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

Melhelix: O Great and Powerful GOGLords! Hear our prayer
Mighty TET, stalwart G-Doc, nimble Judas
Wise TurnipSlayerr, friendly Coala, and all of the supreme GOG Pantheon
Strike down this abomination, this blight upon the sales!
Remove this Jack Keane from your sight that the Baldur's Gates and the Shelters
The Don't Starves and the Deus Exs might once more take their proper places among the noble sales
Let the people rejoice with diversity of games offered, cast out this stagnation!
And let the money once more flow into thy coffers and make the lands replete with joy and prosperity.

Seriously though, its sold 23 copies in 52 minutes. This is tragic. And boring. :P
Maybe the GOGLords are testing us, to see if we are foolish enough to buy Jack Keane.....



Well, we are not; please move on to the next game!!!!!
I suppose by the time Jack Keane 2 sold out GOG.com has by then already supported Linux.

RichterSnipes: I thought this was supposed to be the "Insomnia" promo. Jack Keane 2 is just having the opposite effect on everyone. Unless you count those of us fixated on how boring a deal it is, LOL.

In that case, congrats GOG?
Its a showstopper. Literally....

McDon: Meh, I pretty much have all those games you mentioned :P
You have to admit though, they all have much higher turn over rates than this. Then again a dead squirrel probably has a higher turnover, so that's not saying much. The point is... uhm... oh! Right, the point is that anything that gets this gestalt moving again would be a plus. :)
i hope jack aint burnt into my screen after this
Just 73 more guys.

Heh, well, it is called Jack Keane: The Fire Within.
Funny thing is, Jack Keane 2 actually sold surprisingly quickly earlier today. Now...

This game looks like a bad Monkey Island fan fic as envisioned by the dev team behind Limbo of the Lost. And they charge 30 friggin' dollars to begin with? And are so cocksure that their game is such a masterpiece people will buy it for $12? Actually if this game were sold for free, I'd probably be able to pick up a copy. That's how much the public cares about having Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within in their gaming libraries.

Shame no System Shock 2 on this list :)
There really should be some sort of mercy rule in this.... though I have to wonder, are people buying this or is someone at GOG slowly moving the counter down out of pity......
It's Half-Life 3's 14th birthday, hurry it up -_-
