I just bought:
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
White Oleander
The Adventures of Pete and Pete (Seasons 1 and 2)
The Dark Crystal
Pleasantville
Mirrormask
and
Sid Meier's Civilization IV
for $13.50 (S&H included).

When Azrogz died and they wouldn't fix him, I got a $150 refund on my service plan (which I never used) in store credit, and that's where it's all gone. Look like I'll be paying out of pocket when The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion finally releases.

But hey, 7 DVDs and a video game isn't bad. And Shipping alone on that order would have been $14.32, so I think I made off like the proverbial bandit.

Have you seen all of those previously, or were they just impulse buys?

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've seen, and enjoyed, all of them; I'm generally not a complete impulse buyer; I buy things I know I'll enjoy (or, in the case of books, have reasonable expectation to enjoy).

The exception is Civ4, which I haven't played or seen and, actually, I've never been a big fan of the Civilization series. It's alright, but there are other real-time strategy games that I like more. That I got in great part because a couple of my buddies wanted me to try playing a networked game with them, and I figured it was effectively free, so why not?
