Thread: What do you all listen to when playing EB?

    Default What do you all listen to when playing EB?

    I think I remember seeing a similar topic but I cant seem to find it. I ussually turn up some old school hip hop and rnb.

    I did however end up making an instrumental for hip hop, but I found to be very entertaining to listen to while in the middle of a fight. Makes it feel all epic and dramatic and stuff

    I listen to The Edge, a radio station here in NZ.

    I read that first part then was distracted by someone before reading the second half of it. Gave me quite the chuckle haha

    I listen the dishwasher, because I am banned to the kitchen when playing a game with a lot of killing sounds and shouting in strange languages. Nothing for a relaxing evening in the living room....

    I listen to Death-, Trash- and Heavy Metal. This kind of music combined with the mass slaughtering of pixelsoldiers, creates a potential for running amok far superior to what a ordinary FPS-player is able to achieve.
    I like to conquer.

    In the strategic map, it's always the vanilla EB music. The same usually goes for the tactical map, but there I sometimes throw in "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater or "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. That's, uh... EB-music, rock and psychedelic rock, respectively.

    I must say, Britpop doesn't fit EB, but that's my flaw.

    ... from time to time one the operas from G. Puccini.
    Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:

    "Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
    "The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"

    EB music.

    Even if I wanted to listen to anything else my computer is too much of a trash to run both EB and a media player at once.

    I'm mostly obliged to hear whatever football κрαп bro turns on the TV though.

    I must say, a bit of CCR is a f**king brilliant choice!!! One of the most under-rated bands ever in my opinion.

    I listen to my own playlist of heavier metal (not death or thrash) including bands such as Soil, Slipknot, Static-X, and others... weird that the three I used as example all start in 'S'!

    I just listen to the EB soundtrack. My computer can barely handle EB by itself, let alone a music programs running in addition to the game.

    Hammerfall - Ravenlord, Let the Hammer Fall, Hero's Return, Blood Bound
    Falconer - Enter the Glade, The Clarion Call, Lord of the Blacksmiths
    Dream Theater - Pull Me Under, The Glass Prison, Misunderstood
    Iced Earth - 1776, I Died For You
    Stratovarius - Anthem of the World, A Million Light Years Away, Bloodstone, Dreamweaver, SOS, Kill the King, Awaken the Giant, Millennium
    Nightwish - The Kinslayer, End of All Hope, Moondance, Wishmaster
    Slipknot - Before I Forget, Wait and Bleed
    Dio - Losing My Insanity, Holy Diver, Rainbow in the Dark
    Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon, No More Tears, Gets Me Through, Crazy Train
    Sonata Arctica - I Want Out, Full Moon, 8th Commandment, San Sebastian
    Symphony X - In the Dragon's Den, The Eyes of Medusa, The Witching Hour, King of Terrors, Masquerade '98

    Quite possibly.

    "Hip hop" means nothing to me. I can't relate to anything they sing about. I don't have millions of dollars. I don't drive a Bentley. I don't beat my hoes. I have respect for the rule of law and don't want to "f**k tha police". I don't like big buts. I can in fact, touch this.

    I prefer to listen to metal, but I also like to listen to blues or folk music if fancy takes me. I really like Johnny Cash or Nick Drake. Francis Dunnery is also brilliant.

    Then I'll tear this sh!t up with some Megadeth or Funeral for a Friend (before they turned gay).

    I can't stand anachronistic music. The only exception I allow myself is "Dido & Aeneas" from Purcell while playing as Kart-Hadast.

    I listen to Chinese rock music... I won't bother to list them since most people in China, let alone other countries, have never heard of them.

    Western music I like Dropkick Murphy and Flogging Molly... kind of strange listening to Irish punk rock while playing as Saba though...

    I seen Flogging Molly twice in one day last year, they were BRILLIANT!!
