What do you listen to when you game?

[Grailkeeper]

I was wondering what kind of music you guys listen to when gaming. In my expierience in games stores there is a lot of metal ranging from thin lizzy and other seventies era stuff up to pretty hardcore modern stuff. I don't like it very much (I can enjoy the seventies stuff) but I prefer daft punk/new wave/ madchester tunes when its my turn to pick the songs

Whne I see online polls on what songs matches what army there tends to a be a lot of metal that I've never heard of-.

What do BoL's posters listen to when gaming?

We usually listen to 80s heavy metal in the background - quietly though lol. And we often watch Star Trek TNG when its not our turns.. its win. We're winning.

When at home? Ipod on shuffle. Which given the wide range of stuff on mine is dangerous :P

The store I mostly gamed at had a lot of musical score soundtracks that were heavily badass. (Conan, King Arthur, LotR, etc.) Made for a nice heavy cinematic feel.

At someone's house? Generally we don't have music playing, for whatever reason...

I game at my friend's house. Usually, we'll have the TV on in a different room, or our non-wargaming friends will be playing a video game or whining about how boring 40k is.

While I play the Gods talk to me, this is what I listen to.

[Whoop!]

I like to listen to the Insane Clown Posse, so I usually have to wear my ipod. Nothing like violence, destruction, and face paint!

Exactly my thoughts!!! Some of my best battles were fought to the soundtracks of Conan and Starship Troopers. In fact, IG players often win more with Starship Troopers music in the background lol.

As far as players with headphones in while playing; I find that downright rude. I have refused to play several people bc they require having their headphones so loud that they need me to repeat everything I say. I understand you want to get in your 'zone' but this is a social game so enjoy the other persons company (if you can that is lol)

[Grailkeeper]

I've never played someone with headphones in, it would seem rude to be 5 foot away from someone for 2+ hours and not talk to them, but if your opponents don't mind who am I to judge?

When I paint I listen to bands like all shall perish, acacia strain, gojira and some very old school hip hop, Africa bombarta, grandmaster flash ect.
And a bit of primus when I'm in the mood.
