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...

jackster79: Aaaannnddd... with that, seems I must head to work. I do not expect this sale to still be continuing, let alone still having to sell the ones I am looking for in 10 hours time, so... once again I bid good luck to those that remain watching and waiting.

Cheers!

KIDjimov: Any chance for BROKEN AGE SEASON PASS and/or DIVINITY: DRAGON COMMANDER?

Or did i miss those completely?
Completely. Missed "Broken Age" too. I think I'll purchase it later, when they release the second season.
Anyone else out there who wasn't prepared for the Insomnia Sale and is now literally running out of food?

artyom_yakovlev: I've just bought "Bard's Tale". I dunno why (I'm a fan of quest and adventure games) but for some reason this one was on my wishlist.
Did I do the right thing?
The newer Bard´s Tale is a satire and it jokes with modern RPG´s, the old Bard´s Tale are classics. I only tried the new BT for a few minutes but I can tell this is a game right up my ally.

skeletonbow: Noooooooo! Please tell me it didn't show up and disappear in the hour or so since I took a break!
Me too, I'm now waiting since 3 days and always missed it

Dunno about the first one, but Dragon Commander is done ... I missed that one too. :) Pretty much have to sit here 24/7 checking every 2-3 minutes at least to not miss something. :)

moonshineshadow: Sorry to say but it did, it was gone quickly (~25min).

skeletonbow: Ah crap, it must have showed up like 5 minutes after I got occupied with something else. ;o/ Ah well, Summer Sale ain't far off, maybe it will show up again there. Hopefully I can still catch Inquisitor at least.

defender23: Me too, I'm now waiting since 3 days and always missed it
Yeah, I missed a few... Rise of the Triad, Dragon Commander, Bard's Tale, Aarklash: Legacy. In each case just by 5-30 minutes or so during a food break, phonecall or tending to some household chore. I did manage to score about 7 others though so I'm did fairly well I suppose. Would be nice if there was a way to configure the site to buy particular titles automatically when they come up for sale. :)
