Ideas
I think I get a good idea every now and then. I also think I get a bad one every now and again, but we all do. These ones I think are good however, are ones I try to expand upon, flesh out and ultimately form into a somewhat cohesive stew in mind. These are always within arms' reach too, since they're easy to callback to, and can get some additional work to make them even better. For me, most of these ideas are in the form of video games, my hobby of choice.
I play quite a few video games, although I have significantly cut back over the last year or so. To me, game design is somewhat I have no expertise in, although I know what would be a fun idea from either a story or visual perspective. For example, having a bright and colorful atmosphere is something even the most hardest of hardcore gamer can enjoy because it is an alternative to their gaming routine. In addition, a mature person can enjoy something childishly bright because they understand what is trying to be done. From a story standpoint, if you have one, it's ultimately just as important as the gameplay nowadays.
If something makes the player turn off a game, it can be due to a lack of effort or sloppiness in the dialog or voice acting department, or moments that are of questionable morals, particularly in a large audience. The people behind the game have ultimately failed in creating an enjoyable experience, something entertainment, particularly games are supposed to be about, if this happens. To me, this is something largely overlooked by a large portion of developers, and while they try to work in a story to games, they seem to often forget that there is a clear distinction between right and wrong that almost everyone shares. So yes, I have some ideas about video game stories, and I know how to convey them. It's just a matter of whether or not I can share these ideas with the world, because I would sure like to.
