Hello! This is my very first Blog, so introductions are in need...
During my first class in Critical games studies we were asked to answer a selection of questions in a interview. Below are the questions and my answers to those questions. This will serve as a introduction to me.
Q. What is the title of the book (fiction) you are currently reading (or the last fiction book you read)?
A. The last fiction book that I have read was "A Song of Ice and Fire, A Dance with Dragons 2: After the feast". This book wasn't too bad, however I must say the first book "Game of Thrones" in this series was a lot better as it felt more fast pace.
Q. What is the title/ topic of the book(non-fiction) you are currently reading (or the last non-fiction book you read)?
A. The topic of the book is Action Script 3.0 as i can't remember the name of the book. I thought that it was be a good idea to start learning this before the course starts so that I can get a better understanding about coding with Action Script.
Q. What is the last live performance you attended?
A. I haven't been to one in years. So long that I can't even remember, other then the fact that it was in Norwich... And free.
Q. What is the title of the last film you saw at the cinema / online or watched on DVD?
A. The last film I've watched was Pacific Rim and all I can say about that film is... Giant robots fighting colossus sized aliens, other than that nothing in that movie really stuck out.
Q. How often do you read a newspaper? (which one? online or physical?)
A. I don't read the news very much, however I do know that I should do this more. From time to time i would go onto www.computerworld.com, www.rockpapershogun.com or www.kotaku.com.
Q. Which art gallery / museum / exhibition did you last visit?
A. The last museum that I visited was with my family and we went the National science museum. We had a grand old time and ended up with very tired legs.
Q. How many hours a week do you spend playing video games?
A. The amount is very high, in fact i would say crazy high, I guess it's 105 hours a week, if not more than that. I try to play all my games as much as possible to make the game worth the purchase.
Q. How many hours a week do you spend playing games other than video games?
A. Rarely, mainly because my family doesn't play games much, so I don't get much of a chance to play board or card games with them.
Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting a course-related book into your "non-fiction" list (is it Gary Rosenzweig's Actionscript 3.0 Flash Programming University?).
One of the things about visiting the major museums is that it can be quite tiring, but I hope you'll have recovered from your trip to the Science Museum by the time we visit the British Museum later this semester to look at some of the game-related items in their collection.
