I have an idea for a game, what should I do with it?

If you have an idea for a game, keep it to yourself. We get people writing into the studio and saying they've got a great idea for a game. The expectation is that we will haul them in and talk to them about the game and give them a job, and that's not the best way to go about getting your game made, if you really want to have your game made. First thing first is, if you really want that game made, try to get a job in the games industry and then present it formally, internally. If you don't want to do that and it's an idea that might be achieved with a couple of mates, hook up with a couple of mates and see if you can make it together. There are lots of places that are now springing up online to give you the tools to make games, and people are making quite adventurous, creative games with very little background in the industry. You should maybe save the game idea, get that prototype up and running, perhaps, and then present it. It's a far more compelling thing to be showing someone than to be saying, "I have a great idea I'd like to come and talk to you about."
