I've started playing Minecraft again after a months-long hiatus.  I fired it up, and started on an arctic island.  Three days into it, and I have my goal.  I will control my island completely.  No monsters will be able to spawn, or survive.  The whole, massive island will be under my boot.  I WILL CONQUER MY ENVIRONMENT!
I do hope that includes any cave systems that connect to your island.

Of course, but the surface comes first.  I have to think of style, after all...
Come to think of it, you'll probably get the caves sorted out while mining the stupid amounts of coal you'll need to get the entire surface torched.

Which is far more tedious to acquire than just mining coal.

If there is one major flaw in Fallout: NV's gameplay, it's that you can only have one human companion with you at a time. I want to roam around the wasteland with my badass team.

Just saying: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2

Pretty much the point of this game.

I implore you to cease talking and allow me to grant you possession of the funds I have collected and brought with me.

As of this writing, this is a picture of how much area of my island I've got under my boot.  Its not much, but its significant.

I've decided to buy Minecraft. Should be mine within a few days (i.e. when the money transfers to Paypal). How does the game work exactly? Is it PvE or PvP or both? Does one have to find a server? If so, does one have to compete/work with/interact with other people on that server?

It's mainly PvE as far as combat is concerned, but some servers do focus more on PvP.  Some servers though, like the main one I play on, only have PvP in specific arena's and consider it griefing outside of said arenas.

Yes.

All of those are options. You can also play by yourself in various modes, like creative, where you have unlimited resources to build to your heart's content, and survival, where there are creepers and other various monsters that you must kill. There are different servers for different types of play, like PvP (I've seen a lot of Hunger Games-type servers lately). There are servers filled with assholes who will grief the hell out of anything you build. There's a lot to be done in the game.

Anyway, I've recently been playing Fable. Not the greatest, but it's entertaining, and I enjoy the numerous side quests and opportunities for relationships, housing, etc.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

I have required reading for you.  Because, seriously, none of the crafting recipes are explained in-game...one of the only real gripes I have bout it.
