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).

Making games for the iPhone · 5 August 2009, 12:35

If there is a growth industry in the realm of video game development, it is in creating titles for Apple’s iPhone. Nowhere is that more true than Vancouver, where a host of start-ups are working on software for the disruptive mobile device.

Such is the topic of my latest column in the Georgia Straight.

While Vancouver’s video-game sector has contracted during the recession, one part of the local development scene has been bucking the trend. The increasing appetite for games that can be played on devices such as Apple’s iPhone has made this a bright spot in the sagging economy.
