Do any of you have nights where you just play vid. games with mates listening to Aphex Twin, Vibert or whatever all night? Games and idm, what a combo...anyone agree...disagree? :P

Yeah, I only have about three who like Aphex Twin and they all like different aspects about his music.
Like one really only cares for his ambient work, while the other likes his more 'beaty' (I just made that a word) material, and so on and so on.

sometimes yes, but only if I'm also really stoned. That makes it 10 times better!

Yeah i agree. It's great playing games or just getting drunk/stoned with friends with IDM playing in the background. I'm glad i have some friends into this type of music.

I don't combine games and IDM... or ANY type of music.
The reason being that I LOVE video game music. At it's best, I love game tunes just as much as ''real'' music. And sometimes I'll play a game and get to a certain level just to hear the music in it.

I rarely combine games and music. generally only in the situation i described above.
for an rpg like chrono trigger or ff7, or a platformer like sonic, the in game music is as good as any idm.

I'm the same as Ophecks.
I love video game music as well. And yes, video game music can be as good as any IDM.
Video Game music is soooo underrated.
If only more people outside of Japan and South East Asia enjoyed it.

Yeah, video game music is cool, I enjoy many simple songs cause I'm into NES and SNES, that is my era. Think will not be a good idea put IDM when I'm playing cause it will distract me from the game.

I do it all the time, in GTA3 for PC for example, there is an mp3 player in the car, and u load any mp3's u have on ur computer and it plays em for the game. I also turn game music off and put aphex twin on. I usually do it stoned, so its even more fun.
I love video game music too, but after a while I get tired of some of the songs, and also, most of the games out there have less than stellar soundtracks anyway. I never do it for RPG's because the music in those games propels the story just as much as the game itself, the music is meant to compliment the game, but in many action/adventure games, well lets just say it doesnt compare to AFX.

Exactly. Most rpgs (chrono trigger and ff7 and 8 especially) have soundtracks that i would buy if they weren't so hard to find. But some action games have crap soundtracks that i would much rather have idm playing.
