to work/exam/whatever, people xP

Artificer: I'm pretty sure they're reading this thread and trolling us as much as possible =P

You have to admit, it totally explains free Keane.
Yeah. the chances of that happening automatically ;)

It was here a while ago, it went away faster than when Nupraptor kicked the bucket.

Kunovski: give it a pass and go to school, it will be on sale again before Christmas...

education all the way!

Crowned: True. I just hate how close a call it is.
yeah, I understand how after hours of waiting it's just not right to give up :o) but hey, it's just games and sales, and these things will always come back :)
Magrunner has already gone twice, fwiw.

are you sure? I'm pretty certain it never was here (I'd buy it if it were)

There was a free Jack while I was asleep? Damn, I missed all the fun. Went to sleep when Jack was on sale some hours ago.

great game. I still have it for the PS1. I would happily buy again if GoG brings it over ^_^

People started showing up for the day shift, saw the thread, saw all the new reviews, and probably nearly went deaf from the sound of thousands of customers gnashing their teeth in unison. And then they said to themselves, "If they're going crazy now, wait til they see THIS!"

Yep, I even said "look, it's the game that taught me how to speak like a philosophy student".
Late to the party, but at least I got one game I wanted. Syberia here I come!

About two games after Jack was on sale, they put up 15 free copies, presumably to taunt us.
