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).

So you wanna work in video games? · 5 February 2009, 12:16

This week’s Georgia Straight includes my article that looks at some of the myths about what it’s like to work in the video game industry. I spoke with Radical’s Kelly Zmak and Ubisoft’s Clint Hocking to find out whether it’s true that game developers simply play games all day.

Working in the video-game industry isn’t all fun and games. That isn’t to say there’s no fun to be had, and there are certainly games being played. But there’s more to it than that.
