Ok, hopefully this is the right place for this discussion, as it is hobby related, but not something a lot of gamers do without realising...


What music do you listen to when gaming/painting/anything hobby related?


But please, please, please do NOT turn this into music bashing.

I listen to... things that aren't music, such as:

Youtube videos, mainly from totalbiscuit and omfgcata
the Day9 dailies
Starcraft 2 tourneys
some of my anime
other stuff I can't remember atm

I find that If I'm going to watch something, but mostly just need to listen, I simply combo the two with painting. I don't do this when assembling, as I want to remain focused and not make any mistakes.

This isn't meant as a critisizm, just a curious question lols... by industrial do you mean industrial metal, or industrial as in NIN, Noisuf-X, Eistenfunk etc?

Yeah, Pandora's pretty good, free streaming music with rare self promo commercial, good range of a music collection, but their folders/genres can be wrong fairly often (song that came out in 2001 for a 90's band still being in the 90's folder for example, nothing serious).

I watch netflix it is a great way to go through a series you are dying to watch. You will want to watch the next episode but I make a deal with my self that I will have to paint while watching so it knocks out models pretty fast and it doesn't really cut into your personal time cause it is two things at once, and one is for a tv show and that is a time that you already accept. For gaming purposes I have an iPod on with our music and just some bantering.

I like to imagine the Emperor kills so many Orks that he ends up half buried beneath a pile of corpses, with only his head sticking out. A lone grot stumbles across him, and starts choking him.

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.
