I apologize in advance if anyone finds title of this thread to be offensive.

I have hard time understanding how can one play for hours without saving his or hers progress thus risk losing huge amount of playthrough which apparently happens a lot. I for one have this nasty habit of saving quite often, like every five minutes. I have over 600 saves in Mass Effect 2 alone, even more in Dragon Age Origins. Last time I lost good chunk of my playthrough was while playing Final Fantasy XII, I was near a save point though, but I guess electric company wanted to tease with me.

How often do you save your progress, and do you remember the last time you lost good chunk of your playthrough?
