The Minecraft Fanatic

Hey guys Kage848 here for another blog,


Ok today I'm going to talk about a special breed of gamer. This specimen of gamer is quite unique in the gaming world at large.

Now while the gaming population has it's share of fanboys, fangirls and unreasonable strong feelings twords some games, good or bad, this breed of fanatic is nothing like I have ever encountered before. This special breed of gamer fanatic will not, or can not, listen to reason about there game of choice. As a video maker on Youtube when I neglect this one game these fanatics go into a frenzyed uproar of mass destruction and hatred. It really is something special.

Of course I'm speaking of the Minecraft Fanatic, one of the most hardcore fanatics of any game I have ever seen. The Minecraft fanatic will rise up to defend Minecraft and It's creator, Notch. If anything is said against this game or It's creator the fans will band together and fight tooth and nail in defense of said game, or creator.

Another thing I find interesting about this breed of fanatic gamer is when there are people wanting to emulate such a game. There have been a few "Minecraft clones" out there and this tends to enrage the MCF's like nothing else. They can't understand that there can be Minecraft clones out there and It doesn't make Minecraft any less of a game and really doesn't effect the game at all. Attempts have been made to bring light to this situation for the MCF's but they have all met with failure.

For me personally, I love Minecraft as well. I have been playing it since alpha for over a year now, as of this post it's still not out in its full release. Then one thing I want more than anything is for the game to keep improving. This can only be accomplished with critical analysis and that cannot be done if we can't speak Ill of the almighty Notch. I think Notch has brought us an amazing game but it can be improved. No game is ever finished, it's only abandoned. But Minecraft is still not fully released so I like to talk about what's wrong with the game, not in any hopes that Notch will ever hear me but only to vent on the things I'd like to see improved.

As far as copycats I don't see an issue here either. What's wrong with clones really? I think the gaming world would be a much better place with more games like minecraft instead of the generic first person shooter bullshit we have coming out ever year these days.

In conclusion one thing I would like to say is I admire the MCF. I love to see this kind of passion about gaming in general and I really love to see it about a game I love so much. Fans like these are some of the best when you sit down and think about it. So rant on Minecraft Fanatic, I salute you.
