[arg_discuss] Personal Influences/Antecedents

[Michael Monello]

A question for y'all!

Who/what are the people/projects that have exerted a great influence  
over your work, but might not be considered part of the ARG or ARG  
like history to date?

I've been thinking about this a lot after reading a draft white paper  
that Brian Clark is writing. While I think we can all point to things  
and people that are commonly considered to have influenced the genre,  
I'd like to know what or who has particularly inspired YOU. This will  
likely be a very personal response, but I'm interested to see if there  
are any common threads to be found.

I'm working up a post for my site on one of many of my idols/sources  
of inspiration, so I'm going to hold off answering until later tonight  
but I thought I'd get the ball rolling now!

Best,
