Unfortunately, each one is only episode 1, and you have to pay to get additional parts of the game.
This is because those games are being removed from the App Store, because of the iOS 9 update. Companies are getting tired of Apple costing them money like this so many are just pulling their stuff and dumping it on Google Play instead.
The first taste is free...

Big sale on Telltale games on Steam. Even though I've played them all before, I'm thinking of getting Sam & Max, Back to the Future, and Monkey Island. I used to have the physical copy of S&M season 1 on PC, have the digital of S2 through Telltale, and played S3 and Monkey Island on PS3, but I'm still tempted to have them all in one spot on Steam. Is that weird?

Not really. I've re-bought things I've owned previously as hard copies, sometimes on steam, sometimes on GoG.com.
I'll probably snag a few of those titles myself. I've already got both Poker Night games, and have really gotten my money's worth out of them.
I wish Steam had the option like GoG where, if you buy a package, you still get the great discount but the price is reduced for things you already own in your library.

Steam snuck in a Stealth Sale. Basically, a sale on a bunch of stealth games.

Alpha Protocol is listed in there for about $3.75. This is totally worth it. It's an incredibly flawed game, but an incredibly deep and fun one, and is very reminiscent of the original Deus Ex. I really do love this game, and the writing in it is great if you love spy stories.

Super socket 7! Ungh! So flashback. Very nostalgia. Wow.
Bundle Stars has Mad Max on for 65% off. Down to $20.99 CAN; don't know what it is US since it's not showing for me, but I imagine a little less than that.
That's what I chose when I finally built my first PC (rather than using emulation on my Mac). Still have it, though I only drag it out for those "special" occasions when I specifically need old hardware. All those people out there combing the Internet for hard-to-find parts to build their retro gaming rigs, but I just kept my K6-III+ for all these years.

There was too much cannibalization in my early years to have an intact, functioning retro rig after all this time, I'm afraid
Lessee...There was too much cannibalization in my early years to have an intact, functioning retro rig after all this time, I'm afraid
(not counting things I've built for other people)
1999: Super Socket 7 (new build, no previous PC stuff)
2003(4?): Dual P-III (no reuse due to 4yr gap in technology. ECC RAM, ATA133, etc., only reused keyboard and mouse)
2011: AM3 (new RAM again, now SATA, PCIe, etc., even mouse and keyboard are USB now)
...I guess by waiting so long between builds, I self-limit the amount of stuff I can reuse.

I never played Payday 2, but Payday 1 was just "L4D: Bank heist edition." and it was a LOT less forgiving of mistakes and screwups.
Don't buy it, for a few reasons.
First, the devs just added CSGO-style microtransactions despite years of promises that they'd never do it, and are refusing to respond to any of the community backlash. More importantly, the weapon skins that drop from this give stat bonuses, meaning that people who spend money are inevitably stronger - it's hard to call it pay to win when it's a co-op game, but it still feels really, really shitty.
Also, there are pretty strong rumours that at the end of the current event that's running they're going to make the game Free-to-Play, which probably won't stop them from charging for all the DLC currently out, and whatever they develop going forward. If nothing else, wait and see if it happens, and try the game then.
All of this. I've been a fan since Day 1 of Payday: The Heist and this is a slap in the face of the fans. It would have been simply annoying if they had done micros for fun skins, but these are skins that make your guns better so now you need them to have optimal guns (which IS an issue if you play on Deathwish).
Saints Row IV is super fun, I just wish the world environment for 90% of the game wasn't so dark. I know that it's an intentional choice to highlight that it's openly ripping off The Matrix as well as games like Prototype and Infamous, but it looks so drab compared to Saints Row The Third.
