I really should have put this up yesterday… but better late than never, right?

For those of you who don’t know Edward Khil, also known as “Mr. Trololo,” well, shame on you, slightly. He’s a famous Russian baritone singer whose popularity boomed in the west in 2010 when a video of him singing a certain song went up on the net. The lyrics of that version of the song basically sounded like “Trololololololololololo,” shortened to just “Trololo,” hence the nickname. He was popular enough that he even showed up in Family Guy. In any case, he became a living meme.

Unfortunately, yesterday, June 4, 2012, Edward Khil died at age 77, ultimately due to a stroke.

Well, Edward Khil, may you rest in peace.

New Pikmin man. I want some new pikmin to throw around. Pikmin 2 introduced us to 2 new species of pikmin with purple and white. I don’t want them to destroy the simplicity of pikmin, so I want them to create another pikmin that does this. Of course we can do a pikmin that could harvest things more efficiently, which would allow you to produce more pikmin out of the onion. Another idea could be something that could burrow…I mean they are plants right? IGN wrote an article that said they would love to see a green pikmin that could heal their fellow plantmen. Personally I think this would destroy the game because it removes the simplicity of the battle and health system. I want new things but nothing that destroys the gameplay of it. So yeah…no healers.
