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...

innocuous77: 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?

It looks like those grass textures in games...

Pff, games. Who plays those anyways. I just watch sale bars slowly scroll down for days on end.
Looks like there's plenty of time to go to the shops and source some breakfast. If Theme Park still on when I come back, I swear I will buy a copy. :)

ChrisSD: But Theme Park is FANTASTIC! Why does nobody else see this :'(

innocuous77: 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.
1400, actually, I believe.

When it first popped up, I almost fainted.

You too? We should find a name for that hobby and form a club with our own web forum.

I need it to finish out my Sierra collection - damn I love those games!

(and yes, I bought Theme Park)

xckx: 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.
But... but... floating, semi-transparet platform is even less plausible than a giant ladybug :) And half of the bug is on the grass, not on the platform :)

When it first popped up, realized I was going to end up sleeping through Krondor again :( I did manage to pick up the Sierra lineup though - BTW, the code to your locker in Police Quest is 269 :)

I must have blinked for a second - I saw it transition over to 1200 and almost died. At least I was able to make dinner.

That is a great plan! I'm pretty lazy though, so if you start it, I will join.

What if there are sides on the platform and the lady bug crawled from there?
Don't look but we're on page 666

Aha, the downscrolling bars club. Sounds like an amusing thing. It sounds so elite!
