Jack is Life! Jack is Love! The Keaning is happening!

Most sales are just that: some nice deals, tons of games, some flowery marketing talk about those deals. Nothing more, nothing less. As you know, last year we ran our Fall Insomnia Promo with the usual expectations that follow a typical sale.

The Insomnia Promo was different. Very, very different. It morphed into something beyond our wildest expectations. Entire communities were staying awake for this sale. The RPG Codex was busily snapping up and all classic RPGs. 4chan's very own /v/ put aside their usual bickering about which console was best and started trying to find The Pattern (sorry guys, you didn't crack it :^) ). Meanwhile, Jack Keane acquired a cult following (JACK IS LOVE! JACK IS LIFE!) all the while collecting a flurry of 5 star reviews where gamers documented all sorts of miraculous manifestations of Jack's blessing in their lives. Lastly, the Insomnia promo garnered its own entry on our [url=http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/the_return_of_the_insomnia_sale]wishlist.

Welcome to our Spring Insomnia Sale! Back by popular demand*, we will be putting up 100 games in limited quantities** with discounts up to 90%. We'll have more games for sale than Noah had animals in his ark. Indies. Classics. Classic indies, even. All kinds of games for all kinds of gamers. However, you have to be fast, faster than those Polish script kiddies*** lurking outside our offices so they can get 0.1 ms of ping!

We did change things up a bit this year. While checking out, keep an eye peeled for a random chance to get a free game. Yes, this time there will be no more split second freebies so everyone has an equal chance :)

*why would you do this to yourselves, you mad fools?!?!
**yes, we know that all games are being distributed digitally and quantities can be infinite, just roll with it, ok?
***it was a common theory that all the free games were being snatched up by Polish hackers. We don't have any hackers here in Poland, we deported them all...somewhere...
And they can get skyrim close to film cgi quality if you have a ridiculous pc
Thank you for the info! ^_^

Still no LBA2. That's good. info :)
Which game will be next one? My guess Blitzkrieg Anthology! :)
No, no ! :P i hope for Inquisitor
Also some mods fix bugs that aren't fixed by official patches. If you ever play Skyrim it's a must to get the unofficial patch mods.

No way, it's gonna be Hammerwatch for sure.

(or is that "no way it's gonna be hammerwatch for sure...")

This can hardly be considered a "guess" :)
Rather, a reasonable conclusion based on the available data :)
About time some Sam & Max shows up.

musteriuz: Another term (mods) I have never been able to fully comprehend or try to apply on any game ever. How does it work? Is any of it any good or useful or necessary? Where does one go to obtain the best? I only stick to gog patches thus far.

CorranHorn: Sry, mods means modification and it´s not necessary at all but I do recommend getting some once you played the game (some prefer to play old games without them to get the true "old school" feeling others prefer playing the games with them). There are different kinds of mods, some enhances the actual game others changes the game completely (often called TC as in Total Conversion).

A game like Jedi Knight : Outcast is still very playable without any mod but a game like Dark Forces takes some time to get used to. With a mod, like the one for Dark Forces, it plays much more like modern games.

In short, mods are awesome and most of the time completely free for anyone who owns the game. Red Orchestra started out as a mod and so did Counter Strike.
Thank you for the further info. Is there some kind of dedicated website where one can find a list of games for which mods are available, a list of the mods available and some kind of reviews of the mods to determine whether they are any good or not (like a metacritic for mods)?
Edit: counterproductive

Maybe, it is random. But I read somewhere regarding the pairs thing. Who knows?
