A List of the Allusions

## **The Creative Machine**

A page to list the allusions (references) to movies, people, games, literature, music, etc. used at all in the world of VOAU.  Everything that's been referenced, used as inspiration, and in between. In case you're curious, you might think, "how is something that references so much considered original"? The originality in it is how you use it, and although some things may be referenced in very bold and direct mannerisms it is never presented as such in any way more than just my inner most thoughts.  (This list is not chronological to use exactly, in fact it's rather random and unorganized). Boldness indicates importance if it weren't obvious, and bold italics is an even bigger story.
