Last month’s Mega Man mosaic of painted cups in a chain-link fence has a sequel, and an artist claiming responsibility for the acts of awesomeness.
When we last left Sensory Sweep, the Utah studio that just stopped paying employees, it cut a deal with the government to pay back nearly $US1 million by September. That hasn’t happened, and its founder is facing tax evasion charges.
The Deseret News heaps the last spadeful of dirt on the grave of Utah HB353, saying the state legislature appears unlikely to call a veto session because of, well, money.
After passing through the Utah House and Senate with flying colours, Jack Thompson’s video game.movie bill has been vetoed by Utah Governor Jon Huntsman.

Some idiot in Utah wrecked his so-called “bullet bike” into an SUV carrying a family of four. Everyone’s alive, including the no-shirt, no-helmet cyclist, but of course vidja games are the cause. I swear, there must be a check-block for it on police investigation forms:
As for motive, Savino told troopers this was his own video game adventure. “I don’t know whether he was trying to act out a scene in a video game or what he was trying to do, but he said it always worked for him in video games”, Roden said.
