Music while you game?
TheFuriousWombat:
i'm with the people who don't like non game music while they play. i like my gameplaying to be as immersive as possible and if i'm, say, shooting combine aliens and suddenly belle and sebastian comes on it's not going to be an immersive experience. often, especially with newer titles, ingame sound and music is an important part of the game. i just find outside music distracting.
Orbert:
I can totally understand the "no non-game music" rule for some people, as I went with it for quite a while. But I don't play that many different games (I'm actually not much of a gamer), but the few I do play, I play a lot. It has reached the point where I've heard the same music so many times, in the same situations, that the music itself gets boring and distracting. I don't want to hear the same music every time I play the game, not anymore; I'd rather hear other stuff. Stuff I don't get to listen to all the time, but hey, I can have it playing while I game. I can still hear the talking and explosions and stuff, but with different music. Win-win situation for me.
Shming:
Hmm I usually don't. For me games are all about atmosphere. I mainly play Resident Evil and Zelda.. and playing music or muting RE leads to dying most of the time.

Maybe if you're listening to music as you play, and are trying to feel like you "are" your character, you can consider that you are listening to headphones during battle, a la Jessica Biel in Blade Trinity :D
Just one way to think of it o.o

Depends on what game I am playing. EVE, I turn off the in-game sounds, and just listen to music. But FPS games? I turn off ALL music. I need to hear the footsteps and gunshots.
I am hardcore about my gaming.
