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...

I actually felt a little bad about my response after I submitted it. The GOG community tends to be very helpful. Hopefully most people get it was sarcasm.

I was very grateful to you for responding that way. You removed the powerful temptation for me to say it. XD

Cyril79: But the date exactly ? ^^

CorranHorn: That is something only GOG knows, Steam and GOG usually has it it at the same time with a week or two apart. Around jun-july
OK thnaks too, it's just during a week at all times ?
As hilarious as the posts from newer members (or just suddenly more active members) are on here about other sales happening, it's pretty cool that it breathes some additional life into the forums even for a week at a time. This is the second sale of almost anything I've ever been really excited about!

The first sale obviously being the fall insomnia sale.

I figured it was not mean. most people here don't seem to be. And yes, they are extremely helpful
Anyone else refreshing the front page to watch the slider move fast when it's been stalling for so long? :P
Just started Heretic to give it a first try. And 2 things.
1. The Intro was pretty nice
2. It's German :D I do speak and read English but espacially with games with allot of text is is rather tiring to read everything in english.

yyahoo: In the past it's generally been timed to begin shortly before the Steam Summer Sale...
steam is cuss word
If someone doesn't still has Syberia II, he must buy it now, and if someone had the original CD, I strongly advise to check them, because I just have found mine completely ruined for no apparent reason. Thanks GOG there are still a lot of copies

Playing games while the sale is still going? What is this outrage?!
