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

jpwiseguy: Same here...but I can only wait until 23:00, and don't Starve is going into Jack Keane territory. :(

ALH: Nah.Still far from it.Think Keane 1 started at 100 copies.Took almost 5hrs.Don't Starve started at 1200 i think.Can't compare.
LOL, wow. I had no idea. I just like poking at Jake Keane....

How long has Don't Starve been up there so far anyway?
I just return home. What I missed? Planescape?

getohesch: But doesn't make so much sense if you take into account that gog users come from all over the world. So when you have dinner time, we have night, others just left their homes to go to work ....

BoxOfSnoo: However, it may be more oriented around the GOG staff. They want to go out for dinner? Park a Keane on em. Night time skeleton crew? Omerta!
Actually this one makes the most sense.

sirchaox1224: I knew Don't Starve would still be up by the time I got home.

1200 copies, GOG? What were you THINKING?!
Well. I am impressed that it shifted 722 copies as of now. That's a lot of Starving fans. (mind the pun)
Fortunately, I am working from home. This way I can watch the sale while doing my job and earning the money I need to pay for these insane deals.
Thank goodness this thread has slowed down a little. It's hard to keep up! :P

NW2 is probably the biggest one.

Oh please God no!
Off to play Don't Starve while I wait for the next sale...

...I'm really hopeful Expeditions goes this slowly also so I have a chance at it.
Planescape:TorKeane
I really want one more copy of NWN 1... But I am so tired and it's so late and this is going so slooow... zzZZzzzz
Still the same game?!!?!?!?

Chocobostew: I was waiting for this game hours ago. Then they threw it up as a freebie (Of course I wasn't fast enough). And by being thrown up as a freebie, I then had to wait for the title to cycle around again for the actual sale price.

I hope this game takes forever to sell. Feel my pain. No sympathy from me.

groze: Not sure if you were 'lightheartedly' approaching the subject, but I find your comment a bit uncalled for... Chandoraa plainly stated the obvious: a whole lot of people keep whining and raging about not getting Don't Starve, so then it comes up and they don't buy it?!

You didn't see me complain when I had to go to work and missed some cool games, they're just that -- games. And it's not as if the games most people want are that expensive here on GOG even without this sale discount...

What you said came off as plain egotistical and rude.
I was one of those who was asking for DS earlier (And I did buy it finally).

And yes there were a lot of people asking for it, but no where near 1200 copies worth. That was GOG's doing. The first few hundred copies of DS during this current go-around went fairly quickly.

So basically my post was a mocking response to the misdirected frustration "trolling" accusation contained in the post I replied to. It was a ridiculous post, to which I simply made a ridiculous reply. Nothing more.

I'm actually a little shocked that Don't Starve isn't flying. This is the cheapest I've seen it anywhere yet. I've been holding out for it, I figured a lot of other people have too.
