Anyone else like trolling people by putting TNT pressur plate traps in people's houses?
That's a bit cruel don't you think?
I don't really use TNT since killing creepers is such a pain, if I can get a decent load of gunpowder though I might try to make a cannon like I did on the old GTP server.

Thanks buddy! I admit I was hooked on that game for a few days but I have tapered down a tad.
I will help you build stuff when I see you on next.

I duped TNT and put down about 300 of these in a straight line and created the biggest trench along with some serious lag! But it is cool cause it looks like stop motion while it is exploding.

I agree, it's alot better!
Bought Minecraft for PC in the hopes I could play it on the pc here at work, but I can't
Although this thing can run all the Facebook apps and other stupid in-browser games, it can't run Minecraft 
Guess I have to play it at home then. Anybody else play it on the PC?

So I guess it doesn't run like a champ but it gets me by.

From the Official XB360 Magazine
4J has announced a new Minecraft Xbox 360 update to address problems with the recently released Minecraft Xbox 360 update 1.7.3. As detailed on Twitter, this one's "a bug fix update to resolve a pistons crash and rendering issue, plus a few more minor issues" which will "hopefully [be] out within two weeks".
Known post-1.7.3 problems include a lighting issue which results in a stuttery frame rate, rain coming through the roof, mysteriously empty inventories, pickaxes that don't mine correctly on their last use before breakage, glass casting a shadow and players having their settings zeroed. Read all about it over here.
The developer has also teased an announcement of some kind, to accompany news of the second Minecraft Xbox 360 DLC skin pack. "Some skins from the coming Skin Pack 2 might be shown as part of an announcement from another games company on the 24th. Watch the web."
Wonder what the bugs will be like after Minecraft Xbox 360 update 1.8.2? That's supposed to be the tricky one. Here's a video of Matt and Log exploring OXM Land, our very own Minecraft kingdom.
