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

zlep: Hmm, are you so unhappy about waiting that your eyes have drooped, or are you standing on your head?
My guess, left handed...

I'm left handed and to me this feels strangely wrong...
Geez, now I have two things to follow.
Not only the FezKeane, but also tennis!
FYI: Czech Republic is playing against Serbia in the Davis Cup finals,
the score is 2:1 for us, after yesterday's double
Hope I didn't miss anything awesome but I probably did.

Elmofongo: Is this going to end, its hard to make a new thread without people being distracted by this sale and this thread :(
Nope, the Image of Keane has been seared onto my retinas forever

Alien8n:
Thanks for the laugh

And you really need to catch up on actual interactions people have had with killers online and not just rely on what you hear in the news ;)

Pretty much everyone I know who writes their smilies backwards are left handed, not too sure why that convention came about :/

ahab: Why do I need internet friends, who get butthurt over what people say?

Also amusing to see people who still haven't grasped how this sale works ;)

Alien8n: I've yet to hear anyone say

"I was really surprised when he went out with a gun and shot all those people, he seemed like such a nice guy online"

In my experience if you can be a complete jerk online you tend to be a jerk in real life as well...
Interesting hypothesis. When protected by anonymity, do anti-social people show their true anti-social selves...? I'd like to see someone investigate that. (Mind you, there are *so many* people acting anti-social on the internet that it would be worrying to find a correlation.)
I almost wish I had missed the games I was waiting for while I slept....I don't think I can sit by the PC for another day....Maybe just pop in and out and see if I get lucky...

Highly unlikely, unless you're into Giana Sisters, which was selling quite fast.

I'm probably too old for this shit. I bet it's something the hipster lefties came up with when they entered the internets in the 2000s ;)

np

that was the first game up i was interested in when i first stumbled across this sale.
i shoulda pulled the trigger then.
but i was much younger then, and i delusionally thought i might be able to snipe it in a freebie round. ^_^
and i hadnt witnessed the keaneness . . .

Fact is, IRL also requires anti-social behaviour from you. So at most you can say that anonymity serves to underline what you are already doing out there.

I've known a few guys who've trolled online, proper nasty trolling, and they were idiots offline as well. Like BNP supporting fascist brain dead anti anything not British raving loons.
