Minecraft sucks

I got Minecraft (Alpha) yesterday. I played for a few hours. I made a castle, a dungeon, and a house. I realized that's pretty much what the entire game was. It's like Legos, but slower and you can kill stuff. If you're thinking about getting it, the free version is almost exactly the same. The weapons/enemies don't really add anything to the game. Don't waste 9.95 Euros on it.

Remember this old viral video that started Minecrafts popularity?

Seeing this guy burning his house down gave you hope that Minecraft would finally be a game that would shelter you from idiots, and that would chemo them away in this very fashion, didn't I?

Well, let's see how fire works in todays Minecraft.
Fire spreads through "Wood, Logs, Leaves, Wool, and Bookcase blocks".
That's it.
That means that it won't burn wooden chests, wooden stairs, wooden slabs, fences, or anything like that. Unless you build your house out of wood, you're 100% safe. Any furry can put a chest in the middle of a LAVA lake and its contained belongings will be perfectly safe.

But what about TNT then? TNT is a pretty unstable explosive. If I brought real-life TNT anywhere NEAR lava, I'd be the very DEFINITION of "Fucked".
Well, TNT can actually be detonated by lava. ...if you leave it in the midst of a lava lake for a couple of MINUTES. If you hit the TNT until it breaks during this time, it will simply be swallowed up by the lava lake, and everything will be fine and dandy.
