This was done a while back, but i couldn't find it. Anyway, what do you listen to? I've started listening to:

Fulfilled Desire f- FF VII Crisis Core Soundtrack

Its an absolutely epic piece of music

Havn't really given this a thought. I usually listen to nothing, so I can think straight (aint easy thinking while lisening to metal).

I'd say most likely bands would be Amon Amarth, Ensiferum or Opeth. First two since they're Viking metal, and Opeth because Mikael Akerfeldt is my fav lyricist.

O listen to the more face paced jap songs, mainly those from certain animes and certain game battle musics.

^What i thought

I generally find listening to classical music while rp'ing makes it easier to rp... just my opinion.

I found one song that works very well for me. it's I Stand Alone by Godsmack. It has a good pace and is in PoP:WW, which kinda motivates me.

Another good one for me would probly be Otherworld by Nobuo Uematsuo.

When I played FF8, I listened to the Blue October: Foiled for the Last Time CD about a hundred times, no joke. So now every time I seem anything associated with FF8, She's My Ride Home pops in my head. xD

I've been intensly listening to epic classical songs to try and make better posts.

Been listening to

Lux Aeterna - Clint Mansell
Unstoppable - E.S. Posthumus
O Fortuna - Therion
Skulls & Crossbones - that guy who did the music for Pirates of the Caribbean

I really only listen to classical when I rp. Same goes for when I write, too. I dunno, I just find it relaxing, even if I am in a fighting rp right now!

I listen to Kanye West's 808&Heartbreak album. The beats change my tempo and I get a more diverse style of writing that way.

Man with a Machine Gun ftw!
