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.
