Whether you're a PC gamer or prefer console, there are just some undeniable truths about being a gamer. This list is dedicated to the gamers of the world, guys or girls, young and old. Just as long as you're not a mobile gamer.

1. Forgetting to save after hours of progress.

There's a feeling of hopelessness followed by anger at your own stupidity after you forget to save and you quit or the game crashes.

2. Finding the right spot.


Whether you play PC or console, there's a certain way you have to sit in order to play your game comfortably.

3. The PC versus Console rivalry.

4. You find yourself speaking in gamer language.

I've found myself doing this too many times, even with simple things like 'gg.'

5. Having a girlfriend or boyfriend to play games with.

My boyfriend and I are an unstoppable team in H1Z1. There's something great about being able to kick butt alongside your significant other.

6. Video games are pieces of art.

Take, for example, "The Last of Us" (above), or "The Witcher III: Wild Hunt" (below). There are so many games out there that not only are filled with rich storytelling and gameplay, but beautiful graphics.

7. The feeling you get after pulling an all-night gaming session.

You know you're making a mistake but, somehow, you don't care.

8. Beating your siblings

Nothing is sweeter than beating the crap out of your siblings while playing your favorite game (or better yet, theirs).

9. And for the oldest kid, always being Player One.

They got the worst characters, the worst controllers and, for the littlest ones, an unplugged controller when you didn't want to have to share.

10. There will come a day when even the most even-tempered gamer will rage quit.


There comes a time in all gamers' lives where a rage quit will happen. Whether it's because you've been knifed too many times or can't get past a certain part, it will be uncontrollable and maybe a little embarrassing after the fact.

11. This undeniable logic.

12. The obsession with reloading.

And it's usually when you pretty much have a full mag.

13. Not being taken seriously if you're a girl gamer.

14. People who screen peek are the worst.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

15. Having friends who play on different platforms.

16. Wanting a battlestation like this:

17. Or this:

18. Twitch.tv is a wonderful and entertaining thing.

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
