My inspiration into being a game designer is games (obviously), anime and action movies (superhero stuff included). Video games inspire me because my goal is to work for a big game making company like RockStar Games, Wildcard, Unreal Engine and others.  Anime inspires me to be a game designer because I would like to, make an anime character that I have had in my head for a long time. And my answer to movies is basically the same as my answer for anime.
