Starting Interview

Interview

Greetings viewer!

You’ve stumbled on the blog of Dudley R, a twenty year old student who has enrolled on the BA Games design course at University Campus Suffolk! Tutors invited us to create a blog (well, I say “invited”) to record the happenings of the year ahead.

So this first post is dedicated to an interview with I had with my fellow classmate Harry “Harrison”… erm… I forget his last name. Yes, so Harry asked me a bunch of questions that strangely didn’t involve gaming, and I took his notes to post on here.

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t take the notes in some kind of messed up, crazy bank heist attempt. Harry gave them to me. Didn’t even put up a fight.

Q1: What is the title of the last fiction book you read?

A: (these are directly Harry’s notes remember) “Song of Ice and Fire – Game of thrones. There is 5 and he has read 4 of them, waiting for the new one to be written.”

And happy days, I have recently been notified that the fifth book is out and has been for some time.

Q2: What was the title/topic of the last non-fiction book you last read?

A: Batman Begins Behind the scenes book.

Hey what? I loved those films and dammit, I’m going to learn every single fact about them! Then, I’lll finally be able to discover the identity of Batman – muhahahaha! See, I could be a Batman villain if I wanted.

Q3: What was the last live performance you attended?

A: Sharlottes Web, sister was in the performance, seats where right at the back so he could see fuck all.

Dammit Harry, my sister might read this! Also, it’s Charlotte’s Web, don’t worry man I can’t spell either. I mean hell, I’m writing this in word right now just for the spell checker.

Q4: What is the title of the last film you saw?

A: Avengers in 3D on a 3D TV; Amazing in 3D, Fantastic.

I may have said “3D” too many times while I talked to Harry.

Q5: How often do you read a newspaper?

A: Gets news online – Hotmail Peeds

Hotmail Peeds? Hotmail Feeds methinks.

Q6: Which museum/art gallery/ exhibition did you last visit?

A: No been to any except the recent trip to Eurogamer.

Yeah, that’s right; I’d never been to any of those things before EuroGamer. *Sniffles* Doesn’t it break your heart? Well you could always leave a donation I suppose. Give poor Dudley a chance to get some culture?

Q7: How many Hours a week do you spend playing video games? (hoo boy!)

A: Used to be 5 hours a day – but now because of uni it’s about 2-3 hours a week.

University… sapping strength… cannot pick up… controller… no health packs around… plargh!!!

Q8: How many hours a week do you spend playing games that aren’t digital?

A: Less than an hour a week –play cards, top trumps or play with coin – play how many times can flip without dropping it – record 17 times – has one sick coin.

At first I didn’t even understand the question. But yes, I do have a pretty nifty lucky coin I carry around and I flip it sometimes.

Huh… maybe I am a batman villain.
