Why
Formed in 2003, The New Gamer was established to provide a different critical perspective on videogames. We scrutinize the whole game, what it has to say, how the separate elements effect the player, and what each game brings to the burgeoning field of interactive entertainment. Simply put, we like to write about games.

I'm right beside you on this issue. The fear of "What if I need this later" is very real (in a gaming context) for me, so I've always got tons of left-over stuff in my inventory or built-up gauges gone un-used. As you pointed out, this is often to my in-game detriment, and occasionally, demise.
How ridiculous to die fighting without playing your trump card!
