The Weekend Playlist, 19th January 2013

[Гость PlayStation®]

Good morning all! After a favourable reaction last week, we’ve decided to take The Weekend Playlist to full season. This week’s special guest is Mr Gordon Midwood, the mad genius behind Derrick the Deathfin, which is currently on sale on PSN. Here we go:

Fred Dutton, SCEE Blog Manager

What was the last video game you played?
It’s been another heavy week of Far Cry 3, but the most literal response to the question is LittleBigPlanet PS Vita on the bus home last night. I’ve just started it, and it’s predictably lovely.

What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
Horror flick The House at the End of the Street. 90 minutes of my life I won’t get back

What was the best book or article you read this week?
A great piece on GamesIndustry.biz about violence in videogames. In the wake of the gun control brouhaha over in the US this week, it made for a very thought-provoking read.

What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
I’m in a bit of a dry spell right now. Something old perhaps? Jonathan Coulton – JoCo Looks Back?

Jawad Ashraf, PlayStation Store Content Coordinator

What was the last video game you played?
Persona 4 Golden, of course! I’m inching my way through it. 60 hours in and I still feel like there’s much to do!

What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
A live action rendition of one of my favourite movies,

. I only saw the first 20 minutes but I was quite impressed! I’ve really gotta get me a Woody doll…

What was the best book or article you read this week?
I read in a local paper that plans for a new cinema could go ahead. It’s been 10 years without a local cinema!

What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
A bunch of game soundtracks (Okami, ZOE) mixed with some Korean tunes from the likes of the great Epik High.

Chris Howe, PS Store and Plus Coordinator

What was the last video game you played?
FIFA 13. Always a winner and great on the PS Vita for the commute to and from Sony towers!

What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
I went to see Gangster Squad on Monday and it was brilliant. I’d recommend it to anyone!

What was the best book or article you read this week?
I’m sure many of you read the same thing, but horse meat in burgers!??! What is that about?! No more burgers for me please!

What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
I’m going back a few years today and listening to The Kooks – Inside In Inside Out.

Gordon Midwood, Head of Fresh Produce, Different Tuna

What was the last video game you played?
To The Moon, which is a very touching and lovely PC game.

What was the last movie/TV show you watched?
I have been watching a lot of Africa, the BBC documentary show. I have to say I love it; such stunning cinematography.

What was the best book or article you read this week?
Ah-hah! I have been reading Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini. It’s a fascinating book which I was lead to it via this amazing article on a professional pickpocket. I have been employing some of the psychological techniques in the book in my everyday life and it has already helped me to achieve some amazing things: for example, featuring twice on PlayStation Blog in one week!

What tunes are soundtracking your weekend?
That question sounds entirely too youth-orientated to be directed at me. The soundtrack to my weekend will probably be that of the tortured screams of children denied a sixth packet of sweets. I can tell you what music I listened to today though! Matta, who are some pretty cool dubstep artists, and Monster Magnet, who are some not-pretty cool not-dubstep artists.
