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

Breath or cold I think.

Faenwulf: True. I'm a bit surprised myself. But I just got up and need a shower before I can keane with you guys.

Alien8n: Not that surprising, the US hasn't woken up yet and most of us in the UK have just got up after having a lie in. Admittedly my lie in consisted of "how slow is it? Hmmm, set the alarm for half an hour"

Half an hour later...

"Still on that one? I'll grab another half hour"

4 hours later...

"Oh bugger, what have I missed?"
Yeah, but yesterday morning when RCR was keaning for 8 hours, the participation was still quite a bit bigger.
But I'm of to get myself clean. See you guys in half an hour. Hopefully with a lot of FEZes gone.

zlep: Ooh - see! Language still matters. Everyone hates Phil Fish just cos he can't spell "spreadsheets".

KMetalMind: My fault! I misspelled it. I apologize :) (English is not my main language).
Oh, I know. I was just joking.
And *my* apologies - criticizing typos is the realm of small minds.

LAU00050: Copied from the Fez Reddit AMA header. I think Fish's pretty misunderstood. I know of a couple people who used to get aggravated over very little, and it usually related to past unrelenting teasing. He may act like a child, but it seems the Fish just isn't able to take criticism well, or differentiate the difference between an opinion or mean comments.
avatar
KMetalMind: I agree too. But I understand people getting upset. I personally have gotten 3 Fez copies (1 on Xbox360, 1 on PC, another 1 on PC with Humble Bundle), and I love the game.
I'm sure I'll never finish Fez. I don't have the brainpower or the patience. But the game is amazing. I'm sorry there won't ever be a Fez 2.

That said, it may be better for Fish himself to be away from the indie gaming scene. He isn't the sort of person who can cope with constant harsh criticism, yet he's alienated so many people that I don't think the criticism will ever stop. He seems to want to provoke people, but can't deal with the results. Most people would soften their opinions (at least in public) to get along better with others.
