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

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

Blazz17: Yeah, went for a bathroom break and saw last copy go.
Well, you're in luck. I happened to have bought your copy. Give me your email (in a non-bot-friendly format) and I'll send it your way.

sensui73: Dang...I really wanted Rogue Legacy and I only looked away for a second to do my job. Sad face to the max.

nijuu: U had two times to get it earlier on sale...:)
Sadly, I was busy (crazy IRL stuff) all day yesterday and just found out about this sale a few minutes ago.

npalsensei: 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
Yeah exactly, I got three games despite being a slow tbs gamer. There must be thousands of people here, look how fast the games are selling. If only 5% of people buy a game there must be like 10000 or so clicking on the free stuff. in the first second.
It's pure luck.

Khaleesia87: OMG I got Rogue Legacy for free!!!!!

Supereor: Congratulations, your luck is better than ours :D
Thank you, I'm actually quite surprised myself!! I still missed the Brutal Legend sale though =(

Wish you luck for the next freebie!
Has Lords of Midnight gone up again recently?
this free order-thing is totally unfair!
you need to be fucking rich and you need to have a ultra-fast internet connection to get a free game!

Think it also depends how fast ur system freshes...to be able to click on the buy...if someones system refreshes faster........
Thousands of teenagers with reflex faster than lightning hovering their mouse cursor over the [buy now] button and clicking instantly when the new game appear without waiting to see what it is or if it is free. No bots necessary to make it impossible for the most of us, or at least me. I'm 49 and it does not take a bot to beat my reaction speed.

Of you can be less rich and pay like $4 or less for the game on discount ;)
Unless its one of the few newer games like Dragon Commander.
Rogue Legacy and Don't Starve are the two games I wanted from this sale, and somehow I've managed to miss both *every time*, be it through work, sleep or toilet/food breaks. FML :(

transformer84488: 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?
The Real Texas and Alpha Centauri
