·                     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.”
