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

cannard: I've always been on the fence about Postal 2. From what I gather it's not a "good" game in the traditional sense. Like the exploitation film equivalent of a video game. I've heard the third game was genuinely terrible though. This is from someone who actually saw the Uwe Boll movie and genuinely liked it.

Artificer: Well, look at the critical reception of Duke Nukem Forever.

I don't know what people were expecting from the successor to Duke 3D, but what they got was... well, the successor to Duke 3D. And since they were 15 years older, they realized it was basically just a series of bad dick jokes.
Forever had problems from trying to copy too many games, and genuinely wasn't fun on it's own, while I still enjoy Duke Nukem 3D to this day. This artcle's a good read on how internal development failed: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/12/fail_duke_nukem/all/

Nesoo: Yay, got my Brutal Legend! Looks like people might be right about them scrambling chunks of 5, so Rayman should be up next.
Rayman was up twice already..once freebie.once paid
Someone here wanted Brutal Legend right? Was it LadyBanana?

Devoidless: If I only had a Nicholson for each time I've heard that one.
You'd have a lot of Bacon.

I was hoping to save that one for a rainy day but I was grasping.
Did not intend to buy Brutal, but after all that talk about it...

Congratulations, you just created a sentence that's never been said before :)

(and likely never said again ;)
Duke 3D was more than dick jokes. Those were just spice to it. What you had was a very well made and polished FPS, good and fun weapons, nice level design and freedom and fun enemies and light puzzle elements. It deserved all the praise it got. It wasn't just kids buying and reviewing it.

Daniel Day-Lewis? Charlie Day? I dunno, take your pick.

I'm thinking the freebies don't count, since Jack Keane 2 was apparently up twice, and was a freebie afterward.

Oh, I'll totally give you that, but there's nostalgia value to consider as well.

There's a fine line between "crude humour" and just "crude" and some properties miss it, is all I'm saying.
