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...
@Azur9 Haha yea, i thought it was just a little in game thing to add immersion until that happened and i realized it was a sneaky drm :s

ExiL0n: If there's a term that indicates THAT sport, and it's useful not to do confusion, I can't see why I shouldn't use it.
Right now sports can't be divided in countries, it's plain ridiculous, and while "football" denotes MORE than one discipline, "soccer" is unambiguous. I'll keep using it.
italia '90 was the best world cup i remember (all - atmosphere, game approach and so on) ...and the game really wasnt called soccer ;-)

Uzur9: Forgot DA2 used Origin but i did a look and no complete version just a 20$ basic no-dlc game. That game doesn't even have that much in the way of dlc even.

caledhel: I saw it for £3 on amazon a few days ago. I was going to buy but I had no money on my CC. I wouldn't pay much more for it if it's as bad as I've heard.
If you can pick it up cheap then go for it. I enjoyed it for the most part minus some things.

mkess: Same behaviour in IE 9.

Tolmar: I find pressing Ctrl - F5 to force a refresh works fine, although the game count remains static until you refresh again.

Also seeing as we (British) invented and codified football, I think we have the right to call it football. Association football is what Americans call it as they can't call it American football as that's what they call wimpy rugby.
We codified loads of versions of Football, the two that still exist in Britain are Association Football and Rugby Football (which further split into league and union). Eventually Association Football became by far the most popular in the UK so it was shortened to just football. Other versions of football became popular in other places and so in those places they shortened their version to just football.

Nobody can really claim ownership of the word.
I couldn't resist again.. bought RIng Runner because it seemed nice and had good reviews..
Actually, I was wrong. It disappears very fast, although it's really expensive.
Is the game worthwhile?
Mirabile dictu! Just got Divinity: Dragon Commander for free! Never thought it could happen.

Try asking an englishman about "soccer". :)
Only americans may call "football" a sport where you don't play with feet and a ball.

I heard only good things about Dragon Commander.
Grats to those who got Dragon Commander free! that's a fine catch right there!
THIS is the game I'd want to win. Dang it! I'd love to get it, but the reviews seem mish mashed for the price. The sale price is also the name of an awesome Polish band.
Alright then, Deus Ex 2 next then? Could be slow, but we'll see.
