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

Chevette: I have the following gift copies of games if anyone missed their chances:

1 Baldur's Gate 1
1 Baldur's Gate 2
1 Planescape: Torment
1 Ultima VII
1 Neverwinter Nights 2
I'd love NWN2. My credit card didn't go through when I tried to purchase it. I'd be willing to trade or to send you money for your troubles.
Have to say that I've been impressed with this sale and this forum; both have been more fun and interesting than I anticipated. Till now I've rarely used my gog account as unfortunately I wasnt around when these older games were new and so I have little nostalgia for them. Despite myself, with the game like element and the wonders of the keaning, the recomendations and the hospitality my wallet is starting to look rather bare. Shame I haven't managed to get any of the free game but you win some you lose some.

Good show GOG/Community

Shadowcat: For fun, I've replaced the Torment details on the home page in my browser with equivalents for Jack Keane 2, just so I can watch 1,500 copies of it fly out the door in mere minutes :)

gogbot: So good! :LOL:
I found that so cathartic that I made a bookmarklet which will automatically Keane-ify the current sale :)

I'm not sure if this will be permitted in the forum, but hopefully this provides a link which you can right-click and bookmark, and then click the bookmark while on the home page:

[url=javascript:(function($){$('.game__box .game__img').attr('src', 'http://static.gog.com/upload/images/2013/06/a8cba1a974d19ace5afd6bb1f332b7f98af7ab2e.jpg');$('.game__title'). html('Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within');$('.game__genre').html('adventure / point-and-click / modern');$('.game__discount').html('60% off');$('.game__price').html('only $11.99');$('.game__save').html('you save $18.00');}(jQuery))();]Keane-ify[/url]

Failing that, here's the code for those who know what to do:

javascript:(function($){$('.game__box .game__img').attr('src', '[url=http://static.gog.com/upload/images/2013/06/a8cba1a974d19ace5afd6bb1f332b7f98af7ab2e.jpg');$('.game__title').html('Jack]http://static.gog.com/upload/images/2013/06/a8cba1a974d19ace5afd6bb1f332b7f98af7ab2e.jpg');$('.game__title').html('Jack[/url] Keane 2: The Fire Within');$('.game__genre').html('adventure / point-and-click / modern');$('.game__discount').html('60% off');$('.game__price').html('only $11.99');$('.game__save').html('you save $18.00');}(jQuery))();

ForgetDeny: Just got up and looked at list of remaining titles and I'm out. Missed out on literally all of things I wanted in the last two days, I hope that GoG never repeat this sale format again it's hugely frustrating for those of us who don't happen to be born in the right timezone.

nijuu: You had 3 shots at buying games mate
I had two shots because of timezones (I was asleep in bed with no knowledge of the sale during the first round), and got throughly Keaned, Eadored, Booked and Rampaged for the bulk of every day.

JustSayin: Annnd? What happens?
That's all I can remember, I think I got it off of a movie. I think it was the Breakfast Club.

Just passing the time now that one of the best selling and most highly rated game has arrived. ;)
