Gaming Analysis #9

Question:
Why did the interviewee (B's) discourse feel as if he was not interested at all with the interview with (CH)?

Thoughts: 
I felt as thought (B) did not want to be interviewed by (CH) at all. During the chat session, (CH) had to ask a lot of open ended questions in order for (B) to answer. It almost seems as though (B) was preoccupied by other things during the chat session. While (CH) was doing the interview some of the questions they asked sometime began with a question to assure (CH) was on the right path on the chat. Maybe if (B) was interviewed by a different person on the same subject, they would have been more interested. (B) made it seem like it was a problem and that (CH) was interrupting an important part of (B)'s day. 

Evidence:


Ch        so it's interesting, games aren't really considered software are they?

B          they are - ONE WORD ANSWERS - SHOWS THEY ARENT INTERESTED

Ch        so you're completely comfortable with messing it up and starting over.
B          Oh yeah - IF (B) WERE INTERESTED, HE WOULD HAVE ELABORATED AS TO WHY HE WOULD BE COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE WITH MESSING IT UP AND PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES.

Ch        I wanted to talk a little, you  talk about your self as a hardware expert, you said software novice, although I bullied you into being competent, what software do you know how to use?
B          you know, what everyone else knows how to use, word, frontpage, powerpoint, excell, spreadsheet things - HERE PROVIDING THAT  HE IS POSITIVE OF THE FACT THAT EVERYONE ELSE KNOWS HOW TO USE THE FOLLOWING. COMING OFF AS THOUGH HE DOES NOT WANT TO HELP
