What music do you listen to while playing video games?

[big_dman27]

When i was interning at universal i got introduced to a band called Critical Bill, Has anyone every heard of them? Every time i play Halflife2 I'm always bumping Critical Bill. You guys should check them out. I think they have a myspace at myspace/criticalbillmusic. They sound just like Linkin Park.
Check them out and let me know!:afro:



Big D!

 

[Cheomesh]

The sound of sweet success

Actually I just listen to whatever the game is playing.

 

[soulslicer]

wrong section? and how can you listen to music while playing vid games...

 

[Dynasty]

FPSs - NIN, has to be. Or Prodigy. Anything that makes you feel like god while smoking fools.

For everything else, there's mastercard..uhh i mean, NIN again. Their new album is awesome while playing any type of game.

I tend to play everything when playing WoW though, weirdly.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Depends. In HL2 the ingame music is perfect and so I don't listen over that. In Team fortress classic I listen to fast paced electronic music. In bioshock or some other fps I might listen to rock/metal. RTS's have their own music.

 

[Kester^]

I don't listen to music when playing FPS. It detracts to much, and stops you hearing far to much of the game. Footsteps are impossible to hear when you have music playing.

 

[Ennui]

I don't usually listen to music while gaming unless it's Peggle

 

[lePobz]

Depends on the game, usually nothing... but sometimes a bit of prodigy, oasis or classical music.

 

[Stigmata]

I haven't listened to music while gaming for years. So... nothing

 

[staticprimer]

Usually I don't, but for slower paced games where music/sound doesn't really matter like Uplink, Civilization, or Medieval 2 Total War, I will. Especially Muse while playing Uplink.

 

[Cormeh]

Absolutely anything in my music folder. 360 to PC connection ftw.

 

[Unfocused]

Usually nothing, how am I supposed to hear stuff like footsteps in the game with additional music on? Sometimes I'll play some CS:S with music only to turn it off a few minutes later when I die partly because I didn't hear someone coming.

best game ever

 

[Absinthe]

I generally listen to the in-game music if they have it. If it's really annoying, I'll usually have no music playing.

The only time I listen to custom playlists is when I play WoW, and there's nothing specific, really. My MP3 playlists, other game soundtracks, whatever.

 

[Shakermaker]

I basically only play music when playing Trackmania. iTunes on random. Although I do race better with fast music.

 

[VictimOfScience]

The game soundtrack.

 

[The Monkey]

I don't.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

hardcore rock, only in Need for Speed though, everything else I need my concentration.

 

[ríomhaire]

I listen to the game's music. I only rarly play other music while playing, though I do have vague memories of playing the original GTA while listening to Robbie Williams.

 

[Vegeta897]

Only times I've done this is playing CSS, and Venetian Snares seems to work best because it pumps me up.

 

[oldagerocker]

Radio 2, Radio 5 live or TalkSport

 

[taviow]

I always listen to the game soundtrack. I would NEVER listen to music while playing Bioshock because it would ruin the immersion.

 

[Dog--]

Games that are just pick-up and play like racing/fighting games (some FPSs, too) I'll play some music, but everything else, it just ruins the immersion, like how would it be hearing some Anthrax while playing a game like Half-Life 2?

Racing/Fighting/Some FPSs get the Metallica/SOAD/Iron Maiden, though (I don't listen to music while I play, but when I do it's good music!)

 

[Letters]

I don't always have music on, but when I do it's uaully just bring up iTunes, put shuffle on, and hit play.

Sounded a little promising up until I read that part.

Anyways, I usually listen to music when I play games like TFC, DoD, and Painkiller(but it already has a heart pumping soundtrack).

Other than that, everything else requires my full attention to be played properly.

Oh, the music I usually listen to is metal of course... Fear Factory, Pantera, Metallica, Falkenbach, etc.

 

[Paulaner]

New Age, ambient, soundscapes. In FPS too.

 

[StardogChampion]

I never listen to music while playing games. I sometimes turn off the music too and just leave the sound effects on.

 

[Gorgon]

I don't do it on 99.0% of all games i played.

Sometimes I do it on CSS....

 

[Operational]

Rarely listen to music while playing games, unless you count Freecell

 

[ComradeBadger]

I listen to the glitchest electro I can get my filthy paws on
