Favourite song to listen to whilst playing an MMO; or any other game.

[Akurenji]

As many of you will know, the arduous grinding caused me MMO's can sometimes lead to a pretentious repetition; most likely calling for music to ease the boredom.

So I wonder, what's everyones favourite choice of song, or genre, to listen to while playing such games; or any game in general for that matter.

I'm expecting Power Metal with World of Warcraft quite a lot here

I don't have a favourite, just put iTunes on Shuffle and play.

Sorry to be boring.

benny hill whilst playing cod4 back in the day lol

appart from tht, yeah i just stick wmp on shuffle

 

[Akurenji]

Haha, I always enjoyed Cradle of Filth to Gears of War. I always got the impression of a metal-like theme with that game

 

[ShoryukenDude]

Usually, in FPS/TPS/Sandbox games, i've got a playlist full of metal. Anything from Slayer to Iron Maiden to Metallica shows up.

Any other games, I usually stick with he backround music.

 

[Erana]

"Its raining men" is always a fun song.

 

[j1nx]

Requiem for a dream!
makes building cakes EPIC BEYOND PROPORTIONS

(i do not have a cake building game)

 

[G1eet]

Bloodmeat or Bury the Hatchet whilst playing Halo/ Left 4 Dead.

Back when Baldur's Gate 2 came out I was still in highschool. I had practically simultanously gotten my hands on a copy of BG2, as well as a Greates Hits CD of The Doors. These two were played simultaneously for the next few weeks. To this day I can't hear Riders on the Storm without being taken back to the Docks district of Athkatla on a rainy night, running from vampires...

Right now I have Hellkrusher's "Intro" song on repeat, it feels like a song that can last forever even though it's about two-minutes long.
Crust Punk is awesome. I just realized that.

When I play MMO I usually put on some music from the 1920's, for some reason it works out.

 

[Jinxzy]

WoW - my whole itune list.
L4D - Queen ( dunno just sorta works out, <3 You're My Best Friend -Queen when shooting the zombies)
Other games just scroll threw the itunes to find what fits.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

I like to listen to Motion Suggests by Pavement while playing Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders.

 

[Noone From Nowhere]

I tend to listen to the game's soundtrack when playing except for the times when it is funnier to play a tune which clashes with the on-screen action such as using love songs on the i-pod like audio player in Saint's Row (playing 'There Goes My Baby' with a swarm of 'homies' around the player character as he circles a prostitute is a form of comedy not even the people at Volition could have envisioned) or the soundtracks from Kingdom Hearts or Neon Genesis Evangelion being played in True Crime or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (X-Box versions).
If the in-game tracks begin to grind on my nerves when I've been level-grinding, that's a good sign that I've been playing for too long.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

Misfits, dig up her bones. Whenever play it, i instantly start playing better.
Most of the time i listen to disturbed, slipknot, glamour of the kill and rise against. They fit in well with most of the games i play and are pure liquid mega awesome

 

[WinkyTheGreat]

I don't have a favourite, just put iTunes on Shuffle and play.

Sorry to be boring.

Pretty much this. However, when I'm waiting for Faction Battle in Guild Wars, I tend to play "The Waiting" by Tom Petty since it tends to take several minutes sometimes.

 

[Fingerprint]

Nothing special, I just put my library onto shuffle and listen to whatever plays.

 

[Sev72]

Err... Whatever happens to come up on Pandora next I suppose, I don't have one song I listen to over and over again while playing a game, and no favorite in particular.

 

[Clashero]

Emma Shapplin's album Carmine Meo. Nothing like a soprano coloratura announcing your headshots with every high note.
