24 Gaming Memes for Casual Gamers Quick Saving Before Every Boss Fight (December 4, 2024)

On Black Friday, gamers buy games.

For my husband and I–two very casual gamers–it's become something of a holiday tradition. Every year, we wait like kids for the PlayStation catalog to be released, and we eagerly scour the pages for fun games at a discount. Without fail, we find a game we like and proceed to obsess over that one single game for the next several months.

Casual gamers relish a good deal for a game. Without the time or energy to 100% every game we play, we need to be wise about how we spend our simoleons. A $75 game with lots of bugs isn't going to be the best investment for a casual gamer. We need to look at the big picture, investing our time and cash into something tried and true, like Pikmin 3, Animal Cross, God of War, or just a regular old Call of Duty (not the latest game obviously, who has the time for a 245MB download?). So if you're like my family and you're happily enjoying your latest game purchase, scroll onward to dwell in the relatable humors of every gamer this season.
