Awoke to find it has ended at last. Thank you GOG, and the many great GOGnards, for this wonderful trip!
The moment when "The Promo has ended" got displayed felt like Helm's Deep battle was over.
Yeah... Now, when my mind is free and my eyes set open, its strange to see whats left behind. Guess it would sound somethin like this:

"[Setting: cosy room with mild colors, motivational posters on the wall, relaxing music playing]

Group Leader:
Welcome on our first meeting of ASA [Anonymous Sale Addicts]. Who wants to start?

Dexterus:
My name is Dexterus. 7 days ago, looking forward, I'd had some great plans. There was some many things I wanted to achieve! I never expected that week later I'd be a drooling addict, with bags under my eyes, spending my time as a teen queen or a badger. And then, on this memorable Monday, I've got this e-mail from GOG Spring Insomnia Sale..."

------------------------

Anyway, thanks you lot for the great time here. Even thou this week is a black hole in my CV, can't say I regret anything. Nor the games I bought, nor the times spent here, reading & posting. It was great getting to know you guys here.

See you some other time around! And go, go install all those games you strove for!

And to you sir for this awesome thread!
You're OK for someone who devours souls for a hobby. ;)

011284mm: Only ones I wanted and did not get were Pixeljunk Shooter (looks interesting, but not a must have) & Khronos (as a gift for brother). So all in all I did quite well for myself.
Sent a PM for Pixeljunk Shooter. Cheers.

My name is Kamamura. 7 days ago, I had a job, beautiful family, a place to live, charged Paypal account and a fridgeful of booze and food.

Now everything is gone, and I even sold my best friend to Saracen slavers to get Police Quest 1-4.
Help, I'm having withdrawal symptoms.

Thanks also to you Sinistar for this useful & funny thread, which by the way won against the main one 15K vs 10K XD
Bye and later : )

Aww, I slept through the end of the sale! :-( I turned on my tablet to a big black box saying "This promotion has now ended" and my heart kind of sank a little; I feel like I've just said goodbye to an old friend!

It didn't take me as long to fall asleep after my gig last night as it usually does - I'm usually awake for a couple of hours at least before I start to nod off, but for the second night this week I dozed off with my laptop on my knees! It must've been the lack of sleep catching up with me! :-)

I didn't really have any more games that I was chasing but it's been such fun living this sale with you all that I wanted to hang around a bit longer.

I'd really like to thank everyone, especially those who kept the lists up to date and a HUGE special thanks to IAmSinistar for ensuring my daughter gets to try Shelter and to foxworks for the very kind gift of Long Live The Queen.

Now I've found the forums, I intend to be around in the future. Bring on the next Insomnia!
Looking forward to the Summer Insomnia Sale!

CalicoPup: Drat! Checked Twitter and missed Zork!

Oh well... Round three, here I come!

ormaybemidgets: I grabbed Zork in case someone who wanted it missed it. I can send you the code. :]
Thank you very much for the Zork code that craig_ethan_123 passed onto me. he has been attempting to trade it just as he has been attempting to trade the Witcher that he was gifted and probably every other gift.

Remember guys how I kept warning about being careful with gifting? http://www.gog.com/forum/general/mahayo/post51

I mentioned social engineering and scamming in this thread. This is the first one ousted...they can change names in an instant, change accounts, etc etc. I will write more verbosely on this tomorrow.

PLEASE BE SMART ABOUT YOUR GIFTING! These are the parasites that GOG attracts now as we have a reputation for being darn nice generous people :)

ahmedshaltout: I have kings quest 4-5-6 does that work? :)

Everyone please do not have anything to do with this person unless you like to throw your money to a con artist.

I have that punch drunk feeling I used to get after a marathon D&D and/or Monty Python movie marathon. Happy you went, so tired you can barely stand and not sure why you actually did this to yourself. lol (And can't wait to it again. In 6 or more months, because I need longer to recover from these things these days. lol)

What I wanted from the sale initially. Nothing, just logged on to check out what was on sale, and got caught up in the happy madness.

What I decided I wanted after seeing the list, not in any special - Kings Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Krondor, Arcanum, LLTQ.

What I actually got - Zork, Paper's Please, Cognition, Syberia 2, Police Quest and Krondor.

Bought as a gift code because I wasn't sure if I'd keep them - Driftmoon, Quest for Glory.

Gifted to me from a really good person, (Yeah! Vitamin) LLTQ.

No freebies, but I had a fun time trying to get freebies and that counts too.

I'm going to play Krondor first, its been years since I played that and I still have the documentation.

Why, yes, I am a game (and computer) packrat, how did you guess?
