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

Aspenwood: 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.
it does a few in a row, then it jumps randomly around the list....

and I see it started in random once again.....

especially if GOG staff see our messages here, they will force-start random sequence again
Is there anyone here who wanted Alpha Centauri but missed it?
If you clicked the button you could still have gotten the game for Free, check you mail and account a few minutes later when the server are not so busy.
Ah I see those 100 copies of Leisure Suit Larry did get sold. Can anyone tell me what all games came after LSL up until Shadow Man?

jfelsman: Fastest connection wins. That is not me!
They should do this when I'm home not at work, I could compete with the 120Mbit line then instead of this crap xD
damn... :/

Rogue Legacy.. clicked, saw the loading animation then it just changed to Shadow Man.
Really, some people need to put the thing into perspective. It's not just us on the thread clicking for the freebie. We're talking about thousand simultaneous clicks for like 10 copies. I'm pretty sure it's not bots that are messing things up. You people are messing up my chances, go away xP

Khalaq: Is there anyone here who wanted Alpha Centauri but missed it?

PepsiDude002: How the hell does a free game expire in literally 2 seconds? :(
Because there are like 15 copies of them and thousands of people trying to snag it?
(not to mention very possible bots and auto-clicker users...)
How is Shadow Man for PC compared to its console versions?
OK discounted Shadow Man, I'll bite.
