Veteran UK game journalist Jim Rossignol, currently one of the Big Four at the Rock Paper Shotgun blog, has just published a book called ‘This Gaming Life,’ documenting his experiences in three different cities pursuing and documenting the culture of online games.

He covers the widespread competitive game scene in Korea, looks into Quake‘s evolving role in the London game scene, and visits Iceland to see the birthplace of EVE Online, to develop what he says is a story of “how games change the lives of gamers”.

I thought the idea of a “travelogue” of game culture was interesting, so I asked Jim a few questions about the book, and his experiences.
