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

Phew... Have missed nothing that I've wanted since Theme Hospital :) How much time took Leisure Suit Larry till it was gone?

And there flashed up six Magrunners as a freebie

Johnmourby: Only 8 free copies of Magrunner. oohhhhh. They need more copies of the free games to make them fair. Even 200 copies would vanish in seconds :(
avatar
BastienN: Yes, everyone is clicking without seeing so I think even 200 will go in 1 second maybe less
well --- think of freebies as a bonus --- it's extremely difficult to get one

mawihtec: ok ill be back in an hour puddle should be nearly finished by then
Me too, if a wild Jade Empire appears in that time, please, grab a copy for me
Huh, so Jade Empire hasn't shown up yet?

I'm glad I chose to sleep.

Though I do have to go to my classes today.....

At least there are unlimited free copies of Tyrian 2000.I guess.
When I played the Puddle demo with a gamepad, I couldn't help but feel that it was designed for mobile devices where you can actually tilt the whole thing. Without that physical control, it kind fell flat.

zlep: How playable are Tomb Raider 1-3 these days? I've always avoided them, because I heard the control was clunky. But people say the same about Resident Evil's controls, and I find the game rises above that (though you'll still hear me screaming "Zombie! Turn you idiot, turn!!" while I play. :-))
That's largely subjective I imagine as the games were immensely popular so people enjoyed them enough in the day, I know I did although I never finished any of them. I picked them up a couple days ago though so I can start at the beginning of the series and work my way up through the franchise over time as I've got the new Tomb Raider and it is mind boggling awesome and resparked my interest in the franchise. :) The controls in the original game were fine to me or I wouldn't have played them at all I imagine. One would have to try it out themselves I imagine to see if they feel the same though.

I am mostly a keyboard/mouse player, but I do have a Logitech cordless Rumblepad 2 here that such games might work well with, and if not I'll just use kbd/mouse. I've got a Logitech G600 so lots of buttons to assign to shit, makes games old and new shine. ;o)
Let's hope GOG make a recap mentioning the new buzzword...

Hum, should this be keaned so it won't happen? :)
