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...

The 3rd sign that you've been staring at the home page too long...

Someone suggested the soccer ball might be a hacky sack. But then we have to question why the ladybug is as big as a bike wheel.

Edit: not as big but about 1/4 as big.

It's a perspective thing, as it sits on the widget, which is positioned closer to us than the field on which the ball rests.

That, or as an encore to this sale, GOG will release a plague of giant ravenous ladybugs that will consume us all.

The lady bug is closer than the ball it seems

Because it grew up near Fukushima!
Think the basket is also the same size as the bike wheel
There better be a fantastic game after Theme Park - something like Space Quest 4/5/6? I've sat through Gomo and Theme Park just today. Pretty please, GOG?

But Theme Park is FANTASTIC! Why does nobody else see this :'(
Surely there are 250 people with a measly $1.50. Hell Im buying one right now and I don't even want it.
Anyone has $360 to spare?

I swear it's not for booze.

Exactly. You have to look at it like the game title and price etc is on a floating platform way up high above the field and the ladybug is on the platform. If you could see the picture in 3d it would make sense.

Nothing against the game itself - but 1200 copies? But yes, I'm GOG's bitch - I'll buy a copy. It looks like fun and I loved Bullfrog back in the day.
The grass looks wrong, it looks like real grass but it's too long and kind of flat.
