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).

Next Level brings Captain America to life · 2 August 2011, 08:47

In the July 13 edition of the Georgia Straight is my feature look at Captain America: Super Soldier, the action adventure game developed in Vancouver at Next Level Games.

The video game Captain America: Super Soldier is technically a movie tie-in for the summer blockbuster film Captain America: The First Avenger, which opens in theatres on July 22. But aside from being released at the same time, there is little connecting the two properties.

I also take a peek at what’s been going on inside the top secret bunker at Next Level, where games for Nintendo are developed.

In the middle of one of the floors occupied by Next Level Games in downtown Vancouver is a bunker. It’s a walled garden within the studio, complete with its own security access and network connections.
