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

Tolmar: That was quite interesting, 10 points to you Sir/Madam
you're welcome.
I wonder if "Keane" will become a meme now....

Spread it! Make it go viral! Spread the plague released by the Keaning!

Minmataro: Nope I have the wife as back up.

Alien8n: I press ganged my daughter into it. Didn't work too well though apart from an hour yesterday afternoon :/
Haha, I've asked for help at keeping an eye on things as well. :P

zlep: LOL. a catalogue of 70 games! That was way before my time.

SpiderFighter: Two of which were, sadly, removed...never to return.. :,-(
what are those?

Alien8n: Manuals used to stop my table rocking...

xenxander: Sometimes the manual would be almost a novel. I read the entire MoO3 manual because a lot of it was just cannon story, which I actually liked :)
Also because that game was intimidating and I actually wanted my money's worth out of it, so I wanted to know how to play.
It payed off, I got lots of enjoyment out of it before finally retiring it.
It's still not a good game, but it had so much potential, that's why I like it. It 'could' have been awesome, and I'm just sad it got rushed so badly.
Was it Elite 2 came with a book of "Tales from the Frontier"? I have that somewhere still...

Stonekeep (not that old, but, well...) even had a novel in its box. It was quite mediocre, at best.

SpiderFighter: Anyone have any ideas as to what the order of the next couple of games will be?

johnnygoging: seems random or at least curated arbitrarily. I'd lean towards the latter as the amount of copies offered seem to relate how well something has been selling. slower games have had less copies in the third and second round. people who have had lists suggesting groups of games have been wrong.
Not always. There have been plenty of times in the last day that those lists were fairly accurate. I think it was once those lists started getting passed around they (GoG) pressed the 'ANNOY EVERYONE WITH RANDOMNESS" button.
We have a lot of games left. this could take another two days.

Sadly i turn into a pumpkin monday morning cant do this when i need to be at work... damn responsibilities.

There's been a guy on the last couple of days who has actually been correct, so I was hoping he was here. :)
time to watch the last pieces of Fez tick away :)
And then time for more Sacred Gold if we get another crap sale :P
Just looked at Humble Bundle Store, Papers Please $5,99. That game looks really good, never thought I would be interested in a game that is about checking papers all day=).

Colin McRae Rally 2005 and TOCA Race Driver 3.
Actually, it's incredible how very few games they lose. Check out this page on the wiki...it's pretty interesting. http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_removed_from_GOG
