Just for no reason at all other than curiosity and...

an emotional need for a more personal form of human contact in order to make up for all the love my parents never gave me...

what kind of music does everyone listen to when they play arcanum/fallout/any game in general?

i mean the arcanum soundtrack is ok, but i think its a little slow, i always fall asleep to it when i'm playing at night, i know a lot of people must have winamp or something open while they're playing (or have headphones on like me), so yeah, what do you guys and gals listen to while traversin the continent of arcanum?

me you ask?
Smashing Pumpkins
the Dead Kennedys
Aus Rotten
Propaghandi
Tool
A Perfect Circle
The Aquabats
The Ramones
At the Drive In
Sparta
Sunny Day Real Estate
Pedro the Lion
The Meat Puppets
Vivaldi

 

What am I listening to right now? (As I peruse the internet)

Jack Johnson
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jason Mraz
Matchbox 20
Marcy Playground
Billy Joel
Goldfinger (by Shirley Bassey) [What can I say?]
Suicide is Painless (Theme from MASH)
And some other, random stuff

 

Mostly, I listen to video/game soundtracks/audio.

The latest have been including;

Jurassic Park main theme
All Star - by Smashmouth
Independence Day main theme
LotR soundtrack
A Kiss to Build a Dream On - by Louis Armstrong (sp?)

As well as Eye of the Tiger and Pomp and Circumstance.

 

I mainly just listen to the Arcanum music when I play that.

But yeah if I'm playing anything else it's on.

Mainly,

AFI
Bad Religion
Beck
The Faint
Thrice
Queens of the Stoneage
VAST

And we can't forget Audioslave.


Then again that's what I listen to when I do everything else, so go figure.

 

Ah, yes. I also listen to Arcanum music, though it be the Arcanum, Villages, DwarvenMusic, and Caladon music.

Also, I sometimes listen to some music from Morrowind, but it's just the intro music and, I think, exploring track number 3.

 

I just listen to the soundtrack when playin, but in general I listen to a lot of different things.

Various country artists
Def Leopard
Eagles
Styx
Also just about anything else that happens to come on the radio except for rap.

 

System of a Down
Half-Life soundtrack(some of the tunes blow)
Deus Ex soundtrack
The Doors
A few of the songs from Road to Perdition

 

Depends on the game. CRPG's, usually the original sound track. FPS's, well those are different strory. But usually I'll listen:

Union Underground
Rammstein
Lullacry
P.O.D.
Billy Idol
Drowning Pool
Nightwish
Orbital

 

Color me retarded

Fantomas
Tool
Mr. Bungle
The Beatles
Beck
Old Chili Peppers (Mother's Milk, BSSM)
Lovage
Deltron 3030
Faith No More
Your Mother Moaning
Bauhaus
Depeche Mode
Mindless Self Indulgence
Nirvana
Frank Zappa
Apocalyptica
NES midi files (Castlevania, Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, etc...)
Sonic The Hedgehog .wav files

Arcanum mp3 files

And a whole ton of other crap that decent people don't like.

 

oh yeah, also:

nine inch nails
soundgarden
alice in chains
and all sorts of classical music
w/ various classic rock songs too

 

hmmm... yes

AE, its hard to hate you... i forgot about bauhaus and NIN, and i just slashed my wrists for forgetting frank zappa, the Black Page is just about my favorite song of all time... i was kind of on a punk binge when i posted this thread, so yeah i'd like to add a few to this list...

Bauhaus
David Bowie
The Cure
Nine Inch Nails
A Perfect Circle
Frank Zappa
CKY
Ben Folds Five
Econoline Crush
Rage Against the Machine
BECK
Pansy Division (just for laughs...)
Loudermilk
Dick Dale
The Ventures
and Various Ska...

thanks AE, mentioning bauhaus kind of slapped me in the face with the fact that i mentioned like 15 punk bands i only just started getting into and forgot all of these old playlist staples

 

a "moment"

Hell yeah, I forgot about David Bowie! Ziggy is fuckin great, I just picked up the 30th aniversary DVD and it's amazing! It's not that I dislike you, I don't even know you. I'm just a bit uncensored and rude online. Like I said before, mostly I'm just venting, pushing people's buttons, trying to get attention cause I'm so unloved, you know, stuff like that. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the Pumpkins have some good songs, but Billy Corgan is a fucker, worse then Eddie Vedder in every interview I've ever read. And he talked all kinds of shit about Cobain while he was alive, then talked about him like an old friend after he died. I just don't like him.

 

well who was going out with courtney love before cobain??? CORGAN!!!!!! then she dumped billy for kurt (kurdt?)thats reason enough to be pissed at him... isnt it?

i'd also like to add

NIRVANA

i cant believe i forgot them the second time
