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

Buenro-games: I wonder...

Edit: Actually I just remembered the case of one generous community member getting frustrated at a beggar because he had just given him some games, and he was back in the forum asking for more. He told the beggar that he had just received Planescape from him and should not be continuously asking for more games. Then some other forum member pops up and says: "Huh, I just gave that guy a Planescape key as well". LOL, some people did abuse it. smh :P
You're not the only one that suspected that. ;)

And there's probably several instances of your example, as I imagine you agree. I guess it's one of those things that isn't enough of a problem to really get our attention given the circumstances.

Seriously, that's it? That belongs on one of those "Worst Game Endings" lists.

I had this vision that after the last game hit zero, GOG was going to flash about 5 freebies across the top half of the front page at the same time.

That would have been one hell of a bang. :)

wackyanne: WTH?! Post-posting rebound leads me to this comment on page 625, from page 713 (or around the 35670 comment mark). I'm from New Brunswick (still here, in fact). Talk about random!

Cheers! :D
Yeah, mine keeps doing that as well.

It kinda gets on my nerves.

And by kinda, I mean Really.

seaspanky: Come on now... This is a good example of what political correctness devolves into. A mere method of control to stifle language to suit the demands of whatever pressure group with an agenda is conveniently pursuing it as a means of control. I talk of civil polite conversations, I get slammed with incivility. Why exactly? Because my opposition to the uncivil strict demands of some worldview based on identity politics MUST mean I am a paragon of "oppression".
No, LIAR. Your false claim that BlueLemon was "uncivil", "strict" and "demanding" brands you as an oppressor and a concern troll.

Love you, and go suck a barrel of lollipops.

Thanks GOG for this exciting promo!

Yeah, I think only the original Mass Effect 3 ending is worse than the GoG Autumn Insomnia Sale ending.
That said the latter was a community driven point-and-click adventure, so at least it was actually fun
(DISCLAMER: not intending to bash on ME3 or insult it's fanbase. I never played ME, and probably never will, not my type of game. But the controversy about the ending was way to loud to overhear even with 0 interest in covershooters)

I think I will take this as my cue to go play Papers, Please or Wasteland. I shall see how many licks it takes to get to the center of those Tootsie Pops
