CNN —   Welcome to Influenced, where we interview creators of all kinds about the gear they use to do their job — and their advice for those looking to follow in their footsteps. This week, we chatted with YouTube movie critic Sean Chandler about how he’s upgraded his home studio over the years, and why you probably already have better equipment than you think. Chandler shot his first video — a review of the highly polarizing 2016 Ghostbusters movie — on a whim, using his old MacBook’s built-in webcam and a Blue Spark microphone he had borrowed from a friend and plugged into a USB interface. “The audio was nice and crisp, and then just terrible picture from an old webcam built into a computer,” says Chandler. “And didn’t have any lights in front of me, anything fancy, anything that would make it look good. So I just started with what I had.” As his hobby grew into a legitimate source of revenue (and eventually, a full-time career as a movie critic), Chandler gradually made upgrades that have allowed him to produce high-quality videos that are decidedly sharper-looking than those early MacBook clips. Here’s what Chandler’s setup looks like…

The tale of how hacker group Nerds Inc. took over 2b2t—Minecraft’s oldest so-called anarchy server—is convoluted and painstaking. It’s the story of how 300,000 players were constantly tracked, 15,000 bases discovered, and over 200 million items stolen. And it was all achieved exploiting not the software intended to keep the server functioning properly, but by conditioning the people who maintain that software.2b2t is infamous. Short for “2 builders 2 tools”, it is to Minecraft what 8chan is to forums: a den of unregulated freedom, with all the extraordinary creativity and the ugliest elements that invariably contains. Players who use the server will encounter racism, porn, gore, and most recently, some of the most intricate griefing ever seen. Perhaps the best coverage of this came from RPS’s Brendy Caldwall, in early 2016 before it had reached wider public attention—there he captured its deeply unwelcoming ways, how it spawns players in a barren location of utter horror, where survival is close to impossible.Unmoderated, and all under the barely-watching eye of server admin ‘Hausmaster’, you’re as likely to stumble upon a mountain-high swastika or skyscraper-like cock as you are a town-sized towering statue of Jesus. With a chat that was primarily used to…

While everyone has dreams and passions, few people actually put in the work to make their dreams a reality. According to Instagram star Jen Blanco, there is a fine line between dreamers who never really achieve anything, and those who have found the courage to follow their dreams, and have found success as a result. Jen has only been active on her Instagram account for four months, but she has already accumulated more than 400,000 followers. She admits that TikTok has been the source of the majority of her growth, owing to the fact that many of her videos have gone viral. However, Jen also points out that it was her perseverance and refusal to give up on her dreams that allowed her to make the leap of faith and quit her minimum wage job to pursue Instagram modeling. Had she not found that courage, Jen may never have found her success: gaining a six-figure income through Instagram modeling. Modeling is an industry that is often defined by thrill, glamor, and fame, and it is a common dream of young girls all over the world. Jen herself admits that becoming a model has been her dream ever since she was…

Media top headlines July 29 In media news today, the CDC gets hit by liberal media outlets for 'confusing message' on wearing masks, WaPo's Max Boot gets ripped for tweeting Saudi Arabia is 'more progressive' than the U.S. for vaccine mandate, and NBC's Tokyo Olympics coverage spurs 'advertiser anxiety' as viewers continue to dropWhen White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced from the podium earlier this month that the administration had begun "flagging" social media posts about COVID they deemed as misinformation to Facebook, backlash from both conservatives and liberals was swift and harsh. Conservatives claimed the White House and Facebook were colluding to censor free speech, arguing that the social media giants should have no role in determining who can share their thoughts, and who can’t. "This is state-sponsored censorship," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told Fox News. "It’s the single biggest threat to the First Amendment we’ve ever faced. What’s more, most of the corrupt corporate media is either going along with or encouraging it."DAN BONGINO WARNS OF ‘DEADLY SERIOUS’ CONSEQUENCES NOW THAT BIDEN ‘DEPUTIZED’ BIG TECH TO SUPPRESS FREE SPEECHSen.  » Read More

Simone Biles has had enough with her critics. After the champion gymnast’s stunning withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics, Biles has been hounded on social media and on a number of TV and radio shows over her decision. Biles shared video of herself in practice in Tokyo on Instagram Thursday night. “For anyone saying I quit,” Biles captioned the first video of an Instagram Story which showed her landing on her back after dismounting from the uneven bars. “I didn’t quit, my mind & body are simply not in sync as you can see here. I don’t think you realize how dangerous this is on hard/competition surface nor do I have to explain why I put health first.” The two-time Olympian added, “Physical health is mental health.” Simone Biles has had enough with the criticism. (Ashley Landis/AP) In her second clip, which shows her landing awkwardly before falling over onto a mat, Biles wrote, “No this was not happening before I left the USA,” and “It randomly started happening after prelims competition the VERY next morning.” “By that time NO an alternate was not allowed to be placed in my position for you ‘know it alls,’” she added. “We have 4…
