Music you hum/think when gaming

Post by Vympel »

Rome: Total War

This one is an absolute no-brainer,

Gladiator, "The Battle". Obviously.

Morrowind, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Fable: The Lost Chapters

Troy, when Achilles storms the Beach- when I'm hacking through legions of baddies, of course.

Rainbow Six, SWAT 3 & 4, Ghost Recon

The Rock, Hummel Steals the Rockets

Hearts of Iron

Anything Red Army Choir, because I don't play anyone but the Russians.

My favorite music comes from videogames. So I'm usually just humming along with the game.

Zelda and Metroid themes, mostly. Sometimes Phantom of the Opera. But mostly Zelda and Metroid.

If I hum anything while playing a game, it's usually the music from Tetris. I don't know why, I just do.
"I want to mow down a bunch of motherfuckers with absurdly large weapons and relative impunity - preferably in and around a skyscraper. Then I want to fight a grim battle against the unlikely duo of the Terminator and Robocop. The last level should involve (but not be limited to) multiple robo-Hitlers and a gorillasaurus rex."--Uraniun235 on his ideal FPS game

"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant compared to the power of the Force."--Darth Vader

I usually have the opposite issue - I'll hum the game's music when I wish I was playing it!

Oh, definitely, I should have read the title better.

I don't hum game themes when I'm playing, most of the time. I hum them when I'm NOT playing and wish I was. For example, when I'm driving.

Heck, I created my ultimate CD mix with Phantom of the Opera, Zelda, Metroid, and Super Smash Bros Melee themes.

Same here. I practically know all of the songs from my favorite games by heart. :) It probably annoys the hell out of other people, though, because sometimes I kinda go overboard with it. But it's fun. *starts humming "Try to Star" from Gradius III*
