As an introduction to the critical games studies module, we were asked to provide an interview and also interview someone else so that we could get to know another member of our group. Below are the questions, along with the answers i gave to that interview.
What is the title of the book (fiction) you are currently reading (or the last fiction book you read)?
Fiction books do not tend to interest me as much as non-fiction. I prefer to read about real events or subjects. Having said that, I'm not really into books that much, i would much rather watch a film.
What is the title/topic of the book (non-fiction) you are currently reading (or the last non-fiction book you read)?
One of the very few books i have read was called "A child called it" which i read as part of my final project on a sociology course.
What is the last live performance (music, drama or dance) you attended?
The last performance i saw was about 2-3 weeks ago on board a cruise ship. There was a Theatre company on board which regularly performed scenes and songs from various musicals and shows.
What is the title of the last film you saw at the cinema/online or watched on DVD?
The last film i watched was called Shutter Island and it is probably the best film i have seen this year. However, i have yet to see Inception which is apparently incredible.
How often do you read a newspaper? (which one?)
Never. I tend to avoid depressing news as much as possible, which is the type of news that newspapers love to promote. I usually get my news from websites like Digg.com which tends to have a few funny and more enjoyable stories to read.
Which art gallery/museum/exhibition did you last visit?
That was probably The Science Museum in London when i was about 14.
How many hours a week do you spend playing video games?
Not as much as i once did. Currently, i rarely go over an hour of gaming a day, unless its the weekend and I've got allot of free time.
How many hours a week do you spend playing games other than video games.
Very few, less than 1 hour a week, if that.
