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

Coffee time
Lucius. Well it's time for everyone to quickly go eat, have a poop or a wank, whatever you've been itching for or putting off. It won't be as bad as JK2 at least.

BeorntheBear: While I can understand the desire for GOG to have a few instances where they give away an unlimited number of a game for free for a few minutes, the discount rate is so high on dozens of great games (System Shock 2, Deus Ex: GOTY, Ultimate Underworld 1+2, Wing Commander IV, etc.) that it feels like stealing.

I still maintain that this is the best sales event ever on GOG and I extremely pleased with how the staff of GOG set this up.
I fully agree. It's been really bad for my sleep, eating and productivity, though :)

sirchaox1224: I want to take a 4 hour break, can I request fifty copies of Jack Keane 2 next?

:P

kklsid: Why yes, of course.

Where do you want them delievered? Are you paying cash?
If I accidentally ordered fifty copies of that game... I would have this face IRL: ;[
If BG2 is next would anyone like to trade for SS2?
Lucius: still doing better than Jack Keane 2.
Not that big a deal to me, if I don't get games free, or the real quick sales. I have enough games to play! But, it just seems odd to me, when you click immediately, and have no shot.

I did manage to buy Shadowman and WC:Privateer, on the cheap......so, it's all good. Just more to add to my games backlog. I'm still stuck playing Diablo 2:Eastern Sun and Diablo 1: The Hell:) Well, stuck wouldn't be the word....I love them too much, for too long...well, that and Civ 4.

Are you saying that Jack Keane 2 isn't the most grand game ever?
How long did the infamous Jack Keane 2 sale last :)?
