What is the title of the book (fiction) you are
currently reading, or what is the title of the last fiction book you read?
“I’m not currently reading anything myself, but the last
fictional book I read was Game of Thrones a Song of Ice and Fire. I do admit
that the reason I started to read it was because of the TV show, yet I enjoyed
the book just as much as the show because there are a lot of things left out.
The dreams that Brandon Stark has in the books are much more vivid compared to
the dream he has in the show. I really
liked this cause it felt like I was being rewarded for reading and watching it.”
·
What is the title/topic of the book (non-fiction)
you are currently reading, or what is the title/topic of the last nonfiction
book you read?
“I don’t really read many nonfiction books unless you where
to count news articles, so I guess the last nonfiction book I read would be the
art of game design. I currently have it on loan from the library and have been
reading bits of it every day. The only
chapter that I have read in full is chapter 8. It is mostly about how to find your
target audience and the questions that you should ask yourself in order to know
what experience your audience will receive. I think this will be helpful in the
coming weeks.”
·
What is the last live performance (music, drama or
dance) you attended?
“If you include a live comedy show than the last performance
I have seen was an open mic night at the comedy club in central London last
summer. I enjoy that people where able to just go up on stage and have a go.
The last drama piece I saw was an inspector calls in 2012. It was enjoyable but
they did find it hard to captivate the audience at points.”
·
What is the title of the last film you saw at a
cinema, online or watched on DVD?
“The last film that I saw at the cinema was Sin city 2. The
film was very good and made a great sequel to Sin city, the art style of the
film was very aesthetically pleasing too look at as well. I loved the burst of
colour that would appear every now and then, which made it most enjoyable to
watch especially as a graphic novel nerd.”
·
How often do you read the newspaper? (Which one?
Online or physical?)
“I tend to read a lot of articles that are on websites like
reddit which gives me a wide range of different news websites’ too read from. I
also like the joke news website The Onion which can be quite fun for a bit of amusement.
When I live in London I would often read the metro which could be found on
buses and trains. While not the best news paper around, it did make my morning
commute to college easier.”
·
Which art gallery, museum or exhibition did you
last visit?
“The last exhibition I went to was the body work exhibition
when it was at the O2 arena in London. It was quite the experience to see. It’s
hard to explain the feeling of being in there, you are aware that you are
walking around a room that is filled with dead bodies, yet you don’t feel any uneasiness
or restlessness but instead are filled with wonder.”
·
How many hours a week do you spend playing video
games?
“Well before I came to university I would spend every waking
moment stuck to a computer screen, but now I have a course and a girlfriend to
spend time on so my time spent playing games have dropped drastically. I now
probably only spend about 18 hours a week.”
·
How many hours a week do you spend playing games
other than video games?
“I don’t really play many non-digital games apart from the
occasional game of risk. Although I would like to get into dungeons and
dragons.”
