Epic Mickey desktop wallpaper (link roundup)



Destructoid posted lots of concept art from the new Epic Mickey game. I took the liberty of creating a widescreen desktop wallpaper using Oswald and the creepy zombie/robo Donald. Also, Kotaku posted an interview with Warren Spector about the game.

And a few more links:

1. Longtime Los Angeles Times columnists Steve Lopez describes visiting a doctor to get a medical marijuana prescription. The doctor was a gynecologist. He prescribed the marijuana for Lopez's reported back pain. (He's also at least the third LA Times columnist to write about obtaining medical marijuana.)

2. Vercorin, Switzerland features an optical illusion created by Felice Varini, called "Cercle et suite d'éclats." When you view the town from the right spot, a bunch of circles appear. Via these sites.

3. The U.S. Military has a technology for catching bombplanters called Vader ("Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar").

3. Papercraft taco trucks. Via.

4. Seems overblown, but here's how a reporter discovered Chris Anderson's plagiarism (hint, it involved a strange use of parentheses).
