Originally made in 1954, Seven Samurai has had a profound impact on Cinema. With its complex, and great narrative, rich and deep characters, and drama with more adrenaline-filled action.  But from this, newer films have been birthed following in the lineage of Seven Samurai. Like Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars, Avengers, Ocean's Eleven, and more, through things like using rain to set a dark, murky, uncomfortable, dirty setting. It has also influenced directors like George Lucas(who based his Star Wars on The Hidden Fortress, another Kurosawa Film) and Quentin Tarantino. Through setting familiar tropes and visual innovations, Seven Samurai has truly set its legacy far above other films in Cinematic History.

Movies like Soylent Green, Brazil, and Blade Runner. This book is a cyberpunk, dystopian romp through America and a critical examination of what we needed most. Snow Crash is exciting and creative.

I made a game. Sorta. Game Development: ForkmanRPG Devlog 1

By
  Devlog #1: Placeholder Name: ForkmanRPG.  I made a game. A prototype of a game. In Unity. For the past three months. A game that looks really unpolished and unfinished, but seems fun for now. A game I have been meaning to allow myself to meander and explore a world unseen and untouched. (Sort of a weird way to put it, but I want to let myself build something exciting and fun). First off, Game Development is complex. It is very, very hard. The fast-paced videos on youtube, nicely cut, with greenscreens and thicc edits, distract from the grueling process of game development. For me, each glitch (I'm an amateur at game development although I've been doing this for years) has been a horrible, grueling mistake, and takes about a day to fix.  The game I've been developing is a combination of old, decaying Roblox tycoon games and was especially inspired by FPS games like Cruelty Squad, and RPGs like Disco Elysium, Fallout, and Planescape Torment. One special mention is the book
