I played last night while listening to the soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack...Awesome...
Damn, we are nerdy....lol JK. I play to Godsmack, Cold, Creed, and lots of other Metal but the best by far to play any D&D theme based game is |RON M4IDEN.....w00t! opps, my age is showing....
I've got 20 or 30 Maiden songs on winamp, as well as all of those you listed and more. Right now, however, I'm going through my Symphony/Soundtrack stuff. over 8 hours of Orchestra music...not elevator crap but Marches and Battle Music!!! Yeah!!!!!!! (calm...calm...calm...)
Hmmm... I'm sensing a turn my amp up to 13 moment... ;p Elliott Smith playing right now. Loud noises scare me 8)
Uhm...got that too... In fact...I edited the music for the game and made the "galdiator's theme" into the main temple fight music. The general fight music I have the "Flight of the Valkriees" (sp?).
I normally bludgeon my way through the game with a bit of G&R or ACDC or Disturbed, 8 Foot Sativa, Frankenbok, Marylin Manson, PM5K, Drowing Pool, Ramstein or, if I want to get really Fiesty some thing Really ramdom from my sisters CDs. But really I'm not to fussed I like at least one song from all genres, tho I prefer Rock or "Techno".
For the Vrock I listen to N'Sync, for Hedrack and his boyos (and Iuz's appearance of course) I listen to Whitney Houston, and for the Balor, its the Wiggles... if that Balor doesn't wake up Jeff, nothing will! Or perhaps I am talking out my... never mind
so let me see, you're a gnome bard dressed in red mystic garb (cos its so cool at the moment) and your party alignment is teenybopper
well i just make my own playlist and loop it for the game. it has rob zombie, ACDC, judas priest, spiderbait, disturbed, jackal, kenny wayne sheppard, union underground, everlast and then some. same one i use when playing mechwarrior lol.
Quick question, are you guys just playing the music on (for example) media player, and turning the "in game music" volume to nill? Or swapping out the original music for re-named copies of the real music? I'd like Marilyn Mansons "Fight Song" to kick in every time I enter combat, some Nine Inch Nails Instrumental track from "the fragile" for Hommlet/Nulb (I still have to think about the other area's).
I don't think you're old, but I was born in 1963, so there are fewer and fewer people I find old anymore. ;-)
i just turn the game sound down really low and use realplayer on the pc. never thought about actually putting it into the game.
