What if we told you that a dead painter with an afro hairdo was planning one of the few Revolution games known to be in any stage of development right now? What if we told you that he looks like the man in the image to the right and the news broke over April Fools' weekend? Yeah? Well it's true. We think.
From Bob Ross' official site:
Yeah, so there you have it, another Revolution game emerges and leaves us full of a tantalising mixture of anticipation and dread... Of course, the game is still to find a publisher, but given the lack of creative titles for Nintendo DS, and Mario Paint a title exclusively revealed on SPOnG, is still a long way from release, we say 'easy now... that's right, nice and easy. As long as you like it, that's what's really important.'
Revolution: Months from launch and already the greatest videogames machine of all time.
From Bob Ross' official site:
In Production.
Bob Ross Video Game.
Bob Ross Inc. has announced in March 2006 that they have filed a letter of intent to license to Joseph Hatcher's AGFRAG Entertainment Group to develop exclusively worldwide video/computer games based on Bob Ross' creative, unique and easy to learn painting techniques and TV show properties.
The Bob Ross video game, currently untitled, is planned to be developed for PC, the Nintendo DS handheld & on Nintendo's next-gen system coming later this year, code named Revolution. Release date was not announced. AGFRAG is currently seeking a publisher.
AGFRAG's Director of Development, Joseph Hatcher, has this to say about the announcement:
"I grew up watching Bob Ross on PBS and was always in awe of how quickly and smoothly he made these beautiful paintings, which helped inspire my creativity. There are generations that know Bob Ross and his painting techniques, and I want to share his talent with future generations in a new medium.
The Bob Ross game will utilize the unique inputs that the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution have that can truly immerse the players while they learn to paint like Bob Ross and can play the addictive and fun games that we have planned for the title. I believe that Bob Ross Inc's and AGFRAG Entertainment Group's similar beliefs in independence, creativity, and teaching others will benefit how the game is developed and how the players of all ages will be able to enjoy this game.
I want the community to share with us their favorite Bob Ross shows, painting techniques, and what they’d like to see in the NDS and Revolution games. We want to keep the brush going."

He's wasn't creepy. Hypnotic, mesmerising, but not creepy. Sometimes I'll be channel surfing when I stumble across the Joy of Painting, and I just get kinda stuck on watching it - it's proper theraputic.
As Bob might have said; Whatever... It does matter.

Truly this man has produced some of the worst paintings in history. Whenever someone tells you that the 70s were the peak of human civilisation, ask them to look at this rubbish.

If someone told me the 70s were the peak of human civilisation, I'd assume they were mad.
