The big day is approaching and everyone is counting hours, minutes and seconds when the GOG staff members will appear in the spotlight! Believe us, we're all excited about this as well, but first things first. Let us give you some details, so everyone knows who, what, where and when.

Who? All of you, our dear users, are invited to watch the live streaming of the CDP Days 2011 Spring Conference.
What? The live streaming will include presentations by CD Projekt RED with their awesome game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, and GOG.com revealing some cool stuff. Both presentations will be in English.
Where? You'll be able to watch both presentations on GOG.com. On Thursday we'll put up a news post with a live stream video window embedded in it for your convenience.
When? The live streaming of CD Projekt RED presentation will start on Thursday, April 14 at 12:00 p.m. EST (that's 4:00 p.m. GMT - that's 9:00 a.m. Los Angeles time, 12:00 p.m. New York, 5:00 p.m. London time or 6:00 p.m. Warsaw time). GOG will hit the stage an hour later at 1:00 p.m. EST (5:00 p.m. GMT).

You may also notice some teaser spots on the front page. These will change during the next three days, so feel free to speculate what's it all about :). See you on Thursday!

Well, in KOTOR you definitely have a past worth fearing. Kyle from the Jedi Knight series had quite a past too from what I can tell. (I've only played one of the games.)

Maybe its something Indiana Jones. He has quite the fear of snakes, though that's more of an ongoing fear.

KOTOR actually wouldn't be too far a stretch, especially KOTOR II. But I'm generally not very good at guessing games, so I don't know.

Taken less literally it might be referring to where you came from rather than what you've personally done. This would mean any game would count that has you playing a clone, science experiment, lost heir to the throne, or any of a dozen other things.

That's true. Of course, GOG could be playing some serious mind games with us, and these "hints" don't really have to do with the games they are going to release.

Oh well, I guess we'll all find out Thursday.

Hinterbichler: The PC version of the Rockstar game "Red Dead Redemption" wil be released exclusively on gog.com ;)
If there were a God, this would be true.

Umm I wish I could hope for something here, but after being tricked into high expectations by the previous GOG announcements like that (with the spy video which I still have no idea about - I'm puzzled till this very day if I'm supposed to know by now what it was all about; with the big and super duper awesome Christmas surprise which turned out to be a regular, not-really-surprising (even if unquestionably totally awesome) holiday sale, etc.), I'd say I'd just pass on expecting anything and will just wait till April 14th and see for myself if it's actually worth the hype or not. Some part of me deep inside my heart kinda still feeds me the thoughts that it's going to be something awesome, but given that GOG has done this several times before and every time my expectations were ruined (not even expectations for specific games - it'd be silly to guess an exact game that will be released and be pissed later off when and if it's not it, but I mean at least expectations for the magnitude of awesomeness and surprise, whatever it may be), I'm just going to pass.

The most surprising and awesome thing that ever happened on GOG (subjectively of course, for me at least - but undoubtedly surprising to most of us) - the release of the Infinity Engine series games and the coming of Atari/Hasbro to GOG - happened, amazingly enough, with no preliminary buildup hype. :) There were no bells and whistles before the first game (BG 1) was released, no "guys you're guying to, like, die when you see what our next game is going to be", no anything. And yet it came out to be totally awesome. :))) And everything that did have the hype (the famous spy video, the pre-holiday sale 14 day hype, etc.) came out much less surprising and left a taste of disappointment in the fact that I "bought the hype" and expected something bigger than that (no matter what it could have been, just... bigger)... Sorry GOG, as much as I'm curious what your next release is going to be, I'm not buying the hype thing anymore... :( I hope you can prove me wrong this time, but even if not, at least I'm not going to have to regret my agitation and excitement.

They shut down the site and scared the crap out of people, then released the games. There was other hype if you were looking.

XDD True, but I'm not sure if this should actually count as "hype" :D Perhaps a perverted form of hype, I dunno... :))

It was radical and got a massive amount of new attention.

Any kind of publicity is good publicity. I wish it wasn't so true some days...

I almost thought yesterday that they'll just stick with the "oh, just wait till Thursday" approach, but GOG just loves his minions speculating :)

good job, now I really can't wait! (still hoping desperately for Crusader, but I know, it has not much in common with these hints...)
