1. Interview Questions (Game Studies)

Interview Questions

Basically lets start with a short starter of what this blog is all about. This blog was all about communication with your partner to your left or right depending on where you where siting in the room of the time of this task. Now the sad truth, me and my partner only said one or two words to each other so we have no interesting and exciting or engaging questions and answers to share in this blog other than names. But i can still answer the question myself and tell you all the information of what i am interested in otherwise this blog will be very boring to read with limited information.

Now that that's been explained and we know where we stand lets get on with some questions and answers which hopefully is interesting to you. i will add some bonus questions and answers which i would like to share in my blog. Also sorry about some of the images and videos there uncontrollable for some reason. 

What is the the title of the book (fiction) you are currently reading, or what is the title of the last fiction book you read?   

This is an interesting question i found that the last book i can remember reading was Harry Potter and the half blood prince. Which you can see on the right side of the screen and this is the front cover of the book. This is the one book where you find out that professor Snape is the half-blood prince (SPOILER ALERT) and this is what was well placed in the books in the films its all about Dumbledore dying which no-one see coming just like snape being the half blood prince. 
We are talking about 3-4 years ago when i was reading this book other then that i don't read many books i am more of a music and games lover person which we will talk about later. Also i have adder a short film clip to keep everyone interested who is reading this only 2 mins long worth playing so you can understand what i am on about if you have not seen harry potter the films or the books (why have you not?)

What was the last live performance (music,drama, or dance) you attended?

This would be latitude 2014 (Not as good as latitude 2013 but still good live music) This is a festival in Suffolk, Henham park. I have been to the festival 2 years running and the music which is attracted to these festivals is just the same as others festivals like Glastonbury and reading but these festivals are on a bigger scale. I will now show you an image of latitude 2013 and 2014. The first image is one of the best music moment in my life where headliners 'Foals' where playing live on the last day. Words can not describe how good this was and this image was taken live when the lead singer (Yannis Philippakis) was finishing his last song with his band going crowed surfing with his wireless guitar what a legend. unfortunately it was almost impossible to get to the front but i was still mid/front when he was playing. The next image shows the lead singer of the Black Keys playing and singing and this was at latitude 2014 which is on the far right. Now i will be showing a quick clip of foals playing live so you can understand the sort of music i am on about for yourself enjoy.

What is the title of the best film you saw at the cinema/online or watched on DVD?

I have changed this question to best film as this i thought would make the question more interesting i would have to say The incredibles. Which i have seen at the cinema and on DVD. Now stay with me on this one, When i was around the age of 9-10 i would watched this film so many times and i must of seen this film on average, not ever joking when i say this 25 times. Why? you may ask its a Excellent film. The story line and the action in this film is bang on and the way they have created the cartoon character animation is fantastic i will as always show some images and a movie clip to keep everyone interested and engaged and hopefully you will be happy to see what part of the film this clip is from if you have seen this film.

What sort of music do you like?

This is a question which some people will have different views on. I find that whatever music you lessen to will say a lot about you and the way you are and what sort of other things you may possible like. Anyway the sort of music i like is more house and garage sort of music also a bit of rock here and there. Other then that there is not much other music i enjoy. Examples of the sort of music i like would be foals which i have already spoken about and 2 main artists i would like to bring to peoples attentions Flume and Disclosure. The first image will be of disclosures popular album settle which is very populate in the UK and America with there garage still music with club style beats. The second album cover is of a DJ called flume who lives and produces music in Australia who is fast becoming populate in the UK and is already in Australia and America. I would say at the moment his music is very unique and looks like him music could head in the right direction in the future. Also just to let you know i hate chart music so this is not welcome on my blog and is not up for discussion. 

How many hours a week do you spend playing games?

I would have to say i did spend about 42 hours a week playing games that's 6 hours a day but this only happens if like nothing else would come up in the week to stop me from playing games. At this moment in time i would have to say that my play time on games has decreased as i have been busy moving into university and understand the course work on my course so at the moment now i would have to say only about 2 hours a day which would then be 12 hours a week. This is an image of mass effect 2 a game a game i very much like as well as other games like Halo Reach and Monster Hunter 3 and a bit of borderlands.

That is all the questions on my sheet i have written down to answer on my blog. Hope who ever is reading this likes the sort of things i have been sharing as i have gone over most of the basics otherwise i could type on forever on some of the topics i really like. Maybe you agree with some of the answers to my questions i have posted today who knows.

Thanks Ben Greenhalgh
