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

sirchaox1224: Grabass is probably my favorite GOG game

Kaitu: That made me laugh so hard that I got funny looks. :-)
That's all I ever asked for... ;]

justanoldgamer: OK, anyone has a problem with the front page not refreshing?

It happened to me twice today in two different browsers (Chrome and Firefox) on Windows 7.

Right now my browser was still showing Anodyne and someone here posted about purchasing Startopia. I refreshed the page manually and it's Magrunner.

acarlson412: That's happened to me several times throughout this promo. Also sometimes when there's a free game and I get taken to the "expired" page, the home page goes back to the previous game and gets stuck there for awhile. It's really irritating, especially when the previous game had 1000 or so copies and you have to sit and watch the meter drain over and over before it actually shows the next game.
It happens to me everytime. And i swear i've clicked EVEN BEFORE the freebies appeared no less then 40 times yet i got nothing, which supports my supposition that my crappy internet connection is cutting me out of any chance to get one.

snip3rfire: Magrunner is going surprisingly fast for a $10 game. Hoping I don't jinx it. Seriously though, you could buy a lot of other games in this sale for that single price.

BastienN: Yes.. the worst i saw was 22$ i think, for idk which one
Dragon Commander. Better known as Keane Commander or Jack Dragon or Divine Jack: Dragon Commander etc. etc.
avatar
ketegano: Please GOGers quit this Magrunner and put NWN2, I really need to go to sleep
avatar
snip3rfire: Same here! NWN2 would be much appreciated.
tomorrow maybe... but for now, you can go to bed an rest a little bit! ^^ i will watch it for you ^^ sweet dreams <3
...
I think if GOG ever run a sale like this again, it should come with a serious health warning or something. The lack of sleep I've got in the past few days because of my addiction to this sale is unbelievable. I've never experienced such a sale before.

MGShogun: Yep! :(

stutzjon: Oh man. Thanks.
But I can be wrong on that one, though. Someone need to post the list.

MGShogun: Yep! :(

Haha yes I remember now

Meriande: Falls asleep
Someone wake me when NWN2 / Theme Hospital finally decide to pop up...
i will wake you ^^ ... but now, you should take a rest!
Here's a suggestion to the staff: next time you do a sale like this (and I encourage you to do so, though normal sales are cool too), consider using some zanier numbers of cheaper licenses instead of the round ones. You could even go thematical for this - 40 and 4 free copies of a Polish game, 108 cheaper copies of a Eastern-oriented one, or 528491 cheaper copies of Jack Keane 2. Wait, screw that last one.

This is hella entertaining sale! :DDD

FreDDaN: So how many energy drinks or caffeine drinks have you drunk sofar because of the sale? 5+ for me sofar.
Two cups of coffee every hour for the last 31ish hours.

I've also taken the two largest dumps of my life.

I feel so ill :/

Or at the very least a countdown so that when a game stops selling for more than a few minutes it switches to a different game so that we don't end up sitting here for hours on a game that isn't selling, waiting for those sales to come in just to move to a different game.

MGShogun: Yep! :(

stutzjon: Oh man. Thanks.
When the hell was that? I'm sure I've been up for pretty much all of this 3rd round...
I hope that insomnia promo won't come back at Christmas or new year...
Or ever again...
