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).

Review: Lucidity · 21 November 2009, 10:48

Among my writing for the Globe & Mail this fall is my review of Lucidity, developed and published by Lucasarts. It’s quite an affecting and emotional game, inspired and informed by Little Red Riding Hood.

I was weeping by the time I got to the end of Lucidity. I hadn’t expected the video game, available on PC and Xbox Live Arcade, to be so affecting, but this finely designed game, which tells the story of a young girl searching for her grandmother, snuck up on me.
