Daily Discussion #1: Music and Online gaming

[6M69I69B9]

i don't usually listen to my own music while playing, but when i do, i @least don't mute w/e im playing for the most part.  when i played mmorpg's, like DFO (rest in peace ^v<> amen), i would mute everything or have the sound effects on once in a while.  i don't play with ear/headphones, it feels so weird doing it in your own house.

but now most mmorpg's i play are dead or just canceled, and i don't truly play online anymore unless it's pokemon, but even then i barely do that.  

Usually if I'm not playing with people I know I usually turn mute on the tv and listen to tunes on the iPod?

lame

my brother does that too once in a while and it's always mainstream pop music or some other shit music

jesus fucking christ dp are you really one of those people

sounds are pretty goddamn useful in games. they let you know what's happening before you see it. if you mute the game and listen to your own bullshit, you're missing out on a significant portion of the experience

agreed

i play music while i build my city in simcity

sim city for the snes scares me a bit.  i played it when i was a child and...i don't know why...

it just gives me an odd feel

When I run dungeons in FFXIV or raids I have my own music on. If I'm grinding for anything in any game I just play my own music so it isn't as bad.

oh also although it has nothing to do with playing online, if i'm doing something particularly repetitive in a game, like post-game grinding for whatever reason (in-game reward or trophy or whatever or just being completionist), i'll often listen to music while doing it

and i often listen to music and turn my ds or 3ds volume down while i'm breeding pokemon

I only do this with Fifa since none of the poor sudacas who still play it have mics anyway

Also I am like edm when I play ssbm because the consistent BPM is a good way to get into the groove of the game. I often have to use headphones though because many of my smash partners do not feel the same way
