GOG Insomnia Sale
« on: November 13, 2013, 03:05:38 pm »

So there's a GOG "insomnia sale". Flash sales with limited numbers differing from 50-80% off. So far I've gotten Alpha Centauri and King of Dragon Pass both for $3.
There's also free games offered every now and again although I wouldn't bother with those. They go so quick I think there must be bots or something snatching them up.

That is horrible and amazing. And yes of course there are bots that people have already written to destroy this beautiful flower, to detonate it in the womb, to slather it with poison, to irradiate its soul. Internet.

EDIT: Hilarious to see games that nobody wants sit there unbought for like 10 minutes.

EDIT2: Just saw a freebie for Geneforge 1-5, 40 copies - and the bar didn't even go down. It just showed that for about 5 seconds and moved on. I wasn't logged in so I didn't try clicking it.

EDIT3: Can't log in, service too popular. Oh well, guess the bot hackers get everything. Not too crushed by this since it was something I didn't know existed a minute ago!

It wasn't so bad 30 minutes ago. People are complaining that they can't even access the non-free games. It's been plastered all over the internet now and the armies of 4chan and reddit have amassed and are waiting outside the gates.

I have a list as well.
It's called a rap sheet.

I don't see Original War on there. Still have hope for more decent oldie RTS games.

NWN is still a great game, if you play on some of the persistent worlds. SOme of the best are still going strong after all these years.

Once again, I recommend "Escaped" server, which is on it's fourth chapter: http://www.efupw.com/

This server is seriously well crafted.

Seems like they're just repeating sales now with the occasional small amount of free games.

It's a singular flash sale based on quantity instead of a time limit. After that amount of Roller Coaster games are sold a new game takes it's place. It was much faster before since they were only do sales of around 100-400 but they seem to have boosted it up to around 700 each sale, likely since people were having trouble buying the games.
