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...

Ha, I'll let you know if I ever hit that threshold. Not yet, so far. :)

For some women, a positive experience of childbirth (known as the Halo effect) will lead them to downgrade their memory of the pain of childbirth.

I wonder if it's the same with Insomnia Sales? I can vaguely remember the anguish and tiredness of having to stay up for nearly 5 days with tiny little catnaps here and there, but this has been eclipsed by the pleasure and gloating that I do over my hoard of games that I bought in the sale.

Although I bought a whole lot more in the Summer Sale, with the flash sales, that was like a mini-Insomnia. Again the gloating and rubbing of hands and chanting "Mine! All mine! My precioussssss!" wins out over the stress.

Am I an idiot for looking forward to a possible Fall Insomnia Sale? O_o

Yes, but no two Insomnia Promos are exactly the same and thus each next one is special.
So long as they come with a couple of fresh ideas, season doesn't matter. :-)
Next one will be a Summer Insomnia Promo? XD
Too bad that I bought everything in the last one (no, not for real luckly lol).

Hello.

The Thief games were on sale 2 weeks ago. The biggest possibility is that they should be discounted during the Christmas sale (begins about halfway December and ends with December).

Hi Grargar,

Thank you for the update, i'm kicking myself for not getting them back during that sale to be honest, i thought i'd play me steam versions but i detest my steam account so now i want to get them here. I will wait for the xmas sale. :)

Can you imagine Insomnia LucasArts edition? It would be over in less than an hour.
