The names Conor, and in this blog I want to tell you a little about myself. I'm 20 years old and have lived in Dublin my entire life. I am currently a second-year student studying "Creative Digital Media" in Blanchardstown. I really enjoy my course and plan on getting a job in this industry when I get my degree. I'd describe myself as a determined and hardworking person who loves a good laugh.
After working hard in year one it's safe to say I learned a lot. The best class I took last year was photography. I loved that this module required us to go outside to take photos because it offered a nice break from working inside all day. Although I liked most of my modules last year, I found modules that involved film or photography to be the most enjoyable. My goal for this year is to continue working hard and improve on my work.
Speaking of working hard, we all need a break every now and again. Over the break, I took the opportunity to travel to several countries, including Lithuania, Poland, Germany, and the UK. I really enjoyed myself and got to take lots of photos. I also made a couple of travel videos to remember all the places I visited. I thought this was a good idea, as it will be something I can look back on in the future for memories.
I love photography and film but I am also interested in games. I am an avid PC gamer and love playing games from a variety of different genres. I also like the PS4, as that platform is home to my favourite games of all time, the "Uncharted Series". I started playing PC games four years ago after I built my own "gaming" PC. I prefer playing on PC now because games look better and play at a smoother framerate. Some of my favourite games I've played on PC are "CounterStrike Global Offensive" and "PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds". I like these games as they are competitive and require a lot of skill.
I also have a true love for football. I have played since I was seven years old and haven't stopped since. I support "Liverpool FC" but also enjoy watching "Celtic FC" and "Real Madrid". I currently play football in college and for Phoenix AFC.
If I'm not studying, playing football, or on the computer, I can assure you I'm probably with my girlfriend or eating food because pizza is one of the worlds greatest creations...ever.

A Picture Of Me (Cool Dude)
Thats a couple things in common - pizza is the perfect meal, all four food groups in one dish!
ReplyDeleteAnd Celtic need I say more -even let the scousers borrow our songs!
Now there's a man that knows his food and football! :D
DeleteHi Conor,
ReplyDeleteFew common interests: footie, pizza and video games. Glad to see you're enjoying the course and that you implied some stuff you learned into real life. Now I'm just gonna enter some words because I really, really, really need to reach the sixty word count, he didn't say we can't do that. But over all keep it up, can't wait for more content.
Hey Conor,
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of yourself but it's a bit over-exposed :/
I love pizza too! We should hang out sometime, get a bite to eat.. go back to yours and play fifa. Sounds like a cute friend-date amirite?

DeleteHi Conor, I enjoy Photography as well. Editing last year was one of my favourite thing I learned from last year. Looks like you had fun over the break, which I went to them places but only been to France, Spain, Italy and England. Would love to go on another holidays. Anyways, good luck this year!
ReplyDeleteHey Conor
ReplyDeleteLove the blog and great to learn more about you. Good to see we have the same interests such as film and games. Very impressive that you built your own PC and you probably get the best experience of gaming on the PC as I always hear its the best game console. Good choice with Uncharted as your favourite game and out all of the uncharted games, 4 is probably my favourite. Delighted you support Liverpool as well.
How are ye Conor? Thanks for commenting on my blog I should have seen it sooner. A lot of common interests Gaming, Film, Photography, all a great time! I love Uncharted myself grew up playing 1 & 2 on the PS3 and played 3 & 4 once I got my PS4 Pro, Glad Nate's story ended on such a high note Uncharted 4 is easily one of the best games I've played. Incredible series all around. Sic Parvis Magna bud. Do ye like The Last of Us? Can't wait for part II myself.
ReplyDeleteHey Conor,
ReplyDeleteI like the theme of your blog its really clean and nice to read. I loved photography as well last year it was so fun and nice to be able to go outside instead of being stuck inside all day I wish we had photography this year as well would've been nice. Sounds like you had a really nice summer going to seven countries thats amazing I went to two, Spain and the UK it was great to be away for a while. Your blog looks great and is really coming along nice job !!!
Hey Conor,
ReplyDeleteI can tell that we already have a lot in common. You can not beat a big fat pizza for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I also really enjoy photography and regularly do photo shoots with my friends. I am also prone to the odd game of Fifa, although I do not think `ll be investing in Fifa 19 as college is keeping me far too busy.
Hope you do well this year, good luck with all of your assignments.
Hey Conor,
ReplyDeleteReally like the theme of your blog, it looks good and it's easy to navigate. Your not wrong about pizza, I work in an Italian takeaway and I'm nearly always the first person to run out the back with it, which is like every shift I do. That's great that you liked photography and filming so much and you could use them when you went travelling, your summer sounds like it was amazing! Great post, good luck with the rest of the year
Hey conor, as pretty much everyone else has said in this comment feed, I also love photography. Last year photography was my favourite too and it was good craic. I see that you like to travel which i can relate to as so do I. Id love to get into pc gaming to play fortnight especially but I have no idea where I would even start or what pc to get lol. Nice reading your intro man!
ReplyDeleteHey Conor. Really nice to get to know you more! It seems you have a real love for gaming which really comes through in your game development process! I love to travel too. It's become one of my favourite things to do and I hope to do more! I'd love to see Poland, I've heard its really pretty over there.
ReplyDeleteHi Conor, just read your post. Its pretty well detailed and you do get to know more about you. Cool you are into phtography and games, you do love to travel, wish i could if i wasnt so lazy. I can see you love for games aiding you in this module.
