I like the videos that are coming up and all, but how about we get a question of the week regarding our thoughts on games, or releases, or something like that? I think that would be more suitable for the majority of the people here, and you would get a lot more input/videos to choose from. 
 
I understand that the idea is to be unique in the questioning, but how about it be unique and related to gaming?

Because we have an entire website dedicated to that, already.  Blogs, forums, reviews... there are numerous venues here where people can already express their video game opinions and preferences.  I'm thinking these videos are intended to be more community focused that just video games.
 
And have you seen the early QotW's?  We've already confirmed that those sort of questions only leave us with boring results.

A quality week, I reckon.  Nice to see some new faces entering as well - freshened things up a bit.

Amazing QOTW this week usually I don't care about these but I really enjoyed it this time.  I think that is partially because it was such a good question.  I'd like to see more stuff along these lines.

The nearest thing we had in the UK is: "Action man." The slogan for the toy was: "Action man the greatest hero of them ALL!!"

Yup, I saw the early QOTW's, and I agree they weren't that exciting. At the same time though, these questions are only appealing to those who are capable of editing video or coming up with something with a respectable production value.  
 
It would be great to find a nice in between where you can get the videos that have the considerably good production value, but also where people can submit some quick videos that simply provide their opinion. 
 
I'm not arguing against the QOTW, I do enjoy it, and I do feel that they've hit the mark on a couple of questions in the past. However, it seems to be headed more and more in a direction where very few people will feel able, or willing, to participate.

Ehm... I'm not ENTIRELY sure about if this was the case in UK, though I strongly believe it, but in my country (Denmark) G.I. Joe-action figures was called Action Force. I guess the term "G.I. Joe" wasn't marketable for european audiences. 
 
... Of cause you might actually be referring to "Action Man" as you indeed said... in which case you were a child in the 90'es... and not of the 80'es like me (and obviously the Giant Bomb crew)

Normally I would agree with you on a week that didn't have such an awesome non-game topic. Who wants a body massage?

This really is one of the better QOTW videos and it has a lot of funny lines in it. But The_Bee really seems to share my personal brand of humor - all those videos are just short, sweet and hilarious. Good job!
