Your Killing Song?

[Hiphophippo]

One-Winged Angel. I mean... do I even have to explain?

Yes. Do it slowly, so I can find my shotgun shells.
(Seriously, overplayed Latin hymns don't really work unless you envision yourself as Damien when you play games...)

Hymn? You do know what One-Winged Angel is, right?

I bet he does. Do you know what a Hymn is? I'm guessing not.

Yes, I do. But just to clarify:

"A hymn is a type of song, usually religious, specifically written for the purpose of praise, adoration or prayer, and typically addressed to a deity or deities, or to a prominent figure or personification."

From Wikipedia. Also, let it be noted that hymns are not inherently in Latin, nor are they always sung by a choir, or anything like that.

Sephiroth was hardly the object of "praise, adoration or prayer." It's not a hymn.

It's like you've never even played the game or heard the song. The entire song is one big wank for sephiroth.

Actually, it's my favorite game, I've played through multiple times (including Crisis Core), and I have more than 10 different mixes and orchestrations of the song in my iTunes library.

But the song isn't about how awesome he is, it's about how evil he is: it's meant to lend intensity to the battle, not to praise him. Even when the lyrics are translated, it's not "Praise Sephiroth, he is amazing and to be adored." It's talking about his rage and his lust for destruction, which are the reasons we're trying to kill him. Again, not very hymn-like.

All I gotta say is, "LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR" !

Ultimate Battle song.

Strawberry fields forever it works on so many levels! Especially on shooters i love watering the strawberry fields with the blood of my enemys!

 

[Jory]

Anything by Meshuggah

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

Scatman's pretty decent yea.

 

[Blanket]

Enter Shikari - Step Up [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isYOqnJMCv4]

Basically, anything from the second Enter Shikari album, Common Dreads. Simply delicious.

EDIT :: Actually, screw it. ANY song by Enter Shikari is amazing to kill to. Enter Shikari are just, yes.

I don't really listen to music, so pretty much any song would do.

 

[Joe Deadman]

Don't stop me now by Queen. It just makes everything so funny Yakkity sax is also good.

 

[MercurySteam]

For me this song works everywhere. Killing people to music is good enough, but killing people to music that is so good that you have to sing along with just makes the whole sing incredibly obscure and awesome.

The Queens of the Stone Age are simply awesome. You'd be surprised how well 3s and 7s work in some games.

Just Like You Imagined by Nine Inch Nails always works.
As the 300 trailer and its many parodies showed us.

And Apossibly by The Apex Theory works strangely well.

 

[Ocelano]

Well for just video games I mainly stick with the soundtrack or more likely I'll be watching a dvd in the background but expanding to other activities when hunting humans in the local laser maze I like to break out into

It just has such a lovely tempo for that kind of activity steadies my pae and slightly creeps them out

KILLING IN THE NAME OF,

FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME

\m/ ROCK ON \m/

 

[traceur_]

The Chicken Dance, obviously.

 

[Herklethehoboking]

[MostlyHarmless]

Killing in the Name Of, for those really epic battles.

I am the Walrus is good when playing GTA.
