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).

Best video games made in Vancouver last year · 22 September 2011, 11:21

The annual Best of Vancouver issue of the Georgia Straight is something special.

It’s a chance for the magazine’s readers to speak out about what they like about the city, and it’s a chance for us writers and editors to call out what we think is, well, best.

This year, for the first time since I started writing on video games for the Straight, are my picks for the best games made in Vancouver since September 2010:

• Captain America: Super Soldier
• Dead Rising 2
• DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue
• FIFA 11
• Hoard
• Lego Battles: Ninjago
• Lil’ Pirates
• Space Pirates and Zombies

Congratulations to all the developers in the city who work so hard, and make such great games.
