Impulse purchases.

Man this is stupid.

I'm sitting here and for some reason am about to walk over to the store and buy a DS along with a Pokemon game. I mean I never even played any of the Pokemon games.

You ever have these kinds of urges? Or act on them?

I don't even know the difference between diamond and pearl.

So...

    A couple weeks ago I bought a DS light and pokemon because I found out I had to visit my grandparents house.
    Their house is hella boring.

    Edit: I bought pearl because I asked the dude there which is better and he said "more people are buying this one"

    I impulse buy shit all the time.

    There are thousands upon thousands of dollars in things that I bought because for a fleeting moment I needed them more than the very air I breathe just sitting around my house or in closets untouched and unloved.

    I really need to get back to painting my chaos army.

    Hey, that's great. Never seen people do this before. How about you start a new thread on how you're so original?

    You could also walk into the bottom of a lake and try singing a song you like.

    I found out the new Guitar Hero comes out today, and I'm off to buy it in an hour or so.
    This isn't as much of an impulse buy as it is fate.

    So...

    You too? The last comic, newspost, and thread is making me itch to get a DS with Pokemon as well.

    I've resisted so far. I don't think I have the time.

    Impulse buys are usually bad. Give it a little more thought if you want a better chance at being satisfied with your decision.
    Plus I just don't think I could ever handle admitting to a girl that I still play Pokemon at age 24.

    The worst part about an impulse purchase is the 10 minutes of convincing yourself that you made a good decision after you hand the cash over.

    I did as well. I think this is a wise impulse buy. It's not like it was an impulse because of a few bucks off. I was expecting the game to be $50, and still wouldn't have paid $40 for it. But at $25 hell yes, give it to me now.

    Hey btw, did you use the online offer, or did they give you that deal in the store? I had to order online and pick up.
