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

just for this thread, it's worth the sale

Thanks people, Thanks GOG
Hopefully Duke Nukem will come out before I have to head out in a few hours.

gogbot: I have a question along these lines as well. Does the GOG Downloader recognize if there is a new version and/or extras and only download them if they are indeed newer?
avatar
belaur: If you keep the files and always download to the same location where they're kept, the GOGdownloader skips over files that are already present and haven't changed.
Cool. Thanks.
I hate it when I accidently refresh the main page and have to watch the sale number scroll back down.

Also whats the correct spelling? Accidently or Accidentally? The forums spell checker says its Accidentally which means Ive been misspelling it my entire life.
Thanks to all the people who participated in my little boring clue digging game.
Depending on how things go from here out. I might still have one title let to give out, though I won't make any promises yet.

Depends,
in English it is Accidentally
in Simplified English (American) it is Accidently

trustymutsi: Yeah, my strategy had been: Go to bed at 2am, wake up every 15-20 minutes, or 30min - 1 hour (depending on the game), check the sale, repeat. Had to sleep on the couch so I didn't wake the wife.

Amazingly, last night I decided "Screw this, I'm going to bed. I just wish I could wake up on command in the middle of the night," and I woke up at 4am without an alarm to check the site.

Then I woke up this morning JUST in time to get NWN 1 :)

arcusc: Impressive! Let's just say I need to change the alarm sound on my phone, otherwise from now on I'll always wake up thinking I'm about to buy yet another discounted game.
I've been awake as much as possible, going bed only when i was really tired and some very slow selling title showed up. I overslept twice, despite the alarm, but i was lucky enough not to miss any title i was interested in.

Stooner: Booo!
What BG2 has to do with HOMM5? ;p
avatar
KMJX: Both are quite the big name classics (like most games on my missed list)
Don't worry, I'm just messing around... also, "classic" isn't really a hint here... ;p
Thanks for the fun!
