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).

Trigger Happy's holiday gift guide for gamers 2009 · 3 December 2009, 18:04

In the issue of the Georgia Straight that published today is my annual gift guide for gamers.

Admit it. Video gamers are the easiest people to buy gifts for. Every year, dozens of new games are released during the months leading up to the holiday season, and there’s bound to be a gap or two in the libraries of even the most hard-core. Shopping for a gamer might be intimidating if you can’t tell the difference between a shooter and a platformer and you can’t differentiate between good and bad games. That’s where Trigger Happy comes in. We give you the cheat sheet you’ll need to brave your local game retailer.
