Interview type up:
"What is the title of the book (Fiction) you are currently reading, or what is the title of the last fiction book you read?"

My last fictional book I read was Game of Thrones, which I gained interest in whilst watching a youtuber called "SidewaysThinker". The book was great however slower and slow my reading progressed and as of now I am only on page 200.
"SidewaysThinker" did Lore, Book and Tv comparison which is what interested me the most as it was what the media missed, The Books had so much more info but slower pacing but the Tv show had less information and more action and better visualization.

"What is the title/topic of the book (Non-Fiction) you are currently reading, or what is the title/topic of the last non-fiction book you read?"

The Dictionary does not count and other then Jesse Schelle's Art of Game Design book, the last non fiction book I remember would be A criminology book - techniques of finding evidence, however this was a long time a go and the reason was due to an anime called "Death note" which had a strong look at criminology and detective novel feel.

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

The last time I went to a music, drama or dance, would be back in primary school with the group assemblies and we had to once a year host the stage and due to being in a christian school (Even if I'm not christian) we had to sing christian songs and play's.

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

The last English movie or film I can't remember however the most resent film would be a non-English one, "Code Geass: Akito The Exiled" to which each episode is the same length as an hour movie.

"How often do you read a newspaper? (Which one? Online or Physical?)"

I read Yahoo News if something interesting pops up or something related to media however it rare it grabs my attention to the news. If gaming related and the information on the side is not correct I do tend to get angry due to the fact of painting the gaming community and industry like it's a bad thing and it cause more violence or destruction then  creativity.

"Which Art gallery/Museum/Exhibition did you last visit?"

The last Art Gallery I went to was one in Germany, Berlin. Due to college having the trip and saying it would help are studies I went to the week trip to Germany and Art Gallery was one of the many thing we visited. The peers played a shouting game in the Art Gallery and it was not the best thing to due, The security guard sent the wrong student out of the Gallery and overall with the most broken English spoke to the tutor, in which was both rude and silly with his way of saying "he should control his students."

"How many hours a week do you spend playing video games?"

Depending on my mood and if I have new games and time I would say an hour a day so 7 hours a week, this is due to just when I have time to play or record games, If not then play less then an hour some days.

"How many hours a week do you spend playing games other them video games"

I spend Wednesday's playing Badminton and recently have been trying to play more card games like YuGiOh and board games. so an guess for a week of hours spent on this would be roughly 5 hours a week.
