Good moring SI! It's that time again. It's the daily thread in the series Liandreth likes to call, getting to know your SI friends.

What do you listen to while you play? Do you listen to any music? Do you listen to the game sounds?

What about snacks and/or drinks? Do you have a prefered 'gaming fuel'?

I listen to (and don't laugh!) my 70s channel. Also, I usually have the game sounds up pretty high. I'll throw in some classic rock, Janis, Pink Floyd, etc. Unless I'm in pvp, then it's 5FDP, or stuff a long that lines. Something to get your blood flowing. Run to the Hills By Iron Maiden!

I love my coffee when I'm gaming. Can drink my keurig dry. I also eat these rice cake chip things. Salt and Vinegar and Ketchup are my favourite flavours. And Sour Cherry Blasters.

And who else is excited for tomorrow?! I know I am. Make sure you give a wave to Serenity in game!

I keep the game sounds turned on but set on low so I can rock out to my Kpop playlists. :)

As far as snacks/fuel: probably something to drink like water. Sometimes I'll even have a beer but my tolerance is so low that I lose my ability to play well. No food, though. I know there's calories in my beer but I try to stay away from snacking while playing.

I'm so excited for tomorrow!

-Saja

same....game music down to 15-20...effects sound down to 40...itunes rocking out!!!

hmmm as far as fuel....i munch on whatever i have currently...starbursts,MnM{peanut butter},airheads,and pepperidge farm's chessmate cookies....are my fav 4 though...and i usually keep a stock fo them in my kitchen...

Any music other than country and rap for me :).

I do like these daily threads :)
I am not a big coffee person, so either water or dr pepper or mountain dew, and snacks come in the form of yogurt or little debbies nutty bars for that sweet tooth heh. For music I enjoy a range of music from rock to alternative to dubstep to techno, kinda all over really. I also listen to the music in games, used to tanking alot, and sometimes sound ques do help out, esp healers deaths lol.

If I voice-chat I only turn down the master volume and keep playing. and sometimes I go in to this "grind-mode" were I will just kill BAMs for the next hour or two, then I will turn on my favorite playlist on youtube, mostly composed of japanese electro.

When I'm not gaming, I eat super healthy, but when I do play tera, I just got to have Mountain Dew and Smarties(Nestlé).

I cycle through a ridiculous amount of vocaloid and anisongs when I'm playing. It's a little embarrassing. @_@;

And it's mostly tea and the occasional cup of coffee for me. I can't really snack when I'm playing since I get worried about crumbs on my keyboard and the like.

I'll definitely give a shout out if I bump into you ingame tomorrow! :3

Lian, I hereby request that you make a new thread every day for the rest of forever, because I really enjoy your threads. :3

As for me, I listen to music, but not all the time. I can't play without game sounds for some reason, but I have them turned down low and the game music turned off. What I listen to depends on my mood; it usually varies between a j-pop/k-pop playlist or a playlist with stuff like Tool, Breaking Benjamin, etc. ^^ If I get lazy and don't feel like controlling the music, I make a playlist on Pandora and just let it play. xD

I used to drink a tooooon of soda while I gamed, but I actually don't drink soda at all anymore. o.o Most of the time I just drink water, but sometimes I like to load up on caffeine and drink Bawls or Full Throttle. :3 I'm one of those gamers that gets really focused and forgets to eat, so I don't eat snacks very often while I play unless I bought some kind of yummy candy that day or something. xD Most of the time I realize I haven't eaten in 8 hours and go make a bagel. /shame

You must always make thread Lian, I log in tot eh forums JUST to respond to your threads! Then since I am on I wander around and reply to 1-2 more lol

For me I drink water, coffee, and tomorrow 5 hour energy drinks for at least 24 hours lol

I don't eat, and like AzumiaDesu I sometime go long stretches of time before I remember that hey, my stomach is growling lol

For music, Rifu you are now one of my favorite people. I am obsessed with Vocaloid music (mainly the twins). Anyone that knows this saying "I would be [filtered] for Bridget" well I wouldn't... Len on the other hand... love his voice ><

... I feel slightly better knowing that it was a female that did the actual voice tones ^^

Been listening to Vocaloid since V1 with Miku... then when V2 with the twins came out, hooked! ^^

Ok /end of voca-rant ^^

So when not listening to vocaloid, I also listen to a lot of fan dubs from youtube (Kran is one of my fav's for example" or ani-music... or any asian pop (J-pop, C-pop, and K-pop) Can make some recommendations I got from my friends for C-pop (taught in China for a few months) and just what I have found for K-pop. As for J-pop, well everyone who is into anime should know J-pop ^^

EDIT - How rude of me, I listen to said music above as I play, I turn the game audio off.... exception is new areas or dungeons, I will pause my playlist and turn on audio to get the feel of the game. Serenity will say hi if I see ya, if you see me first (Chibi.Neko) wave to me too! ^^

Also if I am on guild chat I leave on game sounds and no audio, as I talk to guild mates

Usually I load up on rip its and nos, but I'm on a diet now so water and cranberry juice for me! I lower the game sounds like a few other people mention and play music unless i'm chatting with friends on vent.
The type of music varies, if I'm focused and determine to level quickly I'll listen to faster paced metal or "epic" sounding music. If I'm just relaxin' in the zone it's dubstep.
