Outkast-B.O.B.
Muse-Butterflies and Hurricanes
The rapture-Echoes MISFITS LOL

sonic team-live and learn
Blur-Song 2
eminem-Won't back down

Umm. Anything by Sabaton like 90% of there songs are about "epic battles" so it's an easy fit.

Well, I only listen to music while I'm playing games I don't have to actively listen to - Diablo, World of Warcraft, Sins of a Solar Empire, GalCiv II, etc.

I don't usually use anything specific, either, just whatever I feel in the mood for at that particular moment, but there are a few go-to songs that would pump me up.

Spoiler: Hacking to the Gate

Spoiler: For All I Am - Oppressor

Spoiler: Between the Buried and Me - Viridian + White Walls

Usually for long WoW raid encounters.

Spoiler: Dir En Grey - Vinushka

Seconded. Games need more power metal.

Captcha: Vanilla Ice Cream. Guess the site disagrees with me.

Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish.
Chokkaku from Bleach.
Invincible by Two Steps from Hell, as well as...

Spoiler: Looks sort of like the intro to an epic new Zelda?

I generally fill my playlist with Two Steps From Hell, E.S. Posthumus or lately Sagisu Shiro. Big fan of orchestra and opera themes.

Here's an example of each in respective order:

Two Steps From Hell:


E.S. Posthumus:


Sagisu Shiro:

I remember once when playing Borderlands, I was having my ass handed to me repeatedly in one of those Arena-style missions on the General Knoxx expansion. Then, one day I was playing "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood [http://youtu.be/-hwiCkU73NA]" by Santa Esmeralda and I dunno, I became the goddamn Saint of Killers for the entirety of the song. Like, running into crowds of six guys with a sniper rifle and coming out alive, Bloodwing destroying everything in its path. It was glorious.

Other than than that, I do have a handful of other songs that always get me fired up for a epic showdown:

"Immortal [http://youtu.be/HiimIwGVAQQ]" - Clutch
"Silver [http://youtu.be/rT7PWV9f9kk]" - Five Horse Johnson
"Still I'm Sad [http://youtu.be/KI-QK-0jq2g]" - Rainbow (aka - The "Just Enough Cowbell" Song)
"Somewhere Far Beyond [http://youtu.be/jnU8hO5ETUk]" - Blind Guardian
"The Ecstasy of Gold [http://youtu.be/nOr0na6mKJQ]" - Ennio Morricone
"Tears [http://youtu.be/zEH_LSL4rVw]" - Health
"Gods and Punks [http://youtu.be/D2giqZ2Syso]" - Monster Magnet
"Lone Wolf's Theme" [http://youtu.be/4s7pNmhnBTw] - Mark Lindsay & W. Michael Lewis
And ANYTHING off the Anarchy Reigns OST.

Okay, I've inflicted enough of my musical tastes on the public for one day.
