Do You Listen to Your Own Music While Gaming?

[DarkLordMenchi]

I play nearly every game with a custom soundtrack off my ipod, RPG's are the rare exception as i like there music but everything else gets a blast of Scandal TVBS and Stereopony(pikalove)

i tend to not listen to outside music while gaming no matter what game i'm playing. outside music takes all of my focus.

I have never played a game while listening to other music that is not from the game. I think it would be kind of distracting.

 

[Heroine of Time]

The only game I really do this with is Skyrim, because that game terrifies me beyond belief and when I have the Magikarp Song on in the background it helps a little bit. ...But not much. Because unfortunately, I'm ALSO too afraid to turn OFF the volume completely, in case something sneaks up behind me and I don't hear it, so I can still hear the lovely sounds of enemies in the other room while my heart is pounding and I'm struggling to gather courage to go in. (Aggggh, Draugrs... I don't even know why I play that game... I'm such a wimp! This is why I should stick with Zelda. XD)

Well once I muted TP and played the 25th Anniversary soundtrack over and over.

It really depends on the game. If I am playing a game I've played a lot before or beaten before I listen to my own music. Also when I play online I usually play my own music. But if I play a new game I enjoy the soundtrack first and then if I do a second play through down the road I usually turn the music down.

It depends on the soundtrack of a game. If it's Zelda, or Final Fantasy, or SotC or something... then I just enjoy the amazing tracks already in the game. Now, if it's something with a lame soundtrack (which is the case with very little of the games I actually play) then I will often plug my ipod into its deck and play something else.

I listen to music while I play games as long as I've already finished what I'm playing. That way I don't miss anything important. The music that I listen to is usually other game ost's.
