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

thepatt: I'm hoping the "keaning" (and derivatives) enter regular usage in the 'real' world.

keane - verb.

1. to take way, way way longer to finish than expected.

2. to be momentarily unpopular.
I approve.
Hi there! Can someone tell me please if Jade Empire is still to come? :)

Khalaq: I'm hanging in there, albeit probably not following the forums the entire time. I expect Psychonauts to go quite quickly.

htown1980: But doesn't everyone own it already?
I've asked my self that same question about quite a few of these Insomnia Sale games.


Ironically most of those titles that I think "Everyone has this one" are games I don't actually own myself.

Oh yeah, First name... And evidently I can't spell Riker.

Nope as far as we know only game left is Pyschonauts

VampiroAlhazred: Nooo I missed Thief 2 again!
there may be a lot of trading at the end, there has been talk of specific thread being created just for the post Insomnia codes, so you could always grab one of the last games as a gift to find an exchange

stevieknix: I think the third round of sales lasted about three days.
Sounds right. I woke up this morning expecting the sale to have ended over night, but then, I also woke up yesterday morning thinking the sale would be over that evening... I suspect many of the quantities in the third round were a bit too high.

The sale more or less turned into a spectator sport (as my husband dubbed it) for us last night after we were able to grab La Mulana, which was the last title we were waiting for. As it is, I still find Spellforce pretty tempting, but after adding up our purchases earlier tonight I think I've bought enough for one (very long) weekend... This is the trouble with being married to a gamer -- there's a lack of collective self-control in sales like these. I definitely grabbed titles I otherwise wouldn't've without my husband urging me onwards...!
Spellforce Platinum
Only Psychonauts to come
This sale's nearly done

(edited, because I can't count :)

4 days. The third round started somewhere before the 10k post. I have spent way too much time on this...
I'm going to sleep. Anyone want to trade Jade Empire for Psychonauts?
