Even as inexpensive as Minecraft is, I'm still too cheap to buy access to it, even if it is good for the entire lifetime of the game.

Right, but it falls in line with the idea that I don't need an account. Although it would be fun, I can just troll around until I find someone generous\bored enough to spend the ~$10 on an account, or get the account of someone who doesn't want to play anymore.

You fool! You must get it NOW!

This is a game about fear, isolation, adventure, exploration, defeats and small rewards.

You make your own story. Literally, prepare for Descent.

it's also a game about the epic results of your broken level generator

No, that just looks like some guy screwing around with one of the mods.

Personally, I think Minercraft looks boring.  ::)

If you're going by the free version, don't form an opinion on it. The free version is less than 5% of what the actual game offers.

But nothing is better than running blindly into a dark cave with an armful of torches while constantly watching your back to ensure that the creeper isn't there! (And if he is there, stabbing his face with an iron sword never gets old)

@ Matt: No, I'm going off the fact that I just don't think it's the kind of game I would be interested in. :)

From what I've seen, it's very much a "Make whatever you want" type of game. There's even someone who created a model of the simple calculatio part thingie of a CPU. It worked, and was freaking large...
Over all, its a sandbox game that puts many other sandbox games to shame. The gameplay more than makes up for the basic geometry that everything is built out of.

People like making sprites from various video games like Metroid, Megaman, etc.

You can even get different looking avatars rather than your default. Mine is a poorly done Zero from Megaman X (which I am slowly modifying to look better) and Matt looks like the Borg.

Internal Diagnostics do not detect any malfunctioning.  Perhaps there is a problem with your systems?  ;)
