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

Anyone hoping more for Insomnia than GOG Galaxy? (im starting to realise it will have limited appeal to me... at least based on what we seem to know already.....)

CarrionCrow: Found something Insomnia-related that's pretty funny. Not sure how saturated it is, but it's amusing to read if you haven't seen it before.
No clue how to embed links, so I'll just put this here for people to copy/paste -

Laughed hard seeing how long GOG originally thought the first Insomnia would run for.

"How to link"-manual:
- Mark the word(s) in which you want to embed the link... In this case it shall be the word EXAMPLE ;) When its marked push the link button...
- Now you see this: "[urI=EXAMPLE]EXAMPLE[/urI]" ... Mark the first EXAMPLE and paste your copied link - in this case "www.gog.com"... of course ;)
- Now you see this: "[urI=www.gog.com]EXAMPLE[/urI]" ... Now you have embedded your link into the word EXAMPLE.... Post your Message... Done! :)

Edit: "There were some blockers we didn't expect," Klapovsky said. "I still remember the game Jack Keane 2, that appeared during the night European time, and it postponed the next game for six hours or so."
I had to laugh a couple times, but also to ponder about their words... Thanks for the link! :)
You're quite welcome, and thank you in return for taking the time to type out the on-the-fly tutorial. Much appreciated. =)

+1.
I mostly play on a PC without any internet access. I have no interest in GoG galaxy.
Why so many users expect galaxy to come up this week?
Did GoG give any clue?

Would have to say Insomnia more than Galaxy as well. Hoping it comes out relatively hitch-free considering how much people at GOG are working on it, but I just don't do multiplayer. At all. Ever.

I think there was a bit of confusion earlier. Some installer sizes were changing because of the French language stuff being added to them. People were also seeing additional bits on newer installers mentioning Galaxy client components, tried putting the two occurrences together and thought the size changes were a result of them being prepped to run on Galaxy.
Judas said it'd be clear in a couple days, but he didn't mention anything about the site changes or the installer language additions because he couldn't without getting himself in serious trouble. So I think it was assumed that he was referring to Galaxy since noone was really expecting what GOG actually did.

Disclaimer - Could be completely off in my storytelling, but I think that's how things happened.

Whenever they launch Galaxy, they'll probably release with it exclusive games that take advantage of its multiplayer capabilities. I'm thinking X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter and/or X-Wing Alliance will be among them.

Played neither game. Didnt they have strong single player campaigns however?.

Calling the first launch title for Galaxy right now - My Little Pony in Neon Carnage Adventures. The mechanics of Thrill Kill for the Playstation, only instead of freaks and weirdos, all the characters look like talking horses with hideous skin conditions.

Not a problem. Hoping that didn't come out as barely coherent word salad nonsense, was trying to type and make sense before my eyes were even fully open.
Someone else also think that tomorrow is The Day?
Has it been hinted that there will be another edition of the promo this year? I have not followed GOG's posts, twits or whatever they use to spill the beans.

ImASinistar seemed to think maybe on a Wednesday possibly (was it so last time?)
