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

mudd1: Pretty surprising how slow Witcher 2 is, given how many people have been eagerly awaiting it for days.
Very surprised aswell. Either a vocal minority, or less people are able to check since it's not the weekend.

wrathsinger: Any way you like. Just mind that if you finish W1 first you can export your save to W2.

keef0723: How does this work? What exactly gets transferred over?

SHould I buy TW2? I DID just buy it 3 days ago for $20...... on steam, but i managed to pick up TW1 earlier today/yesterday....
No, you need not. Just finish W1, start a new game of W2 and it should give you the option to import the saves.
Transferred are the choices (like the Stryga dilemma's outcome), some equipment.... probably.

snip3rfire: 400 copies of The Witcher 2 remain. Gonna be a lot of broken hearts out there who were hanging out but missed this round.

xerox2k4: how about we buy a bunch of gift copies for the people that missed it?
Because every person buying the game right now wants to keep it for themselves.

2013Torchlight: I want 3 games from this sale : Jade Empire: Special Ed $2.99 / Spellforce Platinum $2.49 and Thief Gold $1.99. Hmmm and how many games have we went through by now? 89 or 90 in this 3 waves of games (last chance). And not 1 single 1 of em have been up for sale yet !!!......... that's just plain evil ^^. And what are the chances even for that to happen ..........

GOG please!!! give us some of the good once, and take the slow burners LAST .......

Coelocanth: I missed Expeditions:Conquistador when it first showed up. Been waiting ever since, but starting to think it's not coming back.
It's a good game, though I haven't finished a full play-through yet. It got patched when I was about halfway through and I haven't gotten back to starting a new game yet.
Yes, I finally got the only game I wanted from this sale.:D The 3 days spent staring at the GOG main page was worth it. I went out today when Tom Raider was there and when I came back The Witcher 2 was on, thanks to whatever game that keaned in the middle. :P
I've been here too long, a lot of users switched, and a new set of people arrived, who where here 10-12 hours ago.

o_o still have to wait until the very end to see that nothing will happen and the sale will just end.

I am glad I already bought most of the games I wanted during the second round (bought 16 games). Right now I am waiting for Jade Empire and HOMM3. But I have a feeling that these games will show up during the night like Alpha Centauri did last night :-(.
I already own the physical limited edtion of Witcher 2, so i'm passing on this.

this thread probably represents a very small cross section of the buyers on gog, but that just means we're all special

Yeah, it was one of the handful on my wishlist when the sale started. The timing when it showed up was wrong for me (I believe I was out of the house at the time). Thought it would cycle through a second time long before this, but as I said, I'm starting to think this one may not be coming around again at all.

On a side note, I don't know which is more addictive: the sale or this freaking thread itself. *sigh* I have so much work to do around the house today and here I sit at my computer.
Anyone know where one can find a cleanly playable copy of Wing Commander: Armada? I remember a game from back in the day that I absolutely LOVED to play (part strategy/building and part space dogfight). I'm 99.9% sure it's WC:A. Can you think of any other titles that were similar that it may have been? Know where I can get a readily playable copy of WC:A?

Thanks a million!
