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

trentonlf: All I'm hoping is that during the summer sale they put the majority of the D&D games up

Would not like to use the news thread because every time a new page is started you have to scroll past the news post :(
They will most than likely put all the D&D games up for sale. If previous sales are anything to go by, you should expect a tiered discount system, eg. the more D&D games you buy the better your discount will be (up to 80% for all 10 games).

jackster79: You know, starting to suffer from, from lack of a better word, "sale fatigue"... I just cannot keep up with all these sales. At some point the leaning tower of backlog is going to tip over and come crashing down on me.

IAmSinistar: I can understand that. I was just noticing this morning that I haven't really bought a bundle in quite a while. Too often I look at them and go "well, there's one game I'd like, but do I really want to add another half-dozen to my collection just because?".

But in the case of Insomnia it's not really the sale aspect that I am missing. It's the community goings-on that happen around it. :)
Oh I agree - that was the best part of Insomnia. That is what makes this thread so special and why I look forward to the next Insomnia.

Cyberevil: Who resurrected this relic?

And what's going on in here?

What's that behind your back? You kids are always up to something! Wait 'til your Father gets home!

HypersomniacLive: This would need to have died first in order to be resurrected - it never did. ;-P
Right - we kept stoking that fire, all through the long night... even made it to a second Insomnia sale. Now I would put another goal out there: Let's keep it going through the next FALL Insomnia sale... and then maybe have them use this thread like was mentioned quite a few recent posts ago... XD Would love to see the reactions of the newcomers when they find out about this thread... :-D

By golly they'll think we've fallen off our rocker ;-)
This was the best ever promo. Wonder who thought up the idea?

Calling the pigs to deal with sasuage? That's gilding the lily. ;)
Hey! I have a sausage flinging license! Don't call the cops on me! :P

*flings more sausage!
*ducks and covers*

Incoming sausage!

Just eat the sausage :/ Come on, it's kielbasa! Don't you like kielbasa?

P.S.: Is this still a thread for a dead sale or is it now the Sausage thread? 0____o

What dead sales and sausages are you talking about? I'm still awaiting for the Keaning to finish. We have been stuck on those 82 copies for seemingly hours.
