The King of the Canvas, Bob Ross, Returns

text sizeAAA
April 5, 2006

Remember Bob Ross? The afro-sproutin', oh-so mellow host of Joy of Painting was a fixture on public television in the 1980s. Sadly, he left this world for that great easel in the sky, but his "happy little trees" and "fluffy little clouds" will live on in a new video game. A company is developing the painting game for the new Nintendo system. It looks like it will be similar to the game Doom, except you'll be holding a virtual paintbrush and there won't be any blood.

The game might suck, but as Bob himself used to say: "We don't make mistakes here, we just have happy accidents."

Watch the master at work here.

Bob Ross: Games

It's a sad, sad day when we can get our children to join the rest of the world destroying nature by just playing a game. Imaginary or real? Some part of this lesson, what they learn in these games will go with them into adulthood. It just may be that lesson is that we can destroy whatever we want with no repercussions.
