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).

Movie games getting better · 10 July 2009, 12:00

Fast Forward Weekly this week includes my “Joystuck” column, which this time around is a look at some of this summer’s video games that are based on movies.

The summer blockbuster season is upon us and these days the big movies also get big video games. Often, the most successful video games based on movies are those that don’t try to rehash the film, but use the celluloid story and setting as an inspiration.
