    The Donator Interview Questions Suck

    Specifically, none of them truly lend themselves to any elaboration. In fact, most of them beg to be answered in a sentence or less. To be frank, in a certain sense their simplicity is kind of insulting. In attempting to answer them I feel like I have no wiggle room to be funny, witty, or even mildly interesting.

    Where are the questions about why you play video games, what appeals to you about them, or whether you think you're addicted? What about questions concerning the direction video games are headed? What effect do you think violent video games have on children? Thoughts on next-gen thusfar? Your opinion of EA Sports? Your favorite game of all time? Which console do you think will eventually 'win' and why? Sports game of the year so far? Do you consider video games to be art? Who are some of your favorite posters at OS? Some questions on books and/or movies? Career path/life?

    I'm just shooting from the hip with those, but any of them, along with an unlimited number of similar ones (be them serious or silly) would offer much more in terms of their being open-ended and thought-provoking, both for the author and the readers, than does the current crop of questions. Of course people could answer just about any question with just a few words, but for those inclined to put forth some real effort in answering them, some broader, more open-ended questions are, I believe, in order.

    Just my two cents.

    I do agree and I would like to be interviewed. I don't believe I ever had that chance when I donated this past summer.

    Steve, you can test the new questions on me if you approve of this thread.

    Defeated, you could have used better terminology to address the issue though. Perhaps, "The Donator Interview Questions are Lacking Substance."

    Wording is EVERYTHING

      Steve technically doesn't interview them.

      You just copy the questions, put down your answers, and PM them to him.

        Acid is right, but I tend to agree w/ Undefeated. I'm willing to listen to any and all ideas.

            Same here. Only I declined the interview. Which is the reason for the burn scar on my leg. That iron came out of nowhere...

              Hey! When I donated I had to interview Steve. After getting past the dozen armed guards at his villa's first checkpoint, the pack of rabid pittbulls, the moat to enter his porperty and finally taking a monarail train to get to his front door, he mad me wait for several hours while him, Paul Allen, Prince Alwaleed and Bono played a game of handball on his helicopter pad. Then the interview process consisted of him mubbling one word answers while focusing on ironing out his parachute for his skydiving date he had with Jenna Jameson. After finishing, he reluctantly answered my questions while in a conference call with a few EA execs. Something about stocks numbers, payola, beta copies, etc. Then after all this time, after seemingly ignoring me throughout the interview, he walks me to the door, says he's not interested in becoming a Jehovahs Witness, pats me on the back and summons a Star Wars landspeeder equipped with alien driver to take me back to his front gates. While he hops onto the ladder from his chopper and flys off into the sunset.......
