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

nijuu: Dunno. Personally never heard of it ..and i been gaming since 1985 :D
It got some recognition here in Poland back in the 90s - ads in gaming magazines, good reviews.
Nice voodoo \ mystery \ paranormal action adventure.

Briareos262: congrats on the snipe. I still stick with what I said tho, The freebies are a very very small minimal amount of chance for most people to get. So yes near impossible still ^_^

mrking58: But I have gotten 3 free games. Omerta, Master of Orion 12 and Rogue
Then you sir are very lucky. I think I've only came across one other poster here that got a free game that lived in the States, so I suppose it might be a continental issue. Also I think most people don't or can't afford good connections to snag some of the freebie games as well.

Flam3crow: I've gotten a freebie by just clicking a couple times, so it's all in the luck.

Kennethor: Chrome is faster also, and of course your internet speed matter but yes luck is the biggest factor.
I've been using Firefox :/

That explains a lot.

Novotnus: Why is Shadow Man selling so slowly? It's a good game!

nijuu: Dunno. Personally never heard of it ..and i been gaming since 1985 :D
Shadow Man came out after Resident Evil 2 which is considered one of the best games ever in the genre. This game was overlooked by most people when it came out I don't remember anyone ever talking about it.

Brigand1973: Has Lords of Midnight come back around? I eventually gave up last night when we were stuck on Jack Keane for 3 hours...

Way to rub salt in the wound. It makes it more difficult to be happy for the people who were lucky when they come across as bragging about it.

It may help that I live in the UK plus I have a fast (and I mean very fast) connection.

than what? this isn't strictly true in a flat total sense. firefox has been faster than chrome since 25 or so.

did you buy any games?

gbaz69: Are we supposed to let the page 'update' by itself to the next game, to get free games...
or is there some trick I'm not aware of? It seems very unfair.
I don't see refreshing/f5 working, because it shows the previous game, and does a FAST count down :(
Yeah, refreshing when the game is about to end is a surefire way to miss the free games. By the time the counter's done, the next game will have already start selling. Unless it's Keane.
