Back in 2005 I was gifted both Guero (by Beck) and Guild Wars on my birthday and ended up listening to the album on repeat while playing the game and I really vivid visual flashbacks to that game's art style whenever I hear that album.
- mikey_p 7y agoAs a child I was gifted an album (cheesy christian rock, but it's what my parents would buy me) and a full set of the Chronicles of Narnia. Album went on repeat while I read the first few books and now they are forever, deeply linked in my memory.
- johnchristopher 7y agoI read the Lord of the Rings while listening to the 1492 OST on a tape. That album is the real and best soundtrack of the book and the movie to me.
- armenarmen 7y agoJimi Hendrix and Morrowind for me
- joe-collins 7y agoSwitchfoot and Morrowind.
- ozzmotik 7y agoalong the same lines, red hot chili peppers and halo 2 on Xbox live for me! also morrowind since somehow I managed to accrue 250+ hours of play time on that despite spending about 16 hours out of every day that I wasn't at school (those days were more like 8-10 hours ಠ_ರೃ) playing halo 2 online.
- spats1990 7y agoUltimate early 2000s combination: Linkin Park and Tribes 2.
- VladimirGolovin 7y agoFor me, it's Morrowind and Morrowind. The in-game music was amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xULTMMgwLuo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xULTMMgwLuo
- xsmasher 7y agoUltima 7 and Kate Bush's "The Red Shoes" for me, in the winter of '94.
- lamchob 7y agoWorld of Warcraft and Edguy's "Rocket Ride" album. I still listen to this band, but no other album has same "pull" for me.
- swimfar 7y agoThat's funny. It was Odelay and Kingdom of Drakkar for me.
- s_Hogg 7y agoQuake 3 Arena, Music for the Jilted Generation oh my god It's fun deciding to imprint yourself in that way, it feels like a conscious decision to re-wire. That said, the most deeply-seated ones are the ones I didn't really decide on.
- barryhoodlum 7y agoI always associate The Smashing Pumpkins with Doom because of this. By coincidence, one of their songs actually has a Doom sound effect in it.
- homonculus1 7y agoNot a coincidence actually! DOOM had Smashing Pumpkins in it first: the cheat IDSPISPOPD ("smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris") gives you the chainsaw due to some inside joke. The Smashing Pumpkins sample is a nod to this.
- warp 7y agoDoom 1 and Body Count (Ice-T's metal band's first album) for me.
- tempi 7y agoMorbid Angel - Covenant and Diablo II for me.
- synthmeat 7y agoBaldur's Gate and Bob Marley over here.
