Hi there!
So yesterday I was tasked with interviewing, and in turn being interviewed by, Mr Tom Kedik. Tom conducted himself, as usual, in full character for the entire task which is always fun :)
Here are my questions and answers, transcribed from Tom's notes which he passed on to me after the interview:
Tom: What is the title of the book (fiction) you are currently reading?
Darren: That would be 'Death Note Volume 1', which is a manga collection about a boy who finds a note book which kills anyone who's name is written inside. Its very Japanese in its craziness which is why I love it.
Tom: What is the title and topic of the book (non-fiction) you are currently reading?
Darren: The non-fiction book I'm currently reading is 'Challenges For Games Designers'. Great book with lots of information and non digital challenges that I can do either on my own or with others to improve many skills within Games Design. Glad I bought it!
Tom: What was the last live performance you went to see?
Darren: The last live performance I went to see was my 6 year old sisters dance recital. She got trapped on the wrong side of the curtains..... It was cute and I laughed..... (Sorry Emily)
Tom: What was the title of the last film you saw at the cinema?
Darren: I watched 'Pain and Gain' with Dwayne 'THE ROCK' Johnson and Mark Wahlberg. Great film, loved every second of it. Could not stop laughing!
Tom: How often do you read the news paper?
Darren: I hate world events and live in a bubble (not what I said but Tom saw fit to wright this instead..... Thanks Tom)
Tom: Which art gallery / exhibition did you last visit?
Darren: The last exhibition I visited was Eurogamer Expo but before that was the British Art Museum. I popped in to use the facility's while visiting London and ended up being drawn in for a few hours :)
Tom: How many hours a week do you spend playing video games?
Darren: At the moment only about 5 or 6 hours a week due to starting university and being social for fresher's week. hopefully I'll be able to top that up soon with the new GTA and Legend of Zelda games on my shelf ready to suck hours of my life away in what will feel like a mere few minuets.
Tom: And lastly how many hours a week do you spend playing other, non-digital, games
Darren: Again currently only about 5 hours a week due to adjustments with uni life and that's mostly on pen and paper role playing games. Though again I would like to push this up a bit with more table top and board games.
Hi Darren,
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting one of the recommended course texts into the "non-fiction" category!
The sister / curtain thing sounds like it might have been something to see; hopefully nobody was too badly damaged by it.
I don't know what/where the British Art Museum is (is it something like the Tate Gallery or National Portrait Gallery?) You'll have a chance to have a look at some of the game-related exhibits at the British Museum later in the semester, so that'll be another trip to look forward to!
