Impulse Buys!

[theRepublic]

I don't think I have had any true impulse buys this gen.  I have bought a few games I was not planning on buying at the time, but that was because there was a sale.  I would have gotten them eventually.

I did have a pretty good impulse buy last gen though.  I was in some discount store, maybe a Big Lots or something similar.  Then on a shelf with just a handful of crappy games is Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for about $20.  It was weird because the store didn't really have many games.  I recognized the Baldur's Gate name, and snatched it up.  It is a pretty great game, and I ended up spending a ton of hours with it.
