Ever listen to music while you play?

My Chemical Romance helps me get into the swing of things. Especially playing NANANA! while gouging out a helghast's eyes with my thumbs

i pity you.

Care to elaborate? or do you just plan on being a dick because I like MCR?

Meh, everyone has their opinions I suppose. It's not a song that would appeal to everyone.

Daft Punk and online gaming are a match made in Super-Heaven. That's like Heaven, times ten.

 

[DTWolfwood]

tried, but realized it was too distracting.

EVE online was the only exception.

p.s. will take you your idea of playing Lion King music while playing Far Cry 2. lol

 

[Tucker154]

I always do.When I play MMOs,it makes me more lax,cause that seems to be the only genre I beat myself up if i screw up.And when I play shooters I actualy play better.Realy the only games I play without music is RTSs

I play Linken Park and Disturbed the most,cause theyre awesome

 

[Eleuthera]

I always play games with my own music in the background. The first thing I do when I get a new game is turn off the ingame music... I honestly have no idea what the game music of the games I play sounds like.

 

[ScourgeOfHell]

I do, it helps add atmosphere

 

[Creator002]

I used to listen to music while playing online games. I stopped when I realised the iPhone doesn't work through the Xbox and I gave my sister my iPod.

I still use iTunes and Windows Media Player on PC when playing a browser game, if I can.

 

[Kaymish]

i tend to listen to the game music unless it doesn't have any or its crapola and then i have a massive range of music to chose from so some times i will end up playing some mechwarrior and Camille Martin

 

[DJDarque]

Actually, no. Strange considering I listen to music while doing literally everything else.

 

[babinro]

Depends on the game. If I'm playing the game several times for the mechanics rather than story, sure. I wouldn't listen to music through Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age because the story changes a lot based on decisions.

Games like Diablo 2, Civ 5, Starcraft 2 I listen to music.

Runescape and disturbed pretty much go hand in hand in my head

and disturbed are AWSOME!!!!!!!!

 

[Vault101]

Of coarse I know most games Id rather not where atmosphere is important but somtimes it can work

Fallout 3 new vegas- while playing it was fun to listen to classic western movie music (like stuff from ennio morricone) playing "extacy of gold" while taking on a group of enclave solders was particually epic

Far cry 2- playing "circle of life" you know from the lion king, is both hilarious and epic

Darksiders- Indestructible by disturbed fits quite well

Wow, Ennio Morricone is perfect for that game. I need to try that now...

Anyway, I don't normally. If I could attach moods to certain songs, then the game could play them at the right moments. In a gunfight? Pantera time! Driving around? BRMC or Kyuss time!

Johnny Cash also fits well ESPECIALLY his song "Gods gonna cut you down" pure awsomeness

 

[Lucifron]

Almost always when I play online, helps me get in the zone.

This. I estimate that my FPS and MMO PvP performances are improved tenfold by my angry playlist.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

I used to do it before, back when I played CoD4:MW and CoD:WaW multiplayer. CoD4 fit perfectly with a lot of Machinae Supremacy, and WaW fit nicely with Korn and Disturbed.

Rarely do it anymore though, mostly because I can't be arsed putting together a playlist for games as the games themselves usually have fitting music nowadays, and games should have it's own music darn it! D: (I'm looking at you Racedriver: GRID for only having music while I drive the last three minutes of Le Mans "24-hour" to build up tension >_>)

 

[Andrew_Mac]

Crash team racing. Anyone remember that? PS1 game, crash bandicoot and his bunch of chums all driving around in go-karts? Anyhoo, when ever I played that game with my brother, we'd ALWAYS put on a bit of Rammstein to listen to. Now i can play any Rammstein with out thinking about CTR, and vice versa. Play both together and it's nostalgia city!


Also, does anyone know how long I should leave a Greggs corned beef pasty in the microwave for?

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Usually i am happy with the games own soundtrack, the Original music of a game is part of the package of experience the developers want to give us, so i try not to alter it.
( if you dont agree with me , start up a survival horror game, favourable one without or with only few weapons,like Amnesia, now flee from the monsters while listening to the benny hill theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg )
I only mute it and listen to my own if i dont care about immersive athmosphere and story. For example in dull hackn slay games (I cant imagine playing Diablo without Blind Guardian) or if it is a game i can enjoy but it has a horrible horrible soundtrack ( i got a nice library of fantasy athmo- and soundtrack music).
But @ Vault101 your Fallout as well as Far Cry choices are definatly great

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

My Ipod is put on Shuffle, the game is turned down a bit, hilarity and awesomeness sometimes ensues. I love it.
