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

Wait a minute... maybe Zeffyr is a robot in disguise O_o

Artificer: For a while, I was kicking my own ass by equipping too much Blood gear.

Turns out you do actually need a health pool, particularly for those special little moments like accidentally skipping your butt across a spike room.

rtcvb32: I know, meaning you have to balance it out.

Unfortunately you also have a Max based on how much armor you can equip (I think I can do 80 or so right now), and the better armor weighs more.

Course if you are a vampire you have to be careful since you can gain extra hp, but you can also convert half of your HP to mana all the way down where you have 1/1 HP, which is kinda funny.
I've never managed to convert it down that far, it always tells me I've hit a limit.

Of course, I've tossed notably more than you have into weight gain. I think at your level I was already at 140 so I could equip all Knight gear plus a Blood piece.

Sounds like your problem may be weight-related. You really, really need that better gear ASAP.

archi_fsb: Couldn't buy the only game I wanted (NWN Platinum) because of high server load. Too bad, GOG.com. I will get it soewhere else.

Well, I grabbed two. Freebies. I'm not Slav. Pretty sure I'm not a bot... So there's hope, I guess...

He's a Robotic Priest Fairy :)

Artificer: That's your third, Zeffyr. Stop cheating. Or being Polish. Whichever applies in this situation.
avatar
Frostyfirefly: +1
Unpolish yourself right now :p
I'm extremely amused that you SAID +1 but didn't actually physically rate the post up =P

Welcome to the internet...

de_Monteynard: Is it even humanly possible to grab the free games, even if you have an excellent internet connection? Even with the mouse pointer on the buy button and clicking immediately, the offer is taken up before the system recognises my request. God damned robots. In my day, you didn't need to have augmented reflexes to grab something quickly enough.
avatar
Frostyfirefly: It's a conspiracy, where bots and Polish people work together to get all the free games!
First, all the free games. Later, the whole world...

Are you saying that Zeffyr is... a Transformer??

doady: Saw several free games, but wasn't able to get a single one. This is honestly the most annoying "promo" ever. A waste of time, nothing more.
This promo isn't all about freebies, you know? It's not like they got a huge sale going on.
I got Assassin's Creed code. Trading for several cheaper games that are on promo:
Thief 2: Metal Age $1.99
Thief 3: Deadly Shadows $1.99
Total Annihilation: Kingdoms $1.49

I also got Jade Empire code. Saving it for now, unless you want it for Theif 2+3 :D.

Is each game showing up twice and that's it?
Let me see if I'll be lucky enough to see Anvil of Dawn up again.....

Nesoo: Are you saying that Zeffyr is... a Transformer??
Yes, he's more than meets the eye. But instead of turning into a car, he turns into a freebie nabbin brunette man with a smug smile O_O

gbaz69: Thank you very much!.
You're very welcome :)
If the next game doesn't interest me I'm logging off for the night. Hoped to get a few more games than the 2 I got, but this whole promo is infuriating me.
