Seeing as everything insurance companies do (the premiums they charge, the payouts on claims, etc.) is predicated on having reliable statistics, 5,945 subjects makes sense.

People are a little less focused on work these days... I know my former employees were more focused on the outside-the-office life than anything else. The one thing I hadn't insured in the office was the clock: with so many pairs of eyes glued on it, no way someone was gonna steal it... I think “work” would appear in the list of dislikes.

I don’t think starcraft is all that popular with younger kids (elementary/middle school students) these days.

Fifa online, crazy arcade, kartrider, guns (gunz?), etc, are the ones I hear about often. The diversity of games (especially if you add cellphone games) would likely make the generic term 'computer games' necessary. Actually, seeing as computers allow you to play games and chat with friends, they'd probably be pretty close to the top of the list, but I'm not sure if they would come before cellphones.
