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...
/me is waiting on the $ transfer from the bank to Paypal and the promos pass me by.

I got 2 or 3 freebies and I live in the Netherlands. So much for your 0,1 ms polish master race. I got Assasin's Creed for free. =D

Well this time you can get your purchased game for free at the checkout.
If you are lucky.

Dear Betrayal at Kondor Pack,

Why are you not Windows 8 compatible?

No, you can't go back to sleep yet:)
NOOOO!

Betrayal at Krondor!

I wanted to re-buy that for a while, but if I do I'm sure something else I want more immediately will pop up and I won't have the funds.

Why does GOG always have sales when I'm short on cash?
Ah crap another one of these. There goes my sleep. JK I love these, Im just gonna be a sleep deprived zombie for awhile =P

Damn seems I missed Lone Survivor =( Does anyone know if there will be a second round?

undeadcow: Over-exaggerating elements of a sale like this seem scary; but in reality there's been no reported deaths resulting from the insomnia sale. As a licensed mental health practicioner able to diagnosis addictive disorders; I support the Insomnia sale as a divergent fun, an escape, and counter with the benefit of breaching stress with a little bit of silly fun. There's no need to take life so seriously - doing something "crazy" like following an over the top sale or staying up all night can be healthy every now and then.
No reported deaths? You tell me I'm over-exaggerating (which is from personal experience.) then take it one step further yourself.

Lack of sleep can be very dangerous, especially in those of us with bipolar, schizophrenia & it's offshoots, depression and a whole host of other mental illnesses. As a 'mental health practitioner' you should be aware of this.

Statistics : I suspect you are short of cash more often than not ? ;)
(and GoG might have something to do with this )
