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).

Prices drop on video game hardware · 11 September 2009, 08:33

This week, in my “Trigger Happy” column for the Georgia Straight I talk to reps for Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony about the recent announcements about price and configuration changes on the Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3.

Gamers have long been waiting for Sony to drop the price of its PlayStation 3 console, and on September 1 they got a lower price ($299) and new hardware.

Also in this week’s Straight is my review of Batman: Arkham Asylum:

Batman knows something is amiss as he escorts the Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) into Arkham Asylum, Gotham City’s institution for the criminally insane.
