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

hunvagy: Wasn't this game receiving horrendous reviews here from people? Hopefully it'll go away quick.
I think it's better now, with all the patches they've put on it. I stopped playing it after it just kept crashing and went back to Genesis, but I think it might be a good buy for the long run. It's got a lot of potential if they're able to iron everything out.

It's reviews are primarily negative because it's pretty much just Eador: Genisis HD for 4 times the cost. In short, this game is on sale for how much the original game is usually on sale for.

tinyE: MYST
1.49 for the game.
1500.00 for the new PC after you throw your current one against the wall trying to win that damn game.

mortalkombat: that WILL happen if you play RIVEN
The sad thing is I never thought of myself as an idiot until I tried playing those. :P

mondo84: Waiting for 200 copies of Wargame: European Escalation so I can take a shower.

have a feeling this might take a while......hope im wrong....
It will go moderately quickly, but at $6 it's too expensive for me. It's kind of a dud that you might want to give a whirl for a buck.

Souldrifter: I missed out about 4 times yesterday on freebies, but for some reason, I'm not angry. I don't understand why some people are. It's not like anyone is taking anything away from you. Sure, it'd be nice to get a free game, but if you don't, you won't die and life goes on. Disappointing to be sure, but with the way some folks are flailing... it makes me kind of sad.

If you don't get it now, you may get it in the future. If it's too expensive to buy now, wait a while. It will become super affordable at some point in time. As an example, I love the Sims. I never pay full price for that stuff on Steam. I always wait for a super huge sale. I don't have to have the latest and greatest right now. If it's a good game, it'll still be a good game six months, a year, whenever... down the road.

These are just games, people. No one is saying you can't be disappointed, but the people posting in other threads about how this is horrible and stressful etc should go to a news site and look at what's happening in the Philippines right now and get some perspective.
Agree completely, well put.
Darn. I need to go for about an hour. If Don't Starve or Rogue Legacy come up, could anyone please, please get me a copy? :(
I have a few spare games to gift back!

Craig234: FYI one of the Rand brothers who made Myst is making a new game on Kickstarter now.
avatar
nijuu: Only one of them?
Ya.

And some of the Myst team I think.

mortalkombat: myst and the whole series is a legendary game
avatar
CorranHorn: The fist Myst is harder than Myst 3 and I think Riven (Myst 2) is one of the hardest in the series if I´m not mistaken.
Myst is what got me into puzzle games. That being said, there's a LOT of "what the hell am I supposed to do with THIS" going on.... so you have to be patient. I remember the original game came with a notebook to jot ideas down in. That was a BIG hint :)

Read original is better game, but new one has better graphics......they changed the mechanics slightly for the new version...

I'm also getting tired of the people complaining that it's "impossible" to get the free games...I've gotten a few of them and I'm in the U.S. and I'm not doing anything special besides clicking as fast as I can and I see a lot of other reports of people getting them so it's real people getting the free games, not just bots.

yeah but keep in mind that many people doesn't really mean it - take it easy
