Do you listen to music while you game?

virusal19

Lately, when I play BF3/4 and CS:GO, I just put foobar in random mode and listen to whatever there is, so a lot of progressive metal like Between The Buried and Me, or some Devin Townsend, Dream Theater, etc. Sometimes there's Deadmau5 also, IDK, I have 2000+ songs on my computer...

I also watch 10 hours versions of nyan cat!

Grammar nazis are people too!
Treat your local grammar nazi nicely and he might teach you a thing or two. (Note that I'm Belgian and not a native English speaker.)

Lots of Metallica, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Linkin Park, and then when I play BF4, Total Eclipse of the Heart (at least once). Those of you who have started the campaign know why.

Lately, all I've been playing are racing simulators and you need full concentration to go fast, so I never play any music while I'm racing.

Hey, thread, get your ass over to off topic.

 

PS. I don't listen to music when I game.

Nothing to see here - move along.

I can't edit my other post (god I hate Midori) but I really like to listen to my Halo soundtracks while I play GTA. It gets me in the zone.

I don't listen to music in games, as I think it kinda draws me out of the experience, but I do use the Independence FM Radio station that let's you put your own music on a radio station in GTA IV, and I have some Tyler, The Creator and Zweihänder loaded on to that.

Depends on the game.

 

If I'm playing Blacklight: Retribution, then some techno music. If Planetside 2, some orchestral stuff. If Starcraft 2, I have a custom playlist.

 

It just depends.

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

Linkin Park

Yay for them.

 

And usually I don't listen to music while gaming since it gets distracting.

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

FPS: Anything Metal really, depending on how much I suck the harder and more brutal the music gets.

 

Driving: Usually Electro or House

Depends on the game. Skyrim - Ellie Goulding. EuroTruckSimulator2 - TechNews. Other games it kinda varies.

I sometimes do but when it is an intense game (Battlefield 3, Bioshock etc.) it has it has to be very quiet for me to listen and concentrate on the game at the same time. When it is a relaxing game like Terraria or Garry's Mod then I will listen to it most of the time. I like chilled out music to listen to when gaming, nothing to intense.
