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

nijuu: ;)

How are you guys finding the customer comments on the sale? ;)

TurnipSlayerr: Entertaining! Helpful sometimes too. Although strangely enough I haven't read all 16000+ of them.
Well, give us 1000 copies of Omerta and you'll have more than enough time to get acquainted with The Order of The Keaning and all its habits and rituals.
There's a member here that works at Nordic games, I think. They do have to some good titles, god bless em, but Jack Kean 2 probably isn't one of them. :P

smoother: is NOX on this sale?

nijuu: Nope
thanks.
Mac Mix Max Pack here I come ;)

Kaitu: You at least didn't check in on us hapless troglodytes for a while. :-)

JudasIscariot: Ah that :) Well, I was staying late so I could clear up stuff for next week as it's been hellaciously busy here all of a sudden :D
I thought Jack Keane and Eador the Wizard came and held you hostage ;)

Couldn't imagine why. :-) This forum thread has made this sale so much more fun! :-)

I just registered on this website today, and this thread has kept me entertained throughout the day. For all those AAA publishers that think that PC is the hub of piracy should check the number of games sold on this site. Its amazing so many people are buying copies of games which they already own despite the fact that it is DRM free. There is a huge lesson here that many big companies like EA have yet to learn.

Johnmourby: Question: why do DnD games sell so well round these parts? I get why Plainscape and Baulder's Gate sell so well they're very famous games. But all the DnD games are huge sellers. Famous or not.
Who else but Actors and Gamers do role-playing regularly?

Good Question.
Never understood the NWN hype. Alsways felt a bit... lacking for me.
But as a German I don't have the typical Dungeons & Dragons affinity that others do. Startet my rolepalying "career" with The Dark Eye. Although I despise that game nowadays.

Kaitu: You sure that wasn't a freebie? I have (as sad as this is going to sound) seen every listing since round three started and never saw that one for sale.
avatar
Alien8n: I double checked and the only game I've not seen sell in round 3 was Baldur's Gate 2 and the free version of Sniper Elite, I've watched every single other game since then...
Hmm, according to my email, I got BG2 at 8:36 pm, pst.
I think I got everything I wanted, according to that list-- my backlog is ridiculous, now. I'll still be checking in for possible impulse purchases, but I just want to remind everyone to enjoy the time they will have during the next round of Omerta.

Nah, we played some poker instead :)
I (no exaggeration) almost cried when I saw that you guys had Alpha Centauri + Alien Crossfire. I thought I had lost that game after my backup disks went missing.

Welcome to GoG! :DDD

I am still in awe that people are willing to drop a serious amount of cash on games in the sale.

I'm stuck getting Shadowrun-related things. DnD never appealed to me. The only campaign I did involved a ninja werewolf, a sparkle elf and some guy who refused to speak unless there was combat.
And a coatr- Warforged.
