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).

Modern Warfare's conflict can seem a little too real · 5 November 2009, 06:05

In the latest edition of the Georgia Straight is my “Trigger Happy” column. This week, I preview Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which releases next week.

‘Lest we forget’ is the message we hear every November, but that hasn’t diminished the popularity of video games about armed conflict. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is no exception. Developed by Infinity Ward, the game will be released on November 10 and is expected to be one of the best-selling games of the year.

Also this week, capsule reviews of Dragon Age: Origins and Borderlands.
