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

AngryAlien: Random stuff: I am watching Lord of the Rings 3 right now and as always I can´t stop wondering... why the hell did they not use those giant eagles right from the start to fly into Mordor?
Hope you`re watching the "normal" length films.

Someone lent me the looooooong ones & watching all took longer then it did to read all four books.

*cringe*

mkess: Because of the Nine.

AngryAlien: Come on, even with a Nazgul they can´t be everywhere!
.... and the 100.000 Orcs with bows?

mkess: Same goes for me. I will never ever play D3, because I am not able to pay it via. LAN. This concept is a piece of shit. And it's even worse. Some developers don't even know anymore, that they don't need a internetserver for Multiplayergames. Never heard of LAN, dedicated servers and such things. It's horrible.

Ydrisselle: D3 is a co-op game. It's built just like an MMO, so it's much harder to make a working pirate server for the game (if I know well, there isn't a working one yet).
D3 is actually pretty fun game, but multiplayer is screwed yeah, they probably went that way so it can't be cracked (and still it isn't since most of the data is stored on servers, and to "crack" it, you have to rewrite it)

Yeah, but it goes a little deeper than that. I've heard of BattleNet servers barfing sometimes, and of course players get their HardCore characters dying because of it, because of the 1-3 seconds of lag that it takes where you do nothing and you are just getting hammered.

LAN play, it used to be the only network play for a while. I still have fond memories of IPX network connections playing Doom, Carmagedon, Quake Areana. Now I feel old.

Go for the extended releases. They will likely get to Mordor before RotT is done selling if you go that way.

Beg to disagree. D3 is meant to please. But is to eager in it.

With a good server I get like 30ms and yeah wlan (like i said in that routing "diagramm"^^) and I don't have fastpath enabled.
The ~50ms is with gog.com
Slowest movers had been Jack Keane 2 ---------> RTC3/RCR------->ROTT---> Erica ---->Hotline Miami ----> missing any?.

I know this isn't the same author but were the Drizzt series of books great? (if you read it)

Remember Missionforce: Cyberstom's - Play by email option?
Another random movie related question...

You are not allowed a Moquai after midnight or ot starts to spawn Gremlins. But when exactly does "after midnight" end? Technically 11.59 pm and 59 seconds is STILL "after midnight". No wonder those critters are so rare - they all starve to death.

Additionally they made a big mistake, by adding the auction house, and limizting the item drops. This kills the fun completly. And the replay value tends to Zero.
