Mind Control Division

Media intelligence through investigation and experimentation

The Mind Control Division is the intelligence arm of Blaine Kyllo's Solo Corps. This department conducts investigations and experiments into media culture, which includes, but is not limited to, writing on television, video games, and books.

I’m currently writing on video games ("Trigger Happy" in the Georgia Straight and "Joystuck" in FFWD Weekly), consumer technology ("Techno Logic" in the Georgia Straight), and television ("Remote View" appears at CinemaSpy.ca).

Using the Wii to grab your balls · 28 June 2007, 18:36

My “Trigger Happy” column this week is an interview with Geoff Thomas, producer on Radical’s Scarface video game, about how his team used the gestural interface of the Wii to make becoming Tony much more real.

By grabbing your balls, flipping the bird, and using a chain saw to slice people up. Now that’s how to use motion sensing controls.

Also in this week’s Straight are my reviews of Rayman Raving Rabbids, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, and Red Steel.
