The Joy of Painting
I love me some Bob Ross. I was sooo sad when news of his passing got to me. My childhood memories are filled with things like "happy little trees" and "persian blue". His voice had some weird mid-west/canadian twist to it but somehow it was very soothing. He inspired me so, i used to squeeze toothpaste onto a piece of paper and re-inact his show.
HE'S COMING TO THE NINTENDO DS! Yes Nintendo showed off a strange demo called Mario Paint years ago for the Nintendo 64. Then the whole project disappeared. I guess it took a cool device with a touchscreen to really bring it back to life, and if it lets you paint like Bob Ross, I'm all for it! Imagine learning how to paint, sharing it with friends thru Nintendo's WiFi service and uploading it to your computer to print.
This is another one of those Nintendo video games that isn't really a video game. If anything, it's another hit for Nintendo. I can't wait!

Oh my god! I thought I was the only one that knew who this guy was. I remember watching him after sesame street on PBS.
His voice was like lithium. Soooo soothing.
Video games that aren't based on killing - what a thought.
