Excellent issue of Quench this time round, not too many mistakes either! I've seen people reading my Cliches article round campus which is great.
I also wrote a little addendum, in this week's GR, to my friend and current flatmate Jamie McKay's EU referendum article, to remind students to vote. You'll also see one of my tweets but that wasn't intentional!

With exam season temporarily over, it's time to write as many articles as I can.
In Gair Rhydd science, I wrote about Ravens. I also wrote about the Aussie film The Smuggler, aka the Mule for Quench Film and TV. Fellow QGames ed Saman and I went to the opening of a new attraction here in Cardiff, Escape Rooms, and I gave it a verdict. Next week in Gair Rhydd there should be two articles from me hopefully, and I'm working on a cool new Quench Games piece a bit like the one I did for the Wales Game Dev Show. Two excellent pieces this week if I do say so myself...
Up now on the Quench website (featured, no less), my Hunter S. Thompson-esque account of when my friend and I tried speed dating at the Students Union (got some pretty good reviews by people who've read it, actually, which is unusual- unusual in that they read it at all!) Speed Dating Uncovered Also in this week's Gair Rhydd, I did a spotlight on the university's trampoline club. It was different, that's for sure! This is also one of my longest student media articles at 1000 words. Gair Rhydd 1067 Sport Spotlight: Trampolining This issue of Quench features a number of things from me, a light dusting of editing on the Video Games section as usual alongside Saman, some embarrassing pictures of me, and a funny little confessional about wanting to be a post office person.
Read it now! This semester I'm doing Dr Andy Williams' Reporting Science module, so I decided I'd put a few more science ish articles into Gair Rhydd if possible. GR 1060 Putting a name to a face.
The new Quench also arrived and features some stuff from me, the Savvy Student Gamer and my Super Mario Maker review. I'm not sure whether to publish all the articles from the mag online, will need to check with the other eds. But I did do a standalone online version of my WGDS article, with added corrections! The latest issue of Quench features a whole section (Video Games) I co-edited. Amongst a few short pieces, I wrote a nice article about the Wales Game Dev Show.
Read the digital version here, or pop down the Students Union in Cardiff for a physical copy. If you're a PR person who has review copies going, I can send you some in the post. Click here to read.
Mainly just a way to make sure I know how to use the Quench Wordpress backend, but I'm hoping to put more reviews up onto the site outside the magazine. I thought I should kick things off here by listing the Issuu links to issues of the Cardiff Student Media publications I contributed to last academic year. It might not be all of them, though.
TV section: Cartoon for "Reality Rivals: TV Standoff." Quench #147 Feature: The world of webcomics. Quench #150 Games section: Mobile gaming marketing. Quench #152 For (And Against): Public health campaigns. GR #1042 Politics section: UKIP: One Man Band? GR #1054 Comment section: Why Wales needs the EU. GR #1056 Comment section: Why a Facebook friend isn't like a real friend. GR #1057 Politics section: Negative political campaigns A good year, but I could have done more! Shouldn't have been so busy socializing. |
