Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

ahab: Why? no one has given a reason apart from the fact they want to buy something and the current game is taking to long for them to wait

selfish and greedy

Why can't the sale last a week or more, why does it have to be over in a couple of days?
Why? Exactly for the reason you wrote, which is more then enough. Having to wait for hours for a game that nobody wants to buy is pointless and boring.

It should last longer? So what? Nobody said it shouldn't. The two things aren't mutally exclusive. Just set a 15 minutes timer per game and have more rounds. There's no need to make it slow and tedious to make it longer. The games people are interested in go sold out in a couple minutes anyway, so i don't see your point.

Zer0: While we wait for the Dragon Commander to flip... I have an extra gift code for any of the broken sword titles (1,2.3 or 4) or in cold blood. Just give a shout and I'll see if the reward option is still valid and will PM the code to the first one to call out which of the titles they'd want.

Sure.
So, I left last night at Book of Unwilling Takers. What came between that and Thunderscape or whatever the hell that is?

Also, after seeing that Indie Gala site, are there any other websites people would recommend that follow that "Humble Bundle" idea?
Loads of people have brought "Divinity: Dragon Commander Imperial Edition" Just not at the speed that you want it gone so you can buy more things you want.

No, only way to do that is if you already own the game afaik.

Edit, if you have it as a gift then yes it should be possible to trade it, I let someone else answer this though so I don´t give you the wrong info.

There's still Groupees.com and Indieroyale.com, though the latter is more Indie than the others, often with alpha and beta versions.

And flyingbundle.com is rather new, I think.

Not sure if the freebies get automatically redeemed to your account or if you get a code to use. This page lists all the gifts code you have, along with their status (new, sent, redeemed). If the code is there, and not redeemed, you can send it to someone to trade. If the game is instead in this page, it is in your library and you can't trade it.

Whoops, completely missed the In Cold Blood option.

If he has the game under gifts, showing him an unredeemed giftcode he can trade it. About how, just see my answer some post above.
Off-topic question, has anyone played the "remastered" version of "Flashback"? I've been thinking about getting it but wasn't sure if the childhood memories that I cherish of the game would be ruined.
