I just bought myself a set of CNC machined down hill trucks, right before the end of the Norwegian season. If you're not in the know CNC machined anything often cost a bit extra, so yeah, I payed 300USD for skateboard trucks just when the weather turns from skateable to surfable. I could've put the money towards a surfing package or something ...  
 
Do I regret my decision? Hell no! Those puppies are sick! And they don't bend like cast trucks.

When you're a grown up with a regular income who doesn't have a family to support, that stuff is not really crazy. 
However, unless he's your son, making this thread is

I'd complain if it weren't for all the entertainment I have gotten from those decisions.

Yeah, all those purchases are worth their weight in comedy gold... though Game Room is starting to lean towards just plain depressing instead.

To be honest I get a laugh at the fact no one seems to want to do the Game Room Quicklooks.

I bought all of the Marvel Civil War graphic novels.  That was a catastrophic mistake.  I haven't even read one and no one will buy it from me.

I believe it was Kevin Butler who said "Being a gamer is having a 50inch Plasma TV in a one bedroom apartment". 
 
I have the same issue. Replacing the fridge this October is the last thing I will do when there are so many games being released, it will last another month... maybe.

DJ Hero renegade edition is never a bad purchase. Love that thing and the addition on another coffee table when I'm not playing is great.

I picked up Dragon age like a month ago (and still haven't installed it) for about $50-$60.
Then I hear about the Ultimate Edition.

I have every single issue of Marvel's New Universe line (yes, the one created right during the last third of the comic boom [probably one of the things that killed it, come to think of it] that tanked so badly that they printed a banner at the top of the last issues: #12 [or was it 13?] of a 12 issue limited series - you got to LOVE marketing!). I swear they are likely not worth what I'd get to recycle them by the pound as paper pulp.
 
That said. The hours of entertainment that have sprung from the "bad" decisions in the OP mean that they were not really bad now were they?

You could probably add Tony Hawk Ride to that list. I love them for it, though.
