Introduction Interview


  • What book are you currently reading?
    • I am currently reading "Rise Of The Videogame Zinesters" by Anna Anthropy. 
    • Then when I finish that I am planning on reading "delay, paying attention to energy mechanics" by Zoya Street. 

  • What is the last live performance (music, drama, dance) you attended?
    • None really. I cannot remember the last time I watched any live performance.
    • Unless you count sport as a live performance. As I frequently watch many sports. Such as Football, Cricket and Formula one.  

  • What is the title of the last film you saw?
    • Disney's Frozen. It's actually quite good and I now understand why it has become so popular. 
    • It has interesting engaging characters, memorable music and a compelling story.

  • How often do you read a newspaper?
    • I used to read a physical paper ever day, sometimes multiple. Now though I just read Charlie Brooker's articles he writes for the guardian online and get the rest of my news from sites such as BBC News instead. 

  • Which art gallery / museum / exhibition did you last visit?
    • I went to the Imperial War Museum Duxford last year. 

  • How many hours a week do you play video games?
    • Thats a complicated question because I used to play 30+ hours of video games a week. However recently I have been busy, therefore I have only been playing around 6 or 7 hours a week. 

  • How many hours a week do you spend playing non digital games?
    • Another complicated question because I do not regularly play any non digital games but then at times I could play allot.
