Did you ever listened to RockNRoll while playing video games

[insanecow0]

That makes sense.

[DinnerX]

Yes I have listened to rock n' roll while playing video games. I'm so bad.

I would say that about 95% of the time I play handhelds it's with the music off.

Ditto for me. This is in contrast with my kids who have it full blast. They usually have max brightness/max sound and they wonder why the battery life is not so good.

Back in the NES~N64 days, if a game had really bad music (or I felt it didn't suit the game) I'd put on a CD instead. Now when I listen to those same CDs I get flashbacks of playing games.

I also do this. I don't feel right playing games without their actual soundtrack. I quickly get annoyed at not havign the relevant music and sound effects and turn off the music and turn the game sound back up.

My hobbies have to be kept seperate I guess.

I will do this while playing any SSX game. Most of the in game music gets old quick so I'll turn off the sound and throw a disc full of mp3's in the Bose.



A few that I dig (not necessarily all rock n' roll):

Beatnuts - "Hot"
Misfits - "Last Caress"
Smashing Pumpkins - "Tarantula"
Kosheen - "Hide U"
Moby - "Gob Moving Over the Face of the Water"
Panda Bear - "Slow Motion"

I have a couple of mp3 CDs I keep in my car, each with over 100 tracks. I have the songs in alphabetical order by title. On one of the CDs, I have a live version of War Within a Breath (RATM) so when that comes on I usually crank it really loud. Immediately after that track ends, you hear "WE BUILT THIS CITY!" and I have to quickly turn the volume down in embarrassment. But then I remember that the song is badass and I turn it back up with courage.

The pool hall Good Fellas I use to play in a lot had a jukebox with a loud sound system. Depending on who got to it first, you'd hear a genre for 5 or more songs in a row (you were also able to buy a bump to get your songs to play first). So one night there's this real dirty rap music playing. Then all of a sudden a song ends and you hear "WE BUILT THIS CITY!" It was really quite amazing.

The only time I ever really listen to anything other than the in-game soundtrack is while playing PC games. WoW, SC2, Sims, etc.

Yep. Gran Turismo PSP and GT5 have custom soundtracks. I loaded it up with Pantera, Slayer, Sepultura, etc.
