The Joy of Patient Gaming (Intentional Gaming Ep. 2)

Gaming is getting more expensive and it feels like the industry is thriving more on FOMO. But the truth is you don’t need every new release or shiny console to enjoy this hobby. In this episode of Intentional Gaming I’m talking about the joy of patient gaming—waiting for sales, digging into your backlog, and even exploring older consoles like the Wii, PS2, and 3DS that still offer incredible experiences for a fraction of the cost. We'll talk about some great sites that keep track of sales and deals along with ways that I try to plan which story/narrative games I play and how long they typically will take. Thanks for watching and if you haven't seen the first episode in the series check it out linked below.
