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).

Xbox Live games play nice on Windows Phone 7 · 3 January 2011, 09:15

I let my computer rest for most of the holiday break, which is why I’m only now writing about a story that published on December 20.

In that edition of the Georgia Straight was my round-up of some games for Windows Phone 7 that were available at launch.

Microsoft is betting that Windows Phone 7, released this fall, will help it make gains in the vital mobile market. Like Google’s Android, WP7 isn’t a device but an operating system. By designing WP7 to integrate with gamers’ Xbox Live accounts, the software giant is hoping to get a leg up on its competitors.
