Insomnia returns to GOG.com.


[i]BREAKING TOO: You bought all the classics. Nice! Fresh new games are taking over both streams until all units are gone. We're getting there, so be quick!
[/i]


BREAKING: Doomsday projections of an impending worldwide caffeine shortage reported, as the hyper-popular Insomnia promo returns to GOG.com. Last spotted in May of 2014, the "greatest promo ever" has since transformed into a phenomenon most accurately described as "Double Insomnia". GOG.com's best men have been unable to fully comprehend the nature of this beastly transformation so far. Preliminary research indicates, however, that its effects are relatively benign.




Welcome back, sleepless friends. Against everyone's better judgement, the hyperactive promo returns to GOG.com with twice the everything. The Double Insomnia Promo will feature more games than ever, and two simultaneous pools: Seasoned classics and Fresh new titles. If you know how this works you're probably trembling with anticipation already (or is it fear?), but if you're just joining us... well, you'll still probably make it out okay.

What's all the hullabaloo about? All sales are offered in limited quantities, and the number of copies remaining is labeled with a huge counter on the front page. There are two pools, and only one game from either pool can be on sale at one time. Once a game sells out, another will immediately take its place so that two are always available. If you missed your chance, fear not but keep your eyes open! Your favorite one will probably be back. Insomnia mercilessly goes on, day and night, until every single unit is gone - like a carousel of deals. You might even have a chance to get a free game, if you're lucky that is.

I wish they would bring it back. The entertaining value is priceless.

And it was fine with two deals running at the same time.

They maybe are. Look what they just posted in the latest headline about the new storing the credit card feature:

We hope the feature turns out to be particularly useful soon, when you may just feel compelled to click really, really fast.
I'm only hoping if that's true it's happening this week and not the next one when I'll be traveling out of country...

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this thread but then I realized it was last year's thread.

Did you see the line at the end of the "Storing Payment Information" announcement? Implied Insomnia is coming soon...

I just hope it's "soon" as in the next week or so and not "soon" as in three weeks from now I'm still having the shakes waiting for that magic day when I load up GoG and there it is ;)

I think it implies a sale is coming soon but not necessarily an insomnia one.

Have we turned into drug addicts? What's going on here?

GOG, you amazing hunks. Your marketing is so precise that your costumer base now suffers physical withdrawals from a lack of sales. Well played.

I shamelessly admit I'm a huge fan of Insomnia. I like BSing about games in the thread, I like waiting and wondering what the next game to go up will be. Hell, I even like nearly burning dinner as I run to the computer between "steps" of preparing a meal. I give everyone a "heads up" that I'll be doing a bit of running back and forth for a day or so, and that I'll be like a yo-yo attached to the computer.

I also admit it's easy to do with GoG, because I like them as a company. I... really don't "like" many companies at all - they're there to provide a service and 9 times out of 10 I feel like they do as little as possible to provide the least service at greatest expense to me. So far, GoG has struck me as different in that regard. Not to say that they'll always be that way but in my time here I've been nothing but pleased.

I guess we all should quit posting in here... oh, dang it.
I only hope it happens before university starts again so i can put all of my attention on the frontpage.
You @#$%^@#%@, stop bumping this!

Oops.
WOW! JUST WOW!!!

The last sentence on the announcement DEFINITELY implies an Insomnia. You don't have to "click really, really fast" in any of the other sales we've had. Cause you got 24 hours for all the others (at least).
Unless we have another sale that is named something different and has sharp and small time restrictions.

ANY SALE IS GOOD FOR ME. BRING IT ON GOG
If its soon... it probably wont be til a tue/wed/thu i reckon.....
