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

Even in the grip of the Time Machine sale, the Insomnia thread lives...
Best sale, E.V.E.R. Insomnia 2.0 is okay, but doesn't quite have the same flavor.
It's still alive... unbelievable! (I'm happy about it :)
I hope to god you people haven't been up since November!

probably waiting here for the next sale or something silly insomnia sale fan

What do you mean "since November"? Is it December already? Sheesh. Alright, one more round of that Time Machine thing and I'll go take a nap.
The Time Machine sale has ended, pale shadow of Insomnia that it was. Time for this thread to LIVE AGAIN!

I don't think any sale will ever match the Insomnia sale, unless GOG brings someone new in to take charge of sales.

Loved the insomnia sale....!
I actually did not participate in the Time Machine sale, simply because of the timing of it (see what I did there? :-P). Since it was during the middle of the week with no advance warning, it was mostly just check now and then. Did not even read the posts that much (but will try at some point).

This sale was done over a weekend, and that greatly improved my chances of participating. The first two days were during the week as well, so I did not participate much. However, come Friday end of business, I was glued here until the end.

Timing matters (unless you want to give us Time Machines GOG so we can be in two places at once?).
I vote for a reboot of the Insomnia Sale in March. :D

You have my vote...and my axe!

I'm starting to think that Autumn Insomnia Sale was great the way it was conceived. I criticized it for not having a time limit for every sale but in fact that was great. We need Keanes for sleeping .... and other stuffs.

Put 100 or more games on sale and let the madness begin!
Personally I'm holding out for the somnolence sale.

How will that be? Something opposed to the Insomnia Sale? The more you sleep the more games you gain? :)

You have my vote! And my... vial of green, oozing liquid!
GOG should host a week long Jack Keane sale on the side just for a laugh. Put both games on sale for 75% off, or 80% or more if you buy both of them, with every purchase extending the sale by 15 minutes or so.
