Music while you game?

Haha I can't do that mike with weapon sounds... not when you are a Privateer  :wink:

Vent / TS is the only thing on since we have about 200+ targets running around...

Yeah, I can relate to the problem of idiots on these servers, though some of them quit so its actually quite tranquil.

Dear god, people still mine? :?

Depends. Some games I just have ingame music and sounds, but for others I listen to my own music. I'm somewhat picky about it, because listening to non-gaming music through headphones while gaming always makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. As if it is invading my gaming experience.

I think rather specifically I would listen to my iPod whilst playing Shin Megami Tensei: Nocture for everything except the battles. But that's because the battle music for that rocked.

Also, generally with handhelds I won't listen to the ingame sounds and music, except if the soundtrack is rather good. Case in point - Sonic Rush

I generally listen to music when I play video games because in-game music and sound effects are often annoying and irrelevant.

But there's not anything specific and my choice doesn't sync up with the game to create a proper mood or atmosphere.

Emaline:
If it's a game that's somewhat repetitive, and doesn't require a super whole lot of thought(something like Tetris, for instance) I like to play some music, usually whatever I've been listening to lately, or something that is ultra relaxing like Explosions In The Sky, or something. But if it's a game like Zelda, or something, I cannpt have music playing at all. I lose my focus too much.

I lump in with the group of folks who prefer to not have extraneous music playing when playing most games. I tend to stick to genres where the music is a big part of the experience and outside music tends to detract from it. Listening to Megadeth or Alice in Chains while playing Resident Evil 4 kind of pulls you out of the experience.

Games like Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy have such epic and iconic soundtracks that it's an injustic to listen to something different.

Multiplayer games and online games can warrant outside music for me, though. If I'm playing multiplayer with a friend, usually we're bantering back and forth and ignoring the game sounds anyway.

It all depends on the genre and the intended atmosphere of the game and how many times I've played through it.
