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

Th3ChosenOne: Ok. Most of the times you only need to download the dll file and put it in youre games directory (where the exe file is(worked for me every time))

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_30

Download the *zip file* and put the dll in it in the directory

dsross: Nonono don't download individual missing dll files! That's asking for trouble in the form of old/mixed/incompatible versions and dependancies. If you're missing a dll is for a reason - a bunch of other stuff is missing too.

You need to do as Stilton said and download the directX 9 installer from microsoft.
Perfect now! =)

Chandoraa: I am rubber, you are glue.

Anyway, I already played through Machinarium. Art direction is just awesome, but the game as a whole left a bad aftertaste. Too convoluted and unforgiving for a point and click adventure, and the thing with only being able to click on things that were within reach was just unnerving (that freakin' robot is a really slow walker). Still worth trying if you guys can get a good price for it.
Point and click adventures are usually notoriously convoluted and unforgiving. At least Machinarium never left you in a place where you couldn't win!

Maybe it's just that i'm an old school fan of the genre, but i actually found it rather easy. Beated it in like 6 hrs. And i think the puzzles are way more logical then in other games. It's a very good entry in the genre, to me.

mkell_226: Seriously, I envy anyone who is playing SShock 2 for the first time!
That would be me... kept meaning to do it. Someone mentioned graphic mods... any input there?

I still uprated your post for helping out!
I'm still kicking myself for missing Thief 2 (didn't want to buy it before I bought Thief 1 for some reason) and Jade Empire (hesitated) when I had the chance.

On the other hand if I had, I wouldn't have stuck around and bought SS2 and Startopia.
Now for a real old one, anyone played Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy =)?

I think it is quite easy and not that long but very well done. I got stuck once (something with a bird on a powerline or something).

The old-school Infocom one with the blue screen? Ohhhh yeah.
