[Vault101]

soo..impulsing buying, weve all done it

whats the most random/rediculpus reason youve ever bought somthing on a whim?

I went into EB games looking for eather age of empires or LA Noire, but I decided on Undead nightmare...

....because it comes with a poster

I bough sam and max: devils playhouse because it came with a poster..and I havnt even played it

also does LA Noire come with a poster? it seems to be athing with rockstar games

I bought Medal of Honor Allied Assault because one of the pictures on the back showed a ranger helmet with the red diamond on the back.

Most random reason ever.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

On occasion, I wander into the toy section of Walmart and buy whatever Lego Star Wars set interests me.

 

[srm79]

A second hand Vauxhall Astra GTI because it was going for a song and was cracking good fun to drive.

 

[SckizoBoy]

A fair few...

A dartboard, a JLP Collection overcoat, a model aircraft carrier, a skeleton motif emblazoned bag, a sword and a second netbook...

 

[BENZOOKA]

NVidia 3D Vision Wireless Kit (second edition).

I'm not too big of a Stars Wars -fan, but I always check those out when searching gifts for my godson. They're really expensive!

I can't remember anything more impulsive than buying two decks of oversized playing cards. The cards were around 2-2.5 times the size the normal cards. I found them pretty amusing, so I bought them. I ended up giving one of the decks to my grandfather because they are really easy to see, so he can play even without his glasses on. The other is still with me (somewhere in my room...) but I've only used it 2-3 times.

I still think the cards rock.

 

[Timberwolf0924]

all of the Mount and Blade games because they were like 2.00 each on Steam

 

[Iwata]

A complete and sealed NATO hazmat suit and gask mask.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I bought a mobile strap chain of Pain and Kona figures (from Naruto Shippuden) from the last anime convection I went to. Yes it was impluise from from my experience those type of figures tend to get sold out quite quickly.

Oh and another impulse buy I remember was years ago, I bought a black shell cover for my mobile phone but one I put it on it look dull (I picture it differently in my head).

 

[Esotera]

A gorilla suit, complete with an Osama Bin Laden head-mask. Way too expensive for what it was.

 

[ZehMadScientist]

I went to a circus once and saw these guys flippin' away on them unicycles. I thought to myself how awesome it would be to come to school... On a unicycle. So I bought one, tried to learn how to ride it and failed miserably. It's collecting dust now... Somewhere in the house.

 

[Kud]

I bought the latest Spyro game because I thought it looked so gimmicky that I HAD to play it.

And I did.

 

[Jedoro]

I wanted something bigger than a hunting knife, so I bought a shortsword at a Renaissance festival. I now keep it right by my bed and sharpened.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Dues Ex: Human Revolution, even though I knew I wasn't interested and the game doesn't even run above 6 FPS on my computer.

Damn you Steam.

 

[Chased]

I recently discovered a Comic/Game store not to far from my University. I've been impulsively buying Magic cards for about 4 weeks now. I think I may have to transfer to another school...

Dues Ex: Human Revolution, even though I knew I wasn't interested and the game doesn't even run above 6 FPS on my computer.

Damn you Steam.

It's on Steam so you'll always have it. Who knows, maybe next week you'll impulsively buy a gaming computer.

 

[Ectoplasmicz]

A really large cactus which I didn't particularly want. I still have it, and it is alive and well. I despise it, but I keep it. You know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

I'm enemies with a cactus I bought, what is going wrong with my life???

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I bought Crono Trigger on PSN.

I'm amazed because it was a good game and only five bucks.

also does LA Noire come with a poster? it seems to be athing with rockstar games

Mine didn't, but it came with fake film reels. (But I think the film reels were console exclusive pre-orders from Gamestop.)
