Hi, Yeah, same hear. I find I'm able to play the game better with loud rock music playing in the background even though at the same time it is confusing. I think part of it requires blocking out the lyrics wwhile getting into the wrythm and tempo of the music. It energizes me, and yet if I listen to it directly I would screw up.
Interesting enough though I have been experimenting with a sort of special theme mp3 playlist for the game. It was sort of cool playing MOTA with Michael Jackson's Thriller in the background because it sort of fit in with the mood of monsters chasing you and trying to kill you. The wolf howels etc really added a new dimmention to the ambiance of the game. Wicked is what it was. Lol! On 11/18/10, dark <d...@xgam.org> wrote: > Lol tom! > > Actually i have done the same.
