Ok, bear with me here, because I myself find this idea a bit absurd.
I'm thinking of a new rare monster, rarer than ghasts appearing in the overworld near a nether portal.
What is it?
The Cool Creeper
Essentially, its just a creeper wearing sunglasses that moves slightly slower than a normal creeper, but explodes much more powerfully (think double the current creeper), and spawns with a small entourage of other creepers. Normally it would drop five gunpowder, enough for one tnt block, but...
The upside to this simple update would be that if killed (insert convoluted drop method here) it drops a blue record that plays funky creeper hip-hop kickin' creeper techno rave music on the jukebox. And yes, that means duking it out for three rounds with a herd of creepers led by one that explodes bigger, (insert convoluted drop fiasco here). You gotta earn them tunes sucka!
I had this idea shortly after I remembered the slogan from somewhere and posted it, then GreyAcumen (great guy) demanded it be made into a cool animated GIF and T-shirts.
I was immediately inspired by his enthusiasm and whipped this image up in MS paint (I'm not too good at GIF animations, but I can do them) and posted it for the lulz. After a short amount of time, I made it into a sig, and then broke down after looking at it for a few pages and whipped this up. Whaddya guys think?
(EDIT: updated with suggestions from Grey Acumen and myself)
(EDIT: Overdue update, will look through more for interesting stuff. I love you guys. Especially you muncher. <3)
I love the image. I personally think it should be refined a bit to use smoother lines and curves, but that's pretty much the exact attitude and posture needed. The foot that is currently furthest to the right should maybe not have the line that segments it from the rest of the leg.
Sadly, I don't think it should be in game, but merely an iconic image. If it were to be implemented, it should creep MUCH slower(a good 1/2 or 1/4 normal creeper speed), have an even longer fuse, but explode roughly 5 times the radius. (and also drop a full 5 Gunpowder)
Cool Creeper: Ssssssssss
Player: OHSHI-! *runs*
Cool Creeper: ssssssssss
Player: Uh...
Cool Creeper: sssssssss
Player: 8goes back to check* Is this thing gonna explode or what?
You kinda come off as a ***** there muncher. Poppin' everyone's ideas like a balloon met a porqupine (I'm sure that's not how you spell it). The world needs people like you, yes, keeps the over enthusiastic, like myself, from blastin' stupid ideas out the yin-yang. But you could tone down the douche-y-ness a bit with a smilie somewhere. (Granted I don't use too many myself but still. . .)
Best implementation for this probably is just a rare skin swap on creeper as an easter egg. Creepers that move faster and explode twice as large is silly, and so is one that moves slower with a 5x explosion.

~ I've thought about the phrase 'Money is the root of all evil' and I have to disagree. Evil isn't dependant on an object. I say that want is the root of all evil.
I like Acumen's suggestion of it being slower, but that makes it an easier target. If it was implemented, maybe make it have slightly higher health. As for the rare skin swap, that would be cool too, but there should be some reward for finding something so rare. Granted spider riding skeletons dont drop more than they normally do, but it technically has the chance to give double the drop from one monster.
Seriousness is relative. I'm serious about minecraft. Serious about it being a fun and enjoyable game with a few breaks in the constant life/death struggle between you and the mobs.
Edit: Just had an idea. Rather than making it so that the 'cool creeper' blows up 5x, make it blow up 2x, but always spawn with a group of 2-3 other normal creepers.

Kind of like a Creeper Gang! The cool one must be the leader!

I once saw a chicken push a creeper off of a cliff. I never looked at chickens the same way ever again. That is of course until I needed feathers.

Nope. I tell people things how it is. If there idea is bad and doesn't belong in the game I tell them that.
Oh zopah I like your sig :wink.gif:

Muncher is right, listen to him, he can cure the blind and make paraplegics walk.
If you like creepers with sunglasses, maybe you can change their skin for your own game? I am okay without it. You are asking Notch to waste time for mob that is not new, just a creeper with sunglasses.
OMG soooo much time wasted, So hard to draw two sideways Ds on the face of the creeper and 2 black lines along the side of the head. That 30 seconds he spent on it could make the difference between Minecarts being fixed or not, god.
Oh goodie, multiple opinions. I've sparked a debate over my own Idea! I feel special.
Also, consider this: Pumpkins are little more than an easter egg as of this point, yet they serve multiple functions that are mostly for amusement and not much else. Reeds are components for a block that is merely cosmetic, and clay is the same. If I'd wanted brick blocks, I could have done a re-skin myself, but no, notch decided of his own accord LONG before I even knew this game existed to make bricks available. If I'd wanted bookcases, I could have done a block re-skin myself, yet Notch decided himself to implement bookcases. Pumpkins would have been far out of my league, but notch came up with and put in this idea on his own into minecraft, and it was a purely cosmetic, easter-eggish object. IMHO, a Creeper with sunglasses that dropped kickin' music would be on par with the pumpkins.

Yes notch inputs GOOD Ideas on his own.

Exactly. No matter how I may advertise this, it is ultimately up to notch as to whether he implements this idea or not. By replying, even negatively, you bump my thread up and increase his chances of noticing it, by which time it would be up to him, and neither of us would have control of it from that point.

It is actually quite a good idea
Every game needs a little humor,that's the reason I found New vegas better than F3
There is a reason not to add this to the game and its only because people think minecraft is a serious game.
Why so serious?
I don't agree with the gold sword = blue record deal. Keep it so that killing the Cool Creeper with a skeleton arrows is what sets it off, same as the normal creepers.
I'm thinking of a new rare monster, rarer than ghasts appearing in the overworld near a nether portal.

funky creeper hip-hopkickin' creeper techno rave music on the jukebox. And yes, that means duking it out for three rounds with a herd of creepers led by one that explodes bigger, (insert convoluted drop fiasco here). You gotta earn them tunes sucka!I had this idea shortly after I remembered the slogan from somewhere and posted it, then GreyAcumen (great guy) demanded it be made into a cool animated GIF and T-shirts.

And we need a blue record with hip-hop on it. I want to have a fly beat to smack down the mobs to.
I don't see why it's gotta move slower, though. I can already outrun a creeper. Fighting one of these guys with a sword would be a breeze.
