    So we all know that if you do something enough you begin to associate it with an activity that takes place at the same time. I used to listen to music a lot when I played video games 5-10 years ago, back in my xbox live days. Anywho, I listened to a few songs that reminded me of some games I played.

    Trapt - Headstrong : I used to listen to this band and this song more specifically all the time when playing Unreal Championship. Was good killing music for those instagib matches :)

    That's probably the biggest one. Other than that when I used to play GW a lot I would listen to the first Avenged Sevenfold CD while doing Fissure of Woe runs :) Good times :)

    Anything come to mind for you guys?

    I never listen to music when I am playing a game because its 99% of the time PvP so I need good coms going so music just distracts me. :(

    I only listen to music when I'm grinding in a given MMO, or just dicking around in FPS games.

    For single-player campaign type games I prefer to hear the game's original music.

    Boss fights in WOW (tbc) i used to always heal listening to Tool 10000 days, as it just put my mind in the right place subconciously.

    I deliberately use it.

    I have had lamb of god cranked up full volume at 5 in the morning when i needed to do some proper hardcore grinding.

    I tend to remember Streetlight Manifesto and playing Westfall in World of Warcraft on my night elf huntard.

    In Flames - Clayman. This always reminds me of GW prophecies!
