Yeah - it's definitely not built for every gamer. You'd hardly find gamers who are deep into playing Minecraft like other games. Those that are deep into it hardly play other games. 
There is a guy I meet online about 6 years ago called Soulwatcher, he's strictly into playing only Minecraft and he's very good at it. 

Personally, I do make use of the tips and steps in the video to clean my keyboard and it's very effective and easy. 
 
 

Oh absolutely agreed!  I mean, look at The Uncensored Library, for example, a huge undertaking to use Minecraft to bypass news blockages in certain countries.  It's an immense undertaking, and yet it's used and updated frequently!  Such incredible building there and such an innovative use for a video game.  There are other equally amazing projects inside of Minecraft, so there is no question it is a platform for great innovation, it's just not for everyone.

Exactly - you completely understand the situation at its very best because the moment you think there's a breather for you to take time to catch up with initially abandoned games and boom comes out another irresistible one. 

Yeah - it's actually very good looking once you get to see who's very good at it after a finished project. They'd have sleepless night trying to build a masterclass outfit. 

Seriously - when I say I'm not going to get another one so as to play down the ones already in backlog, a new thrilling one would come out and I'm back at it again ; just like I'm waiting on Call of Duty Vanguard now. 

Exactly - I'm not sure if I have ever had the level of frustration I had with playing Minecraft compared to any other games that I have ever played apart from playing Dark Souls. 

Welcome to VGR.  Sorry to hear that about your mother, but I admire what you do for her. If there's anything you want to know about the forum, let me or @DC know.

The last time I took an inventory of my games backlogs, the physical games that I'm yet to play was 107 games and the digital games should be around 211.

As far as Nintendo consoles go, it's really hard to make one a classic. There has to be something extremely special about it. The NES for example launched us from 2 bit graphics up into 8 bit graphics. The games were so much more complex and detailed. The graphics were astounding for the era. The SNES introduced up to shoulder buttons. No one had thought about putting buttons there. The controller laid the groundwork for all future controller designs. The games were also innovative because they allowed us so much more range and so many options, that it's hard to match. There are games that debuted in that era (on Sega as well) that have led to blockbuster movies. The original Game Boy did the same thing for portable gaming that the NES did for home gaming. Prior to it, the only real option we had were Tiger games. Yet with the Game Boy, we only needed one console, and could carry cartridges with us to play different games. Then there's the N64. It brought us into the 360° view of gaming, which before was unheard of. Most people disliked the controller design (personally I liked it) but the fact that it was the first 360° system had people drooling.
Those 4 systems all gave something new and groundbreaking to gaming as a whole, not just Nintendo. That alone makes them classics.
Age is another factor. It also needs a bit of a "cult following" if you will, to make it a classic. For example, with about 3 game exceptions, I am a classic gamer. I play Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, and Sega Genesis almost exclusively. They are what I grew up on, and I still vastly prefer them. If you see me gaming, it's a 98% chance that it's one of those systems.
So there are several factors that go into consideration as to whether or not something has earned Classic status.

Minecraft is on top the chart when it comes to one's that bored me to the skull which I even regretted playing at all. 

Hardware fails, it's the unfortunate reality of technology.  I think you wound up with two bad consoles, but that is not indicative of the quality of the PS4, necessarily.  It's unfortunate both of them have failed you, and unfortunate you had to do a drive swap, but sadly not unheard of in the realm of hard drives, especially platter-based drives with moving components.  That's why SSDs and nvme's in particular have been on the rise for a decade or so.  They're just less likely to fail.  I hope you have good luck with this new drive in place!

Nice to meet you, and welcome to VGR 🙂

Hi all,
My name is Chris, I'm 33 years old and I'm a lifelong gamer and collector.  I've loved gaming since I was just a youngster and that love continues on into today, so I look forward to talk with you all about games and gaming in general :).  Outside of gaming I'm an avid reader and love to listen to music.  Occupationally I was a Java programmer but quit that in order to look after my mother, who has dementia, as her full-time caregiver.
That's about all there is to know about me, hope to see you in the forums :)
