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...

SkeleTony: Why anyone bothers with Chrome and IE and such is beyond me. Firefox is still the best browser by far.

ReynardFox: Well then you'll be in for shock when you update firefox then, the latest version has been turned into a chrome clone.
I got a shock this morning when I started up FF. I thought someone had replaced it with chrome. It was a pain trying to figure out how to get it back to normal.

drelbs: Slow and steady wins the race, mate!
Not interested in snail races.
Wow Goodbye Deponia went buy fast
Does anyone have a list of what games have passes on this round so far? I'm assuming we're in round three right now - have we passed by Valdis Story yet?

I turned off autoupdates because i had prior warning. But if I have to update for some reason it's a good thing someone already made a classic theme restorer add-on.
Time commando! Heartily recommended, good arcade fun.
Goodbye Deponia :)
Finally got it here. Especially because the German Version is available.

How is the Freebie-System working? I click on every offer and if I'm lucky I have it instantly in my Library?
I thought following the pattern Cognition would be next but guess the pattern is really breaking up. Thankful though as I wanted Goodbye Deponia and am still on the fence about Cognition.

marianne: I've heard good things re Chrome, but I've never heard anything good about IE and strongly dislike it. :(( I'm a Firefox fan and love it.
What I have most against Chrome is the way so many "freeware" programs want to install it when they are themselves installed. That assault on my computer makes is at least quasi-malware for me.

Still round 2.
I really must link this review i found on gog on Time Commando.

Style over substance

My brother bought an EA Classics CD version of the game years ago, so naturally I got to play it too. The game is an above-average brawler, but not much more. The idea is neat, but it all boils down to repetitive fighting through all the short stages, with the graphics being (at the time) the high point of the game. The game itself is pretty short, only a few hours total. I guess for its time, Time Commando is what's now called "a game for graphics whores". Maybe worth it for a quick blast, but not much more.

musteriuz: I've tried Firefox a few times and it just doesn't do it for me.
Which do you like ? It's good to know what everyone likes, just in case> :-)

Yeah, I had to use that plugin to customize it back to the way it was.
