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

Has BG2 been up twice yet???
Alpha Centauri should go fast. A fantastic game at a steal of a price.

Now, if only I could find a way to stop falling asleep and missing the games I'm waiting for.... P
they are flying off the shelf ^_^

fuzzknuckle: The promo that would make me not want to sleep has turned into a snoozer.

I think it would help things move along if, when a title was selling too slowly, that the discount would increase by 5% every ten minutes that none sold. Play with the numbers if those don't make sense, but it sounds good to me.
Then people would just wait until the price was almost nothing before buying.
Woah, that one is going fast!

Aspenwood: Unlikely, it hasn't been following a pattern in awhile. It'll do a few in a row from the original order, then jump (seemingly randomly) elsewhere in the list.

mortalkombat: tell me the last 3 games?
In reverse order, Real Texas, Leisure Suit Larry; there was a jump before that with Brutal Legend, Postal 2, & Syberia; then there was another jump with Populous, Rogue Legacy, Tex Murphy, Megabyte Punch, Reus, Chaos Engine; before that was the infamous Jack Keane 2. Intersperced throughout were a few random freebies (Anodyne and Jack Keane 2 are the only ones I remember).

Nope

Don't question *me* again. As I said, it might do a few of the ones you listed, but the last while it hasn't done more than 5 in a row from the original list before jumping.
