Save and Save Often in Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition

Minecraft on the Xbox 360 is the popular girl in school right now and even I managed to get sucked in despite owning the PC version and knowing the XBLA version is a year-old build. I love building whatever I want with no set goals and the tension caused by the potential loss of hours of work from a creeper exploding, sending lava or water flooding throughout my ADHD-created mine; it keeps the game exciting. What doesn't keep the game exciting, however, is losing hours and hours of work because the game kicked me to the main menu.

I was indeed kicked and it might as well been a kick to the balls, my blocky, pixelated balls. At first I thought all was well as the game claims to autosave whenever a certain icon pops on screen, but I learned the hard way that the autosave system is either a lie or broken. Hopefully this little problem will be patched and patched soon, but until then, I recommend you save and save often if you're one of the million people already playing Minecraft on the Xbox 360.
