save-whore

Someone who is constantly saving their progress in video games/word documents/paint or photoshop, etc., for fear of losing their work.

Since her computer had the tendency to spontaneously shut-down, Maria became a save-whore when she was writing her essay.

(Persons 1 & 2 are playing LOZ: Twilight Princess)
Person1: Ok, why do you keep saving every 3 minutes? It's getting annoying.
Person2: What? I don't want to lose my progress.
Person1: Stupid save-whore. >.<

save-whore

One who abuses the save system of a video game or the save-state system of an emulator to the extent that any challenge of playing the game is gone.

An individual who is especially prone to the dreaded death loop caused by saving in an impossible situation.

Notorious for making mario romhack LPs, where the save-state function of an emulator dominates and ruins any worth the video had.

retsupurae: "I'm just enjoying the jump - miss - save state - jump - miss - save state" (in reference to a video that had ridiculous amounts of save-whoring.)

Geoff has effectively ruined Far Cry 2 by saving his progress every second, until the final time when he panic saved whilst being crushed by a safari jeep.

Skyrim is a very save-whore friendly game, but is so fun that a real challenge is not necessary to enjoy it.
