Maybe the delay is so they can finish translating the last few books into English!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Has it always been like this, or a hint for something for the upcoming christmas sale?
Nothing happens by the way when I click the button.
If you're talking about the background, looks like you might have some targeted malware.

Freedom Planet or Ys Origin
Crimsonland is an absolute gem of a game. Was obsessed with it about 10 years ago.
A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
lol.
I still don't know what the verdict is on nom nom galaxy. There are very few impressions out there.
so if you guys have any please share.

Have you played Velocity 2x? The presentation's pretty solid. It was free on PS+. It's straight-forward, but allows some depth with warping and perspective shifts.
Might be a good palate cleanser.
From what I understand, Muffin Knight is a rip off of Super Crate Box, but since I've never played Super Crate Box, I loved Muffin Knight.
This does slightly increase the chance I'll finish The Witcher 2 before TW3 comes out. Slightly.
Check pm
Get rekt.
...
Because they do it all the time. Lying via omission is the Sony Way
Oh come on, you're no fun! Now I'm just late to the party... But I'll take what I can get. HA-HA!
:'(
... If you have an incredibly large openworld game, then it very much can be. Micro-polishing an openworld game is labour intensive and takes a lot of time. This'll hopefully mean TW3 wont be Skyrim-esque.
Ughh I really hate when they do that. Free things shouldn't have an expiration date. I really wish some of these sites return to the days when they used serial keys.
Sorry if posted. Did a quick word search of the last couple pages and didn't see anything.
But the fall update for Civ: Beyond Earth is live: http://www.civilization.com/en/news/2014-12--civilization-beyond-earth-fall-update-now-live/
Thankfully I can finally play fullscreen with a 144hz monitor.

And speaking of bundles, when/why did Indiegala stop doing their monthly bundle? I seem to remember those used to be slightly better in quality than the weekly ones.
Well... My preorder of the CE is still good... :|
But meh, I don't mind, the less buggy the game is, the better.
If GTAV is reasonably easy to mod, I hope we'll see some great graphics mods. I'd love to play through it in first person mode and finally get the Crysis-purdy, modern openworld game I've
That would make me soooo happy...
It means I might have time to finally finish TW1! lol
... And my 2nd playthrough of TW2, ofcourse.

Oh man oh man, thanks for crimsonland.
I played the shit out of the original.
I hope the changes they made didn't ruin perfection.
Blame scammers getting rich off 1$ humble buys for a multiple of that on ebay and other trading sites

I love how consistently great Every Monday bundles are.
By great I mean that I don't own most of the games on them.
To be fair, as far as I know, the only humble keys that expire are the free ones.
Also this.
Why?
Games on Steam with achievements added some time after release, or DLC achievements tends to have very low completion percentages, even more so than actually super hard achievements, so if you use the rarest achievement showcase those "rare" achievements will show up instead of the actually challenging ones.

I dunno about 2014 games, but from what I've played out of your library, you can't go wrong with a Ys game. Ys II ought to be the one you play next because it's a direct sequel to Ys I (well, more like they're two halves to one story really). Its nightmare mode is a lot easier than in Ys I because you can heal during battle. I finished it up in like 15 hours, but I was taking my time.
Otherwise, Papo & Yo is a good if you're more in a mood to relax, takes about 3-5 hours. I'd also recommend Cave Story+ but don't try hard mode on your first try because it sucks. It's basically a 3 heart run where everything and anything can oneshot you. First playthrough takes like 10 hours, but good luck if you're trying to get all the achievements because you'll spend much more time than that.
Screw Gabriel, they have Settlers 2-5 + 2 Remake bundle for 75% off.
Get this if you haven't got them already.

Freedom Planet taken into suggestion.
Ys Origin is on hold until I play the other Ys games that preceded it. Ys II would be next.
I have that on my Vita and have not played it yet. Lately my Vita has been a BoI:R machine.
All noted. Good call on Ys II after the suggestion above.
The reason I asked about 2014 games was cause I have about 8 games on my list for GOTY and I figured I should try to squeeze another 2014 contender in before the end of the year. Current GOTY list, without order: Dark Souls 2, Killer is Dead, MGR:R, Yaiba, The Evil Within, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Shovel Knight

Witcher 3 delay don't bother me much personally, ya'all need to chill like Jase and maybe go finish up Styx.
No offense, but anyone who doubted a PC release of GF upon its announcement was just silly. Even I knew it would get a PC release and I thought it would be a full blown remake :V
So it gets released on Sony systems first, big whoop, gives you time to finish up your backlogs.
Well to be fair he probably only was allowed to because of the backlash back when Grim Fandango remake was announced and no PC version was mentioned at first.

Oh yeah, Nom Nom Galaxy, I remember buying that. Early Access, a rather well known dev (the PixelJunk guys/girls) and already in a bundle? Can't be doing so well.

Already had it.
Well, I don't disagree, I'm just saying what there were a bunch of angry reactions at the time. My point was the wording was such that someone who doesn't already know better might think it was an actual exclusive. Whereas for Day of the Tentacle Tim was clear about it right off the bat.
