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: I should add something to my response; as previously stated, I've not played ME3. However, I have several friends who have and whose opinions I highly respect and they tell me that if you ignore the bits that enraged everyone, the other 98% of the game is an excellent game.

I'm inclined to believe them on that and accept that most people on the internet cannot see the forest for the trees.

It wouldn't be the first time I've had to rewrite an ending in my head for my own satisfaction, heh.

CarrionCrow: You know what I remember about the entire Mass Effect series? Guns that magically turn from infinite ammo to ammo required (and yes, I know they called the ammo heat sinks or whatever but that doesn't matter because you can call it magical fairy farts and it's still ammo if your gun won't shoot without it), having to run laps around the ship like I'm a mentally disabled mallwalker to talk to every jackass in a two mile radius roughly two dozen times, that the final ending made no damn sense at all, and that I spent 135 hours plowing through that trilogy of rank, rank ass. That's it.
The endings after the free update make sense, at least to me.

Sincerely I wonder why people hate the game that much, the "talking to every jackass part" is a consequence of having a crew/party of people and it's better than having to wait for a trigger event that might or might not come like in most old infinity engine games.

I'm saving my purchases for the games I want, or I'd buy LSL to help it along.

play the first 2 for what? story-wise? I wasnt interested in the story....
if i liked ME3. i would play then 1 and 2.
i played that game (at least was going to) for the RPS game-style
until the control system discouraged me and gave up...

*yawn*

When I went to bed 8 hours ago, there were 70 copies of Jack Keane 2 waiting to be sold. I half expected them to still be there when I woke up.

I never played 3, but I always found with the first two that there is no point in playing except for the story. The gameplay is very bland with every area being more chest high walls, just different textures.

Honestly... it's an internet thing.

It's not specific to ME3, or even games, but this more or less covers it: http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-things-internet-needs-to-calm-down-about/

Well, for me it got into a really unpleasant pattern. Talk to everyone, do a mission, talk to everyone again, do another mission, talk to everyone again, do some Mako crap where you're driving around on something that acts like a giant bouncy ball/probe planets repeatedly for upgrade resources, do a mission, talk to everyone again, run around the Citadel like a headless chicken, and so on. I really wanted to get into the story, didn't want to miss out, but it seriously felt like one hell of a monotonous grind after a while.
And as a bonus, my X-Box ate all my saves some time after I finished the trilogy. Didn't have it in me to run through it all again just to get back to a point where any additional facesaving crap they slapped onto the end would have applied.

Larry was so drunk that he can´t remember it, at least that is what I think Al blamed on for not doing it (the real reason though was that Al had promised he´d never do Larry 4, a promise he kept, damn you Al=)).
