Back when I had like one song, "No Phone" by Cake was endlessly looping in the background as I played A3. Now whenever I hear it I think of killing slimes. -------------------- This is my sig. Thanks for looking. :p Posts: 40 | Registered: Sunday, April 23 2006 07:00 |

I like listening to Les Mis while playing Avernum. Not sure why. However, Riverdance is the only choice for Nethergate. :) -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

Um... thanks. I guess. Really, I maintain that most music can easily be adapted to dungeon-crawling. In fact, I imagine that some fast techno could even make Undead Valley more interesting... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Good enough techno that only plays while you play Undead Valley could be an incentive, I suppose, but that would have to be some very impressive techno. —Alorael, who might do it for some especially good Domenico Scarlatti. Not that Scarlatti is especially suited to dungeon crawls, mind you. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Yep, I have a few songs from Fellowship that I listen to. Six minutes long, so sometimes I skip them by if I want a quicker beat. -------------------- "I liked white better." Posts: 771 | Registered: Tuesday, December 11 2001 08:00 |

I play music with games that don't require much concentration, like World of Warcraft. Spiderweb games, however, have a lot of dialogue and story that you need to pay attention to, and I don't like to listen to music when reading for some reason. -------------------- You lose.

Ah, but it's so easy to forget that you're reading when it's a song that you really like, or one with really prominent lyrics. I've found that it's not very annoying when playing Avernum, though... Listening to comedy, though... that's another story. That makes it really difficult to focus on the giant cockroaches without laughing. And it's even worse when you're trying to code stuff in BoA. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

By Eph: quote:Oddly enough, I enjoy music when I'm coding, but need absolute silence when debugging. Therefore, unless I'm doing something so easy I can get it right on the first try, I don't listen to music. Speaking of which, is there a version of the BoA 3D Editor that has no sounds? It'd be nice to listen to music during town design. -------------------- Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. - Brian W. Kernighan Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

I play music every time I play Avernum. I usually play Castlevania: Curse of Darkness now. You'd be surprised how much some of the songs fit the gloomy mood of Avernum (A1 at least). Posts: 6 | Registered: Saturday, October 21 2006 07:00 |

If you enjoy Iron Maiden you should listen to Primal Fear. I actually like them more and the vocals are essentially the same. They have some damn good songs such as Tears Of Rage. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |
