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).

ModNation Racers is mucho fun · 20 May 2010, 17:20

Vancouver’s United Front Games studio releases its first game next week, and ModNation Racers is just what you want from a kart racer.

My look at it – and the studio – are featured in this week’s Georgia Straight. Also there is my review of the game.

On Cinco de Mayo (May 5), United Front Games invited the media to its studio in Yaletown to take a look at ModNation Racers. It was fitting, given that the kart-racing game … is partly inspired by Mexican wrestlers like Blue Demon.
