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

Buenro-games: Well everyone, enjoy your next three hours because I predict that is how long this one is going to take, at least. Off to do stuff.

Russonc: 40 minutes tops (he says wishfully)
I'll gladly be wrong.

JohnnyDollar: I don't see 3 hours. If it's 3 hours then you'll kiss his ass. I mean...
This will not take 3 hours. I'd give it 1 hour and a half MAX. It is selling at a decent pace, and started off with 900 copies to boot.

moonshineshadow: I agree, really great books, only fear I sometimes have is that the author will die before finishing since it always takes him a very long time to write the next book...

EX-Deimon: ROFL!!!
No really, this guy is over 65 and the first book of the series was written 1996... if he keeps this slow pace...

I'm the same way. I read The Dark Tower in high school, and started the second book. Then I read an interview with King saying he wouldn't be able to finish the series he had in his head before he died of old age, so I stopped reading them. Now that he's finished, I need to start over. :)

FreDDaN: Seems like everywhere I go people are talking about game of thrones,
breaking bad or the walking dead. Seriously I hear about them almost EVERYWHERE!
Feel the same way, lol..

deekaan: So in around 20 or so years he'll be done, .. probably.

Velgor: I really wish you were wrong, but considering the first book came out in 1995, you may be far too close to reality that we'd like. Also a point to consider is that, I believe, book 3 was split into two due to the involved plot and George R R Martin's idea to focus on one side of the world and then the other. He said the work was done and the next book should quickly follow. It took 5 years for the next book to follow. FIVE YEARS. And it was "done." So, now, allegedly, book 6 is finished and the final, book 7 being written. Well, let's just say I am NOT holding my breath on seeing either any time soon.

What saddens me too, is the fact that Mr. Martin is getting up there in years and I genuinely fear he may not live long enough to see his magnum opus finished.
Here's hoping he finishes it in his lifetime, as he doesn't want any other authors finishing it for him:

Khalaq: Well, these are the people I know who were waiting for Nexus but missed it:

AttObl
getohesch
tjfrit01

Seeing as how I'm poor, I was only able to buy one additional copy, and that one is going to AttObl. I wish I could do more, but our economy sucks at the moment. Sorry, guys.
No problem. Thanks for helping someone out! Crazy that they only offered 300 copies with the other games that are getting 600+...
I actually prefered the AoW series to HOMM, but it's probably just a matter of taste. Both series are different, and I enjoy both.

For thsoe who aren't familiar, the AoW series includes:

Age of Wonders
Age of Wonders II
Age of Wonders II: Shadow Magic

The second one has downloadable campaigns you can get from the community.
The last one has a map editor included and might be considered the most "complete" of the series. Lots of stuff from the community for the third.
yay,been waiting for this one. Hopefully I can get Space Colony before I go to work ^_^

or maybe Omerta or Cognition show up that will last 4 hours while im at work ^_^
Does anyone know how many are left?

I read the first three and stopped, not sure why. I loved The Gunslinger but after that I didn't enjoy them all so much as they went on. One day I'll get back to them.

EX-Deimon: I really recommend reading the GoT books (A Song for Ice and Fire). There are currently 5 out at the moment and the author is currently writing the next 2 books. If you enjoy GoT, don't waste time and buy the books, they are great That way, you will avoid spoilers online.

The books are very well written, each chapter is from a characters' point of view which makes a nice change. Love it.

It happened with the Wheel of Time series. Robert Jordan died before he could finish it, a real shame.
Brandon Sanderson did a decent job writing the last books though, but I can't help but wonder how it would have been if RJ had finished the books himself.

Look at what happened to Robert Jordan. Personally, I couldn't get past his lame characters and their constant emoting, but it was kind of sad to see an author die before they finish their work.
460ish left....time to pop over to Steam and see what's on their daily sale....be back in a minute!

At least he knew he was dying and left copious notes and outlines to follow for finishing it. Still sad that he died before finishing though.
