Sherlock93: Does anybody know if you can download a game off GOG or where to find the source folder of the game? I'd like to play some of my games from GOG on my old laptop which has no internet. So I need to figure out a way to transfer the games from their folders to an external hard drive or USB to transfer them to my laptop.

Not sure how new you are, so some of this you may already know....
Once you buy a game here you can go to your games, a list of all the games you own here.
Click on the game you want to download, you will see a list of files (for small games maybe just a file).
Larger games have an exe file and one or more bin files. All should be downloaded to the same location, usually "downloads" in Windows.
Click on a file you will asked for a download location (usual default is downloads).
Once all the files are downloaded, run the exe and the game will install. The downloaded files remain where they were. This is the "installer". This is what you can move, copy etc wherever you want.
As far as I know, the largest games are split into Exe and several bin files, none larger that 4GB. So a 4+ GB usb stick will allow you to transfer any installer to different pc. Once the Install files are transferred, run the exe and it will be installed in the new pc.
DO NOT abuse this. It is the non-DRM that GoG is famous for.
In other news....
There is a thing called galaxy, I know nothing about this other than it's "meh" reputation.
There is also GoGdownloader, maybe still working, not supported.
I hope this helps, and that you enjoy an abuse free experience.
Post back here for further clarification.
Edit, double ninja'd. My, what a helpful bunch we can be.
