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

Minmataro: Valve is working on a pure 100% offline Steam mode.

basically you only ever need to connect to their servers to buy/download or activate a game key. Once you do that you can make a short cut to your game and play them without the client even being open.

Just give them some time, they get that people hate DRM.
Still DRM. You can't borrow the game to a friend. If they shut down Steam your games are gone. And you still don't own them.
The problem with DRM has nothing to do with needing to be online or not.
i just noticed witcher 2 dl is about 15gb

Solomon87: Why, Wing Commander is a classic series.
That is true, I thought a lot of people got it in the 2 rounds and 750 copies are quite many.
LOL at people who think WC4 will take long it has already sold 300+ copies.
Got this one already :)

gscotti: There is no way I am going to read the comic book or play the game - Philip K. Dick's novel created a very dark world in my mind, a very powerfully suggestive atmosphere, a slightly steampunkish world that any comic book or videogame can only fall short of. The best thing about Blade Runner was, actually, that it didn't try to faithfully recreate the novel.

Shendue: Or even game sites reviews: http://www.adventuregamers.com/articles/view/17442
Really, it's based on the movie, not the book, and it's a milestone in the adventure genre. Play it, you won't regret it. It's not just fine, it's Broken Sword or Monkey Island good.
If you liked the movie, then play the game, Westwood did an amazing job capturing the feel of the movie and they nailed it. I was blown away the first time I played it, when it first came out no other game looked as good as that one.
for the price for a bowl of soup you can get wing commander 4... that will keep starving kids in Uganda playing for about 5 mins (when they get board with is or the batteries run dry on there solar charger )

johnnygoging: Steam gets a lot of hate and its not entirely deserved. it wouldn't have become as popular if it just sucked.
I agree with you. Steam isn't bad, but between Steam and GoG, non-DRM wins for me.

Russonc: I think the last one I played was 3, Is 4 good?
It's enjoyable, but not as good as 3. Definitely worth a playthrough.

siddham: Many users do write reviews on Metacritic.

Personally I pay more attention to the users reviews on Metacritic than the press reviews.
Problem is, you also get people who just go there, put a number up and not even own the game or in some famous cases game devs/publishers will do it to fudge the numbers...

I'd say that Steam is the best at what it does. So I'd rather use it than something like Origin. But, it can't hold a candle to a setup that has no DRM at all. That's why I'll always purchase from here first if I have a choice.

Same here. But you've got to take it ALL with a grain of salt. There are people who give out a 10 rating because they're a company drone, or have a low threshold. The same goes for all the negative reviews. Read the middle ones and those that actually say more than "IT'S AMAZING BUY BUY BUY" and "IT SUX DIE DIE DIE".

The all caps are a dead giveaway. ;)

What I find interesting is when there's a WIDE margin between the critics and user ratings.
