Do you listen to music while gaming?

[Layari]

Do you guys listen to music while gaming, if so what bands and while playing which games?

[Soully]

Any music fits, and ye

Depends on the game - some where you play your own music like Beat Hazard obviously not.

Others where the music fits the game or is generated/switched based on what is going on, like eversion (although might be a bit annoying if you get stuck on a particular level section for a while) or where the game is creepy (Undying, VTM:B), or playing the first time on a story/voice acting heavy game I will leave in game sound on (maybe turning down/off the music if I am not keen on it).

But anything with generic music I tend to turn it off and play my own stuff, usually just the general shuffle but some games have specific playlists - usually odd associations, like Iron Maiden and X2/X3 and similar space exploration games, mainly due to listening to it originally when playing Elite back in the 80s.

[Those Who Dig]

It depends on which game I'm playing. If I'm playing an MMO like Star Wars The Old Republic, I'll occasionally have some music playing in the background. I commonly play music when I'm on Minecraft, too. If there's a lot of dialogue and I find the story of the game interesting, I'll keep to the game's sounds.

As to which music I play, generally rock & metal. Mostly bands like Motorhead, System of a Down, Godsmack, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath etc.

[Jæræmy]

I listen to different genres in different games

[Canada Ball]

If the soundtrack of the game is worth it I won't. Otherwise I do it most of the time.

[LPL]

Yes

[Shamiram]

Yeah, I listen to the sountrack playing in the background. That counts, right?

[Spawn of Totoro]

Depends on the game.

I listen to music while playing Minecraft, but I don't listen when playing games with a lot of voice acting or where sound is a key part of the game.
