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

Fair to assume this a speed bump? On that note, I'm out, up at 6am. Good luck with Don't Starve, it's only be so long since it last appeared. It must be popping up any moment now.

That or final encore.

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.

Kennethor: Agree completely, well put.
agree as well, some people really need to get a grip
Come on, strategy nerds, buy Eador already!

mortalkombat: that WILL happen if you play RIVEN

tinyE: The sad thing is I never thought of myself as an idiot until I tried playing those. :P
well, they are very cryptic games....
there is no obvious solution to anything in these games...

i was stuck in some parts for ages....(playing without a walkthrough) when the game were first released

nijuu: Only one of them?

Craig234: Ya.

And some of the Myst team I think.
Apparently both brothers will voice characters in it I believe. So if you've missed Sirius and Achenar... here's your chance.
is "don't starve" really that good??
We're approaching the 24 hour mark. Think they'll stop soon?
Eador is going faster than I think. This is good.

dal4fsu: Seriously! I am on a 100meg internet feed using Google Chrome and I hit that button almost before it came up and I couldn't get it. Please explain to me how anyone can get it!

nleibert: Just keep trying man! I've been able to snag 3 free games and I'm just on a 20mb down / 5mb up FIOS connection using plain on Firefox and I'm in the U.S.
This pisses me off. I have yet to get a single game and people are getting multiple games. BTW, you shouldn't be bragging about that connection, it's far better than anything you can get around here, just makes you look like a jerk.

I click as soon as it changes, and half the games are already gone, by the time the page reloads, the deal is gone.

CorranHorn: Torchlight feel like Diablo even the music reminds me of that game. It´s a good game but can, at times, be doing the same thing over and over again. I like it=).
avatar
BeorntheBear: Thanks for The Witcher! ;-)
You only quoted me, tremere11 is the one giving away those codes. Nice one man and this goes for eveyone giving away games to others=).

Ungunbu: yeah but keep in mind that many people doesn't really mean it - take it easy
sorry but some of them do, every other posts is a moan from some people about how crap the sale is and that they did not get a free game. if it upsets them so much go someplace else!
