This week has come to and end, time for an update on what's been happening over here.

Wednesday the recording of the interviews for the next video diary took place, in our meeting room "Bandit's Camp". Woody and I spend the whole Tuesday afternoon taping the windows with black plastic (we used bin bags and gaffer tape). The lights have been a bit crazy, but it fits nicely with the theme of the episode and what the interviewees are talking about. In total there was about 45 minutes on tape, of which 60% can now be used to 'paint' the story. It's ever so complicated, I've listened to the entire tape four times already and some bits are starting to come together. It's hard, trying to get all these different aspects, viewpoints and bits of information about Fable 2 put together so that it makes sense both in terms of audio and visuals, plus all of this within the 5-8 minute time limit. Everyone gave a really interview, and several questions posted in an earlier Community Call were also asked and recorded, giving me only more material to work with, but also more to drop and leave on the cutting floor!

It'll take up to a month before I'm finished with Episode Four, everyone is happy with it and the actual release of the video. Everyone seems to be enjoying them, so there are quite a lot more episodes already planned.

Last night Peter joined a debate at Cambrige University, at the student's union. The motion being proposed was something along the lines of "All the videogames in the world put together aren't as as a single page of a book"*. We left at about four in the afternoon and it took us three hours to get there, arriving fashionably late. You can blame it entirely on the M25! It was really interesting, and pretty impressive, with having to leave by the "Aye" or "No" door to count the votes. The motion didn't get enough votes so it was rejected. This was announced in the bar with a nice beer. We eventually made it back into Guildford at about 1 in the morning...

This morning I walked right into the bloody stationary cup board at work, my nose has a cut (I was bleeding like a pig), spilled an entire cup of coffee over myself and on top of that ended up with a massive headache. But luckily it's Friday evening, there's still some people in the office (some playing games). Some of us will be going out for a drink in the pub, in the pouring rain. How more British does it get?
